What offsets do you guys have?

I have a 2004 5AT coupe and i plan on getting some rims for my car. I plan on getting 19" 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the back but im not too sure what offsets to get. I think this is important too right? I've been reading that if you don't calculate it right you might mess up the gear ratios and your car might run a little slower. I'm not too sure. so how do you guys caculate the offset and what do you guys recommend for me? HELP!

IMO.... If you want a safe offset go mid-to-high 20's. Slight aggressive offset low-to-mid 20's ( 22-25et). fairly aggressive high teens (17-20et ), however depending on wheel design , it may require fender rolling. Some have fitted 12-15et offset, just depends on wheel design.

There are different offsets for different rims. If you find out what kind of rims you want in specific, we can help you more.

Those Roja's you posted should work, so you should'nt have any fender rubbing issues. 25mm front and 32mm rears is just fine, even if you were to put springs or coilovers, it should clear.
