19x9.5 +20 too much?

I just put on my aspec kit on Saturday and now I look at my wheels in disgust. I was wondering if 19x9.5 + 20 all the way around wrapped in 235/35/19 tires would be too wide. Lowered on tein s tech springs I think its like 1.2 and 1.3 inches. Do not want to roll fenders or any of that just want something that looks flush. Here are the wheels http://www.ebay.com/itm/AVANT-GARDE-...3448f2&vxp=mtr and wanted to wrap them in some general g-max as-03's. Thanks.

I have 18x9.5 +35 with 15 mm spacer, making the offset sit at 20.
Also currently lowered on S-Techs.
I have 245s on, I only rub when I hit a dip going above 60km/h.

So, it's a similar set-up, and with that you'll have quite a bit of poke.
Maybe about 3-6mm of poke?

Just checked out the wheels. Mine have a very similar design too. You should have similar fit as mine.
With a 235 you MIGHT be fine without rolling [I didn't roll my fenders].

If you don't roll your fenders you're going to rub.

would going with the xxr 530 in 18X8.75 + 20 be the better route, I just do not want to look like my wheels are too small considering I only have a mild drop compared to many of you

You're still going to rub. It's not the wheel size as in 18" or 19", it's the low offsets you're choosing.

If you want to run a wheel wider than 8.5" with an offset lower than +30, you need to roll your rear fenders.

Found the same wheels I wanted earlier except these ones are 19x8.5 + 35. This would be the most logical route without rolling fenders on the slight drop I have correct?

Yep, that will be perfect if you don't want to worry about rolling fenders. I would run a 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 with those wheels.

I'll be running a set very similar to these (VMR 710) within the next 2 months. 19x8.5 +35 front, and 19x9.5 +22 rear wrapped in 255/35/19 tires. I'm currently dropped on tein s.techs with my fenders rolled, so hopefully I won't have any issues.

The only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on these wheels is the fact that they only come in dolphin gray with that offset, in Matt black which I really wanted they come in 19x9.5 +20 or +25. Wondering if the more aggressive look is worth the rolling of my fenders and the Matt black over the dolphin gray. Not sure about dolphin grey on wdp

Tannn you'll be fine up front but you're going to rub in the rear.

I'm on TEIN S-Tech springs running 18x8.5 +25 with a 245 in the rear and I rubbed with rolled fenders. Your wheels are going to be in inch wider, 3mm more aggressive, and your tires are 10mm wider as well. You may want to rethink running a 255 in the rear.

OP, dolphin grey > black. I think black wheels take away from the design since you can't tell what they are from far away.

Hm, what tire size would you recommend? Only reason I would be running the 255 is because I'm buying the wheels used and it comes with the tires already mounted.

I just purchased my 19x9.5 +25 avanat garde M310's hyper silver through car id.com, for tires I bought hankook 225/35/19's, as far as fenders go I lowered my car at least 2" i really dont know how low I went, but my neighbor helped me roll them in like 5 minutes. rims and tires arent installed yet, but I dont think it'll be a problem.

FWIW, if you have a mild or no drop, an 18" wheel is going to look a lot better than a 19" wheel. The larger the wheel, the more ground clearance it's going to give you, which will add to the 4x4 effect.
