Wheel size options for v8 Vantage

I'm looking into purchasing some wheels for my Vantage. I understand wheel offset but Iâ€™m looking for anyone who is running 19x8.5 et35 front and 19x9.5 et 20 in the rear. Any issues with rubbing or tires sticking out past the fenders?

Just stick a ruler on your tire at max bulge. 15mm at the front and 42mm at the rear. Take a photo from directly above. See if it extends past your fender.

Thanks. I looked at it again and see what youâ€™re talking about. I should be able to get away with a 40 offset right?

There are a ton of threads covering this topic. Just google it and look through the various threads on 6-speed and you will find it. I have a DB9 so cannot help, but I know due to my research there are a ton of threads covering it.
