whats the perfect offset

I am looking at doing a 19x8 or 8.5 wheel but probably not staggered. What is the perfect offset to get a flush look for the front and rear. I am lowered on tein s techs and I do not want to have to roll the fenders if I don't have to

This is 19 x 8.5 and a 35 offset.

Is that front and rear at 35. I believe I would like the tears out a tad further, do you have any other shots of the front

Both 35 .. with this wheel I just clear the rear fender on the way down.

Other wheels might be different.

Here's a couple of pics of mine. 19x8.5ET38 fronts and 19x9.5ET38 Rears still at stock height for now till I decide on coils and my A-spec body kit. Rims to edge of my sidewalls for the rear is pretty much flush looking directly from the top or rear.

Edit: forgot to add the pics hahhahaha

Hey everyone I'm new to the game was just wondering if XXR 521 17x7 with an offset of +38 would rub or have anything wrong? Or even the 18x8.5 with a +40 offset. I have a 2005 Base Acura TL. Thank you for your input!!

I'd have to say it depends on what you're looking for.. If you ask me, I'd say about 20-25 offset

Won't get a flush look without going with a low offset and rolling/shaving fenders..

Well, honestly I can't really say much for the 3rd gen side.. But I'm sure if you just search around here for 19x8 19x8.5 you'd find what you're looking for... Everyone is gonna say something different cause everyone has different point of view.. A lot of people hate the "flush" look
