It depends on what tire sizes you put on them, as well. Can't have one without the other, and tires affect the look just as much.

I'm putting some light weight wheels on TSW makes a set of wheels called the Nurembergring rings that weigh 22.4 in the rear and 22/4 in the front they are also forged wheels and they only come in half sizes so 19x9.5 in the front 19x10.5 in the rear
TSW also makes the interlagos and they are a little lighter weighing 23.5 in the rear and 21.5 in the front

Looks like for the rear wheels 19x10.5 the offset is +27
for the front wheels 19x9.5 the offset is +41

David these offsets....^.... are wrong! Guaranteed if you use 40 offsets in front your wheels will rub inside on tight turns causing you to lose control....I should know happened to me! Buy wheels 19X9.5 (f) and 19X10.5 (r) with low to mid 20s offsets, you won't need spacers and they'll fit perfectly. Tire sizes can be 245/35s (f) and 285/35s (r).
