Question 19" wheels width question?

Can anyone with 19" provide their brand/Model of the wheels with the offset and width on those wheels? Thanks...

Seem like 19x8.5" F and 19x11.5" R is the most common 19" configuration. With tires size 235/35 ZR19 and 315/25 ZR19
Anyone try runs 19x9" rear and 19x12"Front, maybe tires is another issue here..

Toffe...

You mean 19x9 front and 19x12 rear, right? You could run that, but people at HRE told me that 315/25 would really be stretching it on the 12" wheel.

Per you offset (and tire) question...(on 8.5 & 11 as mentioned by others).........ballpark limet would be about 42mm front, 30mm rear........if you use a 235/35..315/25 tire that has a wide tread (like Conti) you should be aware that with a very low suspension, and/or unstiffened suspension, you may need to prep fenders.....ways around this (only if fender prep bothers you) would be to adjust height up (adjustable coil-overs helpful there) or go w/a slightly higher offset.
Should say that 'offset' is a personal thing....may want to solicit pics & check this & other bds.... many threads in archieves

Good luck.

Thanks Guys,

With 19¡¨ I think is safer to get 19x8.5¡¨ and 19x11¡¦ or 11.5¡¨ the most instead of 12¡¨ rear. I like to stay with 18" for better tires choice for street and track and on the other hands also like the look of the 19"
These LeMans brakes are giving me headace with clearance issue on the 18" with limited choice of wheels in the market. Thanks for everyone input tho.
