i think you would want to be in the +48,+50 range.

i dont have a drop right now but i will likely get one. so u dont think 19x8 +45 would work, a lot of people said that it should be ok. does anyone know what wheels come in an offset higher than 45 because im having a hard time finding any.

The higher the offset the better. I am running 19X8 with a +42 offset with a 225/35/19 tire and so far i havent rubbed once.

And ive had 2 big ass fools in the back seat. However, i do plan to lower the car and i may have to mod the fenders. I juz couldnt resist these rims tho. But like i said, the higher the offset the better.

yeah, you prolly wont rub with 225/35/19 too much, but a bigger tiresize will increse the possibility of rubbing. 45 is borderline.

Depends on how low you want to go. I had that setup with Comptech springs and was fine. I know some other people on here were a bit lower than Comptech springs and had no problems, but I'm not sure how low.

BTW, I love Vida.

How many inches is a comtech drop? are comptech springs going to be a smooth ride or will it be bumpy?

Not sure off the top of my head, but I think it's only 1.5" up front and 1.25" out back or somewhere in that area. And Comptechs give you a smooth ride, just a bit stiffer than stock.
