What the mods should do is go and edit his post for future members.

Bottom line is that if you don't know what your talking about or don't understand offsets, please don't post.

Wanting to keep my original 40th rims, I also went to 265/35/19 Front and 305/30/19 Rear. Hankook EVO2's for me.

Ok so I did go back and edit my posts to show the corrected offset, and it's not like I'm a retard drooling on myself, I made a simple oversight when figuring the end result but obviously I do know a little because my physical measurements are spot on or else I would've been the guy whose money went down the drain, so please, next time try just saying "Hey, could you go back and edit your posts so there's no confusion for future members ordering wheel sizes" instead of attacking my character and intelligence.
thanks, from a diplomatic pacifist car enthusiast.

I'm not attacking your character. I was making a general statement and wasn't intended strictly for you. Sorry you took it that way.
