Coupe needs to be at least 9.5 front and 10.5 rear.

Hey, I am getting 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear. So what do you guys think should be my off set since I have 25mm spacers coming in for the front and 31mm for the rear???

If you can choose which offsets you want, why would you run spacers in the first place?

I wouldn't say need. Offset is far more important than width.

I'd rather see 10" -10 than 10.5 +25

Just keep in mind, your car has big *** fenders. Use em.

I got the spacer today . They're for my stock wheels until I get new ones. Wouldn't the aftermarket wheels look good with the spacers, or is that too much??

Honestly, if you can choose the offsets that you want for your wheels then I would pick the offsets that I want without having to run spacers. What you're doing is backwards.

Most people will buy their wheels at the offsets they originally wanted first but then later down the road will change their minds and want a lower offset. Hence therefore, they will buy spacers to be able to achieve that offset. Buy the wheel first and if you decide you want something more aggressive, then throw on the spacer.

In your case, it is like you bought the steering wheel and you're now building the car around it.

Cool, I get it. Well I've never gotten aftermarket wheels before so I'm new to this offset thing. I want to get 19x9.5 (front) & 19x10.5 (rear), what would be the best offset? I have brembos and I want the deepest lip possible - meaning I want the wheel to just about clear the brakes.

Lips depends on a lot more than offset.

What's your budget...

^^ Don't forget this all depends on how flush you want to go.

There isn't a "best" offset out there. It is what you feel comfortable at. Some people think -8 is the best offset and others believe +10 is the best offset. This depends on you and your budget, like he said above.

If you budget is high, you can get ANY look you want.

Im sorry guys, im trying to read and find out what offset is exactly. 4DGS: my budget isn't really set : I got a quote on some wheels for the sizes I want($2600), he didn't say anything about price change between offset but if it changes the price, I don't want to pay more than $3000. Let me post a pic to show you what would look good. These are the same wheels I will be getting but no brembos on his car, I have brembos.

^^^.. Oh man.. now im really considering selling my T1s now..alot of ppl have/want these..smh..

@ LaserRedg35vs , I have the same rims you posted above.. if your interested hit me up... 19 inch Work T1s reverse lip Lightning silver

Specs :
19x9.5 +23mm front ( 3.5" Lip)

19x11.0 +15mm rear ( 4.75" Lip)

Also i no my front offset are kinda weak .. so if i add atleast a 10mm spacer would that bring it flush and clear BBK when i put them on?
