Lightbulb Please help with your opinion!!!

I ordered a set of 19" gfg wheels. 8.5" front and 10" for the rear. I also have a set of 275/30 and 235/35 toyo proxy t1s tires to install when the rims come in. I have about 5 days to determine the offset i want but have not decided on a final fitment.

If any one has an opinion or any experience, please feel free to share it with me.

I have a 93 with JIC coil overs. The fenders are all stock. I want the right offset that will not rub the fender lips when lowered.

I would consider rolling the lips but would not want to count on that, rather than use it as a back up plan if the offset is not perfect.

What would be the perfect offset for the 8.5 and 10" wide rims with my setup????

Are the wheels custom in the sense that you can specify any offset you want (e.g. -100 to +100 in 1mm increments), or do you have a few different offsets from which to choose (e.g. +38 or +44). Knowing that would make it much easier for us to help.

they are a custom fit 3 piece wheel. I can choose my offset but with some limmitations. IE, maybe 30,34,36,etc. not in increments of 1mm.

+40-50mm for both front and rear. What choices do you have in that range?

I would have to check. I am waiting for them to get back with me on a recomendation and available offsets. I am getting the centers custom made to fit my brembo brake kit!

I guess i was just looking for the best possible offest in both 8.5" front and 10" rear, (with no limits) and then use those recommendations and see what is available!
