or
19X9.5 + 35
19X10.5 +30

the first option looks better the second one might be a little too aggressive for the rear.

I believe I set up an agressive fitment or found one on here. Lots of safe setups with great looking cars and specs posted in it. Check my posts I believe I have a link in there somewhere and you can ask tons of questions on setups.

The first set is easily doable and most likely won't cause trouble, but it will be determined with tire sizes as well. The rears on the second set is where you might run into trouble. Not sure what your plans are for the F. Some camber it a good amount, stretch their tires, or run an appropriate amount with fender modifications. It solely depends on what you're trying to achieve. Best of luck!

That's a pretty solid fitment. Front could probably go a bit lower offset while still being conservative. I think the rear is pretty spot on.

The first option is a clean fitment

&

I would recommend to roll the rear it always is safe to do so and wont hurt to do it either.

Biggu your fitment is clean and on the money IMO

Like others have said the first setup is the safest but we need to know the following to really help you out:

1) Proposed tire sizes

2) R u lowered or do you plan to be lowered and if so how much

Stance and safe are not normally used in the same sentence. Stance is all about appearance. Safe is about maintaining the integrity of the factory design. Putting wheels on the car with an offset different than stock changes everything about the suspension and reduces wheel bearing life. Neither of these are things I would call safe.

If it's a show car, no one cares. If it's a race car, only the suspension engineer cares, and he'll do his best to fix the issues. If it's a daily driver, you're going to add to your maintenance costs if nothing else.
