Here's my brother's car with VS-XX 19 x 8.5 + 40 (front) and 19 x 10.5 +42 (rear)


As you can see with the front, because of how low he has it, the wheel looks sunken in.



hey seize let me know when your brother wants to sell that bad boy

depends on tires brand, size, and whether you work on your fender or not

dont quite understand your statement.
the rear inner tires wont rub against the high part of the rear struts with +48.

there was concern whether or not +48 will rub against the fender, but, that offset is so conservative, it wont (trust me, mine dont and i have a finger gap in rear). when i hit bumps, the wheel actually cambers diagonally inwards. those with more aggressive offsets would be worried about rubbing the fenders.

i understand what your saying. but my point is i have a 42 offset in the rear the higher the offset the more the barrel of the wheel goes in which means the wheel gets closer to your struts, shocks. my wheels are about a 1/4 " away from my springs so i cant see a 48 offset not rubbing the springs , struts. maybe im wrong

10+48 won't rub the inside

11+47 will fit just fine (need a lot of fender work), and that wheel is like around 12mm more on the inside
