? about offset

I'm looking to purchase LE37T's 19" 8.5/9.5. I plan on going +22 in the front and possibly +12 in the back. Would the +12 look good in the back? I'm guessing the spokes would be more pointed in than the fronts with a little more lip. Am I right?

+12 in the back will likely rub and you will have to roll the fender.

+12 is kinda low... but if you manage to pull it off it should look solid...

damn. Sounds a bit risky. What about +34 for the rears? What kind of look would I get? Thanks for your input.

+34 would be a bit more tucked in than stock and may not clear Brembos. Your ideal offsets should be low 20s to 30.

I have non-brembos. Maybe I should just stick with +22 all around?

I have 18x9.5 +15 offset in the back which is already really agressive. With a 275/40-18 tire, I had to dremel my fender. I happened to pick a tire that had a section width that was about 0.2" wider than normal, which made it rub right into the fender.

With a +12 offset I believe you're going to have to roll the fenders for sure. Additionally, it will look like the wheel is stuck out too much.

I think +22 all around should be okay. You may want to go with a tad higher offset on the front, if possible. Maybe +25 or +30 so that it doesn't look like the front is sticking out farther than the back.

+22 on all corners will be fine.
