Personally, I love the Rays 19x10 rims and my last car was a C6 Vette with 19x10's on the back and I had 305/30/19 Bridgestone RE070a's on it and they looked perfect. I'm badly wanting 305/30/19's on those Rays Wheels!

reverse your thinking lower means further out higher means further in:

for Example
Low Offset:
...[CAR]...
(-)____(-)

High Offset:
[CAR]
(-) (-)
