Go Big!?! Or just go home?

Hey guys need some suggestions from my fellow aziners. I'm in the process of rebuilding my racing hart c2 three piece rim. they are currently 19x7.5 +50. Should I play safe and go 19x9.5 +22 all around or go big and do 19x10 +16 front and 19x10.5 +10 rear. I'm on function and form with a mild to low drop and already have rolled and slight pulled my fenders. I can play safe with 9.5 but what is needed for the 2nd option

Play it safe if you daily drive your car I would say. Wouldn't that wide option poke like crazy and need tons of camber?

Unless you want an extreme sideways cambered tire look, do option 1. Option 2 is going to be a pain in the ass to make fit right and IMO will look horrible. 9.5" +22 is definitely the way to go here.

Fitment would imply they actually "fit" in the fenders...which those do not.

Even if he is, these specs: 19x10 +16 front and 19x10.5 +10 rear, are still going to look like hell and getting them to fit is another story is going to be a big hassle.

Would 19x8 40+ with 245/35/19 fit without fender roll? I have a 1.2 drop.

I hope you know that guy had a ton of fender work in the rear for his tire to sit like that without a ton of negative camber.

If you put a 19x10 +16 in the rear with just a roll and pull, you will still be running a good amount of negative camber to make it fit. Unless you're into that kind of look I or are going to do a lot of fender work, I would pick a higher offset.

What Chip said. Don't take that link as anything but an extreme and dedicated endeavor. If a stance nation feature car is what you really want, go nuts and get em. If you want to actually be able to drive your car regularly, I would say find something else. I would never want to actually drive that car you linked on anything but the most perfect of roads.
