Question Which offset size should I go with for 19" 245/19

Hey guys... Not a tire expert here but which offset should I go with 45 or 38???
Wheel size is 19" 245 (8.5) wide all around... I have a AT 06 and looking to upgrade big brakes in the future...
Also if it helps tires size are prob. 245/35/19

This is the link of the design I'm looking for (Stern ST1)

There's a thread somewhere on here that goes into great detail about this...check around and you'll find it.

I have 245/35/19's with a 42 offset. When I dropped it too far it rubbed a lot and the alignment and camber where way off. Now that I have raised it a little, it doesn't rub, but my camber is still off. I already have a good wear spot on the inside of the tires. I am going to raise it another 1/2''. I will still be 1 to 2 fingers all the way around.

Those wheels you picked out look sweat!! Don't know if the offset will work...

Good luck

Yeah, the nice thing about TIEN Coilovers is the unlimited adjustment capability. So, you can dial them in just right...it has been a trial and error process.

Here's a thread with a bunch of photo's and details on wheels size and offset. Notice MOST aren't lowered much, therefore they don't rub. If you don't go any lower than a 2 finger gap, your alignment should be O.K. and you shouldn't rub.

I think im going to just go with the offset of 38mm.

Unless some one has a comment or when thru the same sititution...
