weak offsets, I wouldn't bother if they're going on a coupe

it'll look terrible on a coupe.

don't even bother.

wait for a 9.5/10.5 setup.

19"8.5 +35
19"9.5 +35

If you got spacers for that, would that fit on a coupe or will it still look to tucked.

The oem 17" rims have a +32 offset (i believe) so that should give you an idea of how they will sit with the fenders...

if you are going 8.5 in the front then you want your offset between +22 and probably +5
If you are going 9.5 in the rear you want your offset between +22 and +15

^These offsets will give you a pretty "flush" look (no space between the fender and the tire).

If you are going 9.5 in the front then you want your offset between +28 and +22
If you are going 10.5 In the rear then you want your offset +28 and probably +22

^these offsets will give you a pretty "flush" look as well.

Remember with offsets (for the coupe) the higher the number the more tucked away from the fender they are going to be. The lower the number the closer to the edge of the fender they are going to be.

IMO the best set up is

Front - 19x9.5 +22 with a 255/35/19 tire
Rear - 19x10.5 +22 with a 295/30/19 tire (you will have to roll your fenders) if you dont want to roll your fenders then go with a 275/35/19 tire.

^^ That's really great info. Really explains a lot to me. I'll keep that in mind.

But I don't get what spacers do. Do you subtract from the offset of the wheel? For example, if I have a +35 offset and get a +15 spacer, would the offset be around +20 or would it add and get an offset of +50?

I'm seeing how to get +35 offsets to fit.
