What wheel offsets should i run?
I’m looking for the wheels to be flush the the fender/quarter panel but i’ve seen very varied results and numbers. i’m looking to go 19x9.5 in the front and 19x11 in the back but i’ve seen offsets range from factory to +30 on builds with the same wheel size (usually looking at 10.5 width in the back though). if anyone has any solid info or if yall can show me some of your builds with wheel sizes+offsets and tires that would be much appreciated!

With a 9.5" width front wheel, I would probably go with a +53 offset. With a 11" width rear wheel, something in the +55 to +57 range. For tires, a 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 will work well. On the rear, a 305 tire will fit well.
My BC Forged 18x9.5 fronts with +50 offsets and 265/35/18 tire poke a tiny amount, maybe 1/8". The rear 19x11's were made so I could flush-fit a 325/30/19 tire so I went with a +66 offset.
