19x11 fitment?

I did some searching and found a few things regarding 19x11 fitment. I'm eyeing up these new wheels I'm ready to pull the trigger on, but I can't seem to decide on offsets and widths. I'm torn between three setups, these are concave wheels, not lipped.

Option 1, easy fitment
19x9+20 front with 19x10+20 rear, probably 255/35 and 285/35 tire sizes

Option 2, little more difficult?
19x10+20 front with 19x10+20 rear, 275/35 all around?

Option 3, beyond my comprehension?
19x10+20 front with 19x11+33 rear (lowest offset, but still very concave), 265/30 front with 295/30 rear

Wheel fitment compared to OEM 18 is as follows:
19x9+20 is 3mm towards the inside and 23mm towards the fender lip

19x10+20 is 15mm towards the inside and 35mm towards the fender lip

19x11+33 is 41mm towards the inside and 35mm towards the fender lip

Wheel fitment of 19's is new to me, I think the first two options I could get away with fairly easily, but the allure of a 19x11 rear has rattled my brain in terms of will it fit. The 19x10 and 19x11 fitments all have a deep concave face, the 19x9 fitment isnt as deep, but still concave.

Any advice? You think I'll need some serious camber up front?

Here's my car's stance now with cobb springs and d-specs for reference:

I have a 18 X 11 in the rear of my car, and will be moving to a 12 possibly soon

11's are easy to fit, and can fit with even lower offsets than that. You should have no problems if you just get your fenders rolled

I didnt think to try the actual "check out my wheels" section, but when I did and searched it I found a recent collection of info from "houston05g35" he has RE30 in similar sizes and drop and it looks like I may not have an issue.

The only choice now is do I go for 4x 19x10+20 or go staggered with the 19x11 in the back.

go staggered. Even if you don't stagger the wheels the tires will need to be staggered in height anyways so you won't gain anything really by going nonstaggered. Unless you want to run something like 265/30/19F 265/35/19R

Yeah I think I'm leaning towards the 19x10 and 19x11 stagger with 255/35 and 285/35 Hankooks. I should be able to get at least 3-summers out of them, certainly at least 2 full summers.

the 10 and 11 stagger would be sweet, do they have other offsets available , or you would need a spacer for the rear to better match the front.

Are you looking at RE30's or something?

i'm not 100% sure how equal the track width is from front to rear, but the 19x10 and 19x11 both stick out the same distance of 35mm. After looking at houstons car, my front setup should stick out an additional 5mm because Im going with a 20mm front offset. I am considering at least a 5mm spacer in the rear to push out the 19x11, but I'll wait to see how that all works out first with fendering rolling and a slight pulling.

why a 5mm spacer? just do the math and the measuring so you wont need spacers

I run a rolled fender 9.5" +5 which has the same outer face as a 11 +24.
So I would not get any 11" rim with an offset greater than 24

The wheels Im looking at in 19x11 fitment only have minimal offset of 33mm. I'd have to run a 5mm spacer on that wheel or even the 19x10+20 to push them out more. Its something simple I can do if I'm not completely happy with the flushesness.

This might prompt to you say..."Buy different wheels with more favorable offsets." I understand that, but I really like these wheels and I'm content running 19x11 in the back with a 285.

Below are pictures of houstons car with 19x11+30 in the back and 19x10+25 in the front with the same spec tire I plan on going with.

This is before he installed a camber, he told me it actually got closer to the fender lip in the front and rear when he dialed in the camber:

are you saying i should have an offset in the rear of +20 or +30? i'm assuming you are saying I should have an offset lower than 24.

All I can ask, is what size tire you are running because I figure you're probably not running anything wider than 275/35 on the rear, but you could also be running a 265 or a 255 as well. If I run a 285 in the back, I may not have the same kind of clearance as you to run a more aggressive offset. plus like I said, based on houstons picture above I'm content with that, if I'm not after install, a 5mm spacer ought to fix it then.

sounds good, well in that case I would say get a bigger spacer. I mean 5mm is a VERY small amount to the point of it not being noticeable
