Ideal Wheels?

I really like the look and the price of the 19" Ruff 277's. From what I have read they will fit my 06 6mt sedan along with 245/35/19(F) and 275/30/19(R) tires. The only issue from what I understand is the offset for the rear wheel. I would like to lower my car about an inch to an inch and a half and from reading the posts by SHODOG and BIG SASH, that means rolling fenders on my car that has less than 2000 miles! Can anyone tell me the perfect offset for 19" staggered wheels for the 6mt G sedan or an alternative to rolling fenders.

With those size rear tires you will need to roll your fenders. It is not a big deal and if you heat them first you will not hurt the paint.

I have 20x10's +43 in the rear and they just clear the fender by 2-3mm after being rolled. If you got a 9.5" +45-48 you might just make it. But it does look sweet when they tuck right behind the fender and no one can believe they don't rub.

Update: now I have 20x10 +40's in the rear. There is no way any more woudl fit.

Came in +35 front and rear even though I changed my order to +43 rear. Looks ok though. Sits right in line with the fender. Lowered on Eibachs.

Ahh I just posted in your other thread about this. Why did you keep them if they came in the wrong offset?

Pretty aggresive offset in the back. Do you rub when loaded up with weight in the back?

Do you have any side shots?

Side and rear shots added. Just drove with wife and baby in the back and shopping in the trunk. No rubbing whatsoever. Rear tires are 265 by the way.
