The offsets u have there are conservative set up. Which won't give u the flush look.
As everybody knows the simple rules of modding......WIDE & LOW. If u don't want to drop the car too low, then make the wheels wide. I had my girlfriend driven my LS430 and I drove her Corolla looking at my LS running......man.....the wide flush look is THE KILLER
By tuck-in, I meant the wheels sit flush with the body of the car.

The picture I posted was taken a while back. My car is pretty low now and it has negative camber already.

I currently have amistad r 19x8.5 +40 and 19x10+42. I'm ok with the back but disappointed with the front. If these vienna sovereign is just a little more aggressive than my amistad r, I'll be happy. Are they?

It's only a +3 mm difference. Technically, it's "a little more aggressive," but basically the same spec. In other words, you won't be happy.

With the offsets you given, the front wheel is going to come out 3mm(1/8") from you previous wheels and the rear will be 8mm(1/3") pushed in. To me that sounds like the same wheel size.

I really want to get new 19 inch 5 spokes that are more aggressive than my amistad wheels. The wheels I really like are vienna sovereign, lsportline model iv, zauber gettin but these are all discontinued. Do you know any other ones out there that look similar to these?

I like rays 503x but the best offsets I could get are 19x9 +43 and 19x10+40. The only offsets that lexion 503x have are 19x9+43 and 19x10 +45 but they are at least $800 cheaper than the rays 503x

WORK have some nice 5-spoke designs such as the Euroline LS, Euroline KH, and VS KF

The Vienna Courage looks nice but they only recommend 19x9.0 +44(HP) and 19x10 +49(NR). Couldn't I do 19x10+49 (SL) or even 19x10 +37(SL)?

Fronts might not fit unless they're high disk, but the rears will fit.

Yes, the front is high disk.

Is that the lowest offsets I can go without modifications? I'm running the standard size for LS 245/40/19 and 275/35/19.

Beautiful car by the way.

I like these ZONE 3 wheels too but they are too expensive brand new. The set SoCalSC4 is selling won't fit my car, I think.
