Another Rim Question
Ok, I'm thinking of getting some 19x8 rims. My question is, what offset to you guys recommend so that I don't rub with a comptech drop?

BEFORE SOMEONE YELLS AT YOU AND TELLS YOU TO CHECK THE ARCHIVES!!!
Judging from what others have said of their wheel specs, and what I've seen posted over and over and over again, is that with 19x8 you need an offset of +45 at least to aviod rubbing, but you may get rubbing depending on your tire size.
Cant tell ya what tires to get, but you should stay with offsets of +45 and up...but I'm no expert. Somebody will back me up

Now about the offset.
Higher than +45 now there needs to be a line that shouldn't be crossed. I see that too much offset will place too much unwanted strain on the suspension because the center of the wheel is not with in factor specs. Kinda like wheel spacers on cars. But speakign about spacers if rims are found with an offset way below +45 could wheel spacers be used to make up for the low offset?

wheel spacers make the offset even lower
....at least thats what I remember when trying to find 4x100 rims with a +20-+30 offset for my old e30 bimmer. All the rims available were for civics basically with offsets that were too high, so you would then get 5mm-10mm spacers as necessary to fit the wheels...not safe In my opinion.
