19x8.5 or 19x9.5? What would be good offset?

I have been trying to come up with an answer by searching everywhere on this forum but haven't found a definite answer. I'm planning on getting Enkei's rp03s. But i don't know what offset to get. 22 or 42? I don't want to have to roll the fenders. And I would prefer not to have negative camber/toe that my tires are like /--\ if you know what I mean. And does that mean I should go with 19x8.5 all around or would staggered be okay. Any help would be appreciated.

No reason to fear rolling your fenders. Get it done by an experienced fender roller, and you shouldn't have any issues.

Coupe or Sedan?

How low are you?

Coupe or Sedan? Brembos or no? If you are a coupe and non brembo at least go for the +22. That is already going to be sunken in a lot, +42 would be absolutely horrid.

go with +22 and 19x9.5 all around and stagger the tires 245/35 front and 275/35 rear
if you go +42 youll regret it later

See this is getting more confusing. I read in another forum that if you have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 that u should at least get an offset of +40 or greater. What's up with that?

This is probably because they think it won't "fit" on your car. Ignore that... listen to people like Marcus who know the fitment on a Sedan very well.

But if you do wanna go with a +40 offset, you'll be tucked and not close to flush on your Sedan. But if you like the tucked look, then by all means, go for it.
