Would you consider stock flush or sunk in? Example, would a set of 20 8.5/9.5 38mm wheels sit more flush or close to a stock wheel setup (kind of sunk in a bit)? no spacers.
My worries were purchasing a set of wheels that may stick out too far then not being able to adjust. AAh, the joys of being a newb!

I wanted a more flush look for it because it looked funny to me.
I added 25mm spacers on all four corners to bring my offset down to 13mm.
Now it looks better.
I would still like a little less offset, maybe another 10mm but I don't feel like paying for new spacers.
Oh, but on the rear I had to roll the fenders just a little to fit 275/35/19's on it. If I didn't want to roll the fenders I could have run a 255/35/19 on the rear but the tire would be rounded off more. I like the low and wide look of the 275's

Agreed, I always can't stand the way some people will put on wheels and it looks like the car will roll over on a sharp turn cause the wheels are so far under the car.
For example: Not enough positive offset. Looks cheesy.
Funny thing is, he thinks he's cool in his Purple Widebody Supra. If you go wide body, you have to have the wide tires to fill it out.

Woooah! Thats not what I meant! That looks awful. What offset would produce that look?

That's a Supra and he added a Widebody kit and them left, probably, his stock size 35mm offset wheels on when he should have mounted a MUCH wider wheel cobination with a low offset to fit them into the fenders.
No telling exactly what his offset is without measuring BUT it's definately a good example of bad offset choice

I have 19x8 and 19x9.5 with a 38mm offset on them. They came with the car when I bought it. They used to sit in like this.

Once again, sorry to those who hate Ebay.
These have been great for over 35k miles this past year. Never have had any issues with them. They wer $69/ pair on Ebay.
I still check the lugs every now and then to make sure they are tight but they have never moved and they came with a Hubcentric ring as well.
Here is my fender before I rolled it a little in the rear. The fronts fit perfectly.

Maybe one day I will switch out wheels if the opportunity comes up.
My wheels are ok, but I really want something around 10"-10.5" wide to fill the fender inside and out. But those are expensive as you know. :-)
Thanks for the compliment. Good luck with the wheels, post a pic when you get them.
