Help with specs on some 19"s
So instead of making several posts on how such and such a wheel fit I figured I would make one and just get a range of what I should look for. Basically I have a 2nd gen gs and im looking to purchase a set of 19's. I plan on significantly lowering the car to either tuck tire or have it sit flush. So now my question is what sizes and offsets should I look for. Should I go with an 8" or 9" up front and what size should I run in the rear whether it be 9" or 10" or even 10.5". Also what offsets should I look for, for both the front and the rear. Thanks in advance.

Ok well I do want a mild stretch. Suspension will be coilovers. And I do not want to shave fenders, but I wont mind getting them rolled. I also need it to clear front LS BBK. Id like to keep camber pretty close to 0..-1..-2, just so I dont eat through tires, but I do like the negative camber look. The wheel im currently drooling over is a bbs lm, but the actual bbs is out of question due ot the price. So next option would be the luff m1. Would any of the following specs work on my car?
Size: 19x8.5
Finish: Silver Painted
BP 2: 5x114.3
Offset: 22
Size: 19x10.5
Finish: Silver Painted
BP 2: 5x114.3
Offset: 22
thanks.

hey v8 aristo, even with a stretched tire I cant have it sit so the top of the tire is flush with the fenders while still keeping a decent camber? I wish I could go very aggressive, but its just not practical around where I live and it would just kill my wallet, but at the same time I dont want to be the guy you see driving around who just threw some rims on their car and calls it a day. I want to have the car looking like the rims are perfectly fitted on there and that you cant fit anything in between .

That should work, at the very least you might have to run a stretched tire.
The front is fine, but the back is very agressive. Also, you do know you need RCAs fot the BBK you plan on using, right?
I had a issues my self too. The back have to be shaved and if you want the fronts to look clean and not worry about paint damage or dimples on the fender, then you should shave them as well.

Yep, You need to go with a 20" wheel on a 35 series or run a 40 series on the 19" wheel. That is the only way to get rid of the gap and have some what of a conservative camber. My best advise to you is find someone who has the set up and look you want to achive and talk to them. V8 know his stuff, he was one of the guys who helped me with this issue when I was trying to decide my fitment.
Any lower than 1.8" will result in negative camber
