I thought I was sure.. But again Very confused on wheel sizing

sinceday1 · 09-26-2011, 02:07 PM

I thought I was 100% certain about 19x9.5 et15 and 19x12 et0 but now I'm getting confused about the sizing, once again. ISS forged is giving me an option to reconfigure so I am even more so confused as to widths and offset i should go for. (my mechanic doesn't seem to be knowledgeable about wheel sizes.. maybe he's covering his *** just in case)

I would like your expert opinions. Here are a couple background info.

1. I DO like small poke. not hellaflush but sortaflush so to speak
2. I like negative camber, again sortaflush camber
3. I plan to run wider tires than stock, preferably 255 up front and 295~305 in the back
4. am pretty set on 19s
5. am lowered on swift springs

Please respond with some feedbacks! Here are a couple options I was thinking of.

19x10 et20 and 19x12 et0
19x9.5 et15 and 19x11 et0
19x10 et20 and 19x11 et0
or anything that would satisfy me. no homo.

Thanks

12 is gargantuan, even in the rear. You can make the car look good and run good on a 10, 10.5, or 11 -wide rear of appropriate offset and save yourself a bunch of tire/wheel money and unnecessary weight.
