Default 19" wheels what offsets/widths

Getting some 19" iforged wheels for a 99 trans am. Will a 19x11 fit in the rear? 19x10.5? Car currently has 18x10.5 on it with rolled fender lips. Also anyone know of a half way decent drag radial maybe a 305 or a 315 for a 19 inch wheel. Also do 19x9 wheels fit up front without modification?

Go with 19 x 10.5 with a +44 to +50 offset.
19 x 9s with a +38 to +56 offset will fit fine, for tires use a 275/30/19s.


Also, IMO you're going the wrong direction in wheel size for drag tires.

if you're getting 19s, buy some track wheels so you can have a sidewall. i also don't know of any drag radial that large, m&h has a 345 18" one, but no 19

Not to but i have a similar question thats similar. I wanna go with a set of 19 x 9.5's. They come in a few different offsets, the highest is a 45mm and then theres a 35mm. Judging by the sticky, I need a 45mm. But how would they sit in the fenders compared to the 35's? Which is the better offset to go with?

99 WS6. I plan on going with a 275/35/19. Again, the offsets are for a 19 x 9.5 in a 35mm or 45 mm offset....

Run the 45 offset, the 35mm will cause the tire to hit the fender. With the 45mm offset, the lip of the wheel will sit within 1/4" of flush with the fender, not counting the tire).

Perfect. Thank you for the reply. I really want them to sit as perfect as can be. I've seen some disasters out there. Wheel either sits too far out, or too far in.
