19x11 +20

Stock suspension.

Forgestar FTW!
I love your choice of offset with those widths. I have the +24 and would do +20 if I ever ordered a set. I love your choice of tires too....that is what brand I am getting next.

I bought my car with the wheels though. With the 11" rears a 305/30 looks great...only downside is that its smaller than stock diameter. I wish I could get some 305/35R19.

I think +24 is pretty flush with stock height and +20 keeps you flush (at the top of the fender) with a drop. The only caveat would be if you run a front camber kit...that would push the top of a +24 on a 9" wheel to be flush with the fender while dropped.

I parked next to an AMG 6.3 yesterday that had some Gunmetal 19" F14s. It looked nice.
