Default Another offset question...

This will be the last thread about offsets from me, I promise!

Anyways, what do you guys think of

19x8.5 et42 Front
19x9.5 et45 Rear

These shall fit just fine eh? No fender mods, so I can lower the car ..ect ?

Thank you

^^Thanks for the link

But what I wanted to know is how would the rears look with 45 offset? They're wide enough 9.5, but with 45 offset im guessing they wont look too good without spacers? Thoughts ?

IMO you will need spacers if you are lowered. If you are not lowered then they will look just fine.

it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish...are you going for the vip look? the whole point of getting wheels with the correct offset is so you don't rub. if you are thinking about adding spacers to get that vip look, you might as well go with a more aggressive offset (IMHO)

Thing is, I want it to have a sporty look, not really after that aggressive VIP look at all. Yes, the car will be lowered, that's why I'm mostly concerned about the rear offsets, the fronts are alright as is.
