Question 19 x 8.5" in the front with +30 offset...rub?

Will a 19 x 8.5" wide rim with +30 offset rub in the front if the car isnt lowered? It's so tough finding something nice to fit 6mt.

It should be ok. I am running 19x8.5 with 35mm and lowered 2.25inches. The tires and wheels are tucked under the fender. So I would say it should fit without rubbing. However, if you do decide to lower the TL in future say more than 2inches then you might have rubbing issues. However, I would try to stick with 35mm offset if you can.

then you should be fine. Revolution has the 30 mm offset (which i will soon have btw ) and he is dumped and only rubs in certain situations. Lots of people in the car, high driveway, etc.

If you go with 235/35 R19 tires, like ed99, you MIGHT not rub under normal conditions. If you go with 245/35, I'm pretty sure you'll rub.

If it were me, I wouldn't push it beyond 35 offset for 19x8.5 wheels.
