What do you guys use to clean your wheels? I have some work vs-ms wheels with a polished lip/gunmetal face and I want to clean them without scratching/messing them up. All advice and feedback is greatly appreciated. Just want to pamper them the same way I do to my car with washing and waxing lol thanks in advance!

I have a 05 sedan and I was about to purchase 19x9.5 +42 with a 245/40/19 tire for the front/rear but was told that the fronts may not fit and possibly hit the control arm. Can someone tell me if I would be OK? Would adding a spacer fix it. Not sure if I would still be tucked or more out, sorry.
If it's not ideal than I plan to go
F:19x8.5 +38 | 225/40/19
R:19x9.5 +42 | 245/40/19
Unfortunately the rims I want does not offer other offsets. I plan to roll fender if I need to. Thanks.

hard to tell depends on the drop and offset of the wheel. aggressive offsets and/or drops will need camber adjustment to get it close to stock spec. post drop and offset to get a better idea.

New arms, those are for small adjustments they don't really correct heavy drops.
19x9 +30 or more
19x9.5 +36ishish
19x8.5 +20ish
19x10 +43ish
Depends on the width, what wheels are you looking at?
245/35 and 275/30 (or 265/30)
SPL is the only real suggestion. Megans are cheap but ONLY add negative camber, so keep that in mind in you decide to pick those up. (SPLs are $500 megans are like $250)
Invisible glass or any quick detailer spray (might be called a spray wax depending on the brand)
Adding a spacer will definitely fix it. and you'll have room for one up to about a 15mm spacer. You should be fine with that set up.
The second set up also works but again, since they are smaller you'll want a spacer just to make them look right.
You also have room for a larger tire out back if you wanted.

Here's the drop because honestly, I don't know how low I am:
Setup is Megan Coils and Megan rear arms. I do not have arms in the front, however the front area chassis is slotted up front so the camber can be adjusted from the bottom of the wheel vs. the top. Seems like by bringing the camber in from the lower side threw my offsets off by a few mm. For example, my +5 in the front sits like a +8-10mm.
Camber is set close to spec. Rear is around -1.8~-1.9.
My rears fenders are rolled flat. Front fenders aren't rolled, but the thicker tires up front brought my fenders out just a wee bit.
Wheels are 20x9.5/10.5 +5 all around with Yoko S Drives. I know the Yoko's have a little thicker side wall.
New setup:
20x9.5 -12 and 20x11.5 +1
Tires are gonna have a little better stretch, so I'll either run Toyo's or Falkens. 225/35 and 255/35 or 265/30. What do you guys think as far as camber settings and would I need a fender pull on front or back or both?

They sometimes smack the...top of the fender/up inside the fender actually. Did that make sense? lol sorry. Mine occasionally smack on bumps. :/
Don't run Falkens. Front tire size is perfect. The rear is really up to you, the 265/30 will stretch like a 245/35. You could also run a 275/30 or 255/35, they're nearly identical. I'd go with the first option myself. Pull isn't absolutely necessary, but you're looking at -4* camber front and rear with no other fender work. I'd get a mild pull, about 10mm or so, front and rear, so you can be under -3*. But it's really up to you how much camber you want/willing to run.
Yea. No prob. 11.5s have enough clearance too.
