i am looking at some wheels, going for the concave/flush look.
i know the wheel i am going to get i just cannot decide which size to purchase here is what i am thinking...

19x9.5 +42 front and rear with 245's

or

19x8.5 +22 front with 225's, rear 19x9.5 +22 with 235's

or 19x8.5 +22 front and 19x9.5 +42 rear, will the front be more concaved than the rear?

fitment experts please help i am trying to be as low as possible, and i do plan on rolling fenders

I would do 19x8.5 +22 front with 225's, rear 19x9.5 +22 with 235's.
9.5 +22 in the rear is perfectly flush with the fender if rolled.
8.5 +22 in the front is almost flush but is the most aggressive out of all.

Here are pics of my 19x8.5 +22 and 19x9.5 +22 set up, to help you visualize it. I have rolled rear fenders.
The only difference is I have 215/35-19's up front and 225/35-19s in the rear because eventually I slammed my car.





I would say the fronts have about 5mm to be flush but the rear is on point.

What wheels are you looking at?

thanks for the response, i had looked at your + 22 before, running a 215 just seems a little to small of a tire for me, i like driving spiritedly. what if i did 19x9.5 +42 front with a 225 and did 19x9.5 +22 rear 225, so i could rotate tires?
did you roll your fronts? could i fit a 225 up front with the +22 if i rolled the front?

do u have any pics from further away?

i plan on running rp03's

19x9.5 +42 and 19x9.5 +22 is great as well. Although the front and rear difference is a whopping 20mm, it'll still look great and with a 9.5 +42 and 9.5 +22 you'll get concavity in both the front and the rear.

My fronts weren't rolled or anything. You can fit a 225/35-19 up front without rolling the front fender and be perfectly fine. Look at the last picture, I still have a lot of room in terms of wider tires.

would the 9.5 +42 be more concave than the 8.5 +22?

Wide wheels with low offset = concave

I knew you were looking at RP03s as soon as I saw the specs... I looked at them as well.

I would do 9.5" +42 all around with 235s and space them out with a 5mm spacer all around. But then again I do not have my fenders rolled so i'm not able to get as flush as possible.

As far as concavity goes, the 9.5 will be more concave than any of the 8.5 at any offset. 9.5 +22 will obviously be more concave than +42.

Look up wrxyboy's thread in the Photograph gallery. The other car in the pics is running RP03s with some aggressive specs (can't remember specs ATM but I posted them in the thread).

ok so i am going to do the 9.5 +42 front and 9.5+22 rear, but i cannot decide on tires, 225? 235? i have never rolled fenders before, so i am trying to do as little work as possible, but i also want the biggest tire i can fit does anybody have pics of a 9.5 on the front with either of these sizes?

just roll the fenders! watch some how-to's on youtube, rent the roller, get a heat gun, make sure to take your time rolling, and keep the fenders hot. will take you all of 3 hours i bet. that way you can run your large tire!
