Default 19x11......what offset fits best

i want to put some 19x11's on the rear and i know thats really wide and that with a 325-335 tire i will have to do some beating and rolling, but what offset would give me the best initial fit (aka least amount of beating) i have found em in +64mm and +79mm offset

Between 45 and 50 mm . . . anything else needs a spacer . .

take the wheel and tire off, lay it shiny side down, lay a straight edge across the back of the wheel(not the tire), the straight edge must be on the lips of the rim. Then measure the distance from the mounting surface to the straight edge. this is your backspacing. Convert ur BS to mm by multiplying by 25.4. when you know your BS then find centerline of your wheel by using this formula, wheel width +1 divided by 2, example....18x10 wheel...10+1=11...11/2 =5.5'' then convert to mm...5.5x25.4=139.7. subtract your wheel centerline from your BS reading this will give you offset. if your BS is more than your wheel centerline then you have a positive offset, if its less then its negative offset.

here is the link to the sticky that explains it well...... for me typing all this out
