Anyone with 9.5" +38 wheels?
I read the FAQ and it looks like this is the general limit for offsets on the front and rear of our cars, but I wanted to see some pictures and see how sunk in the wheels really look. I've found some wheels that I like but they are low offset and I wanted to see how it would look without having to run a spacer.

Correct, the lower numerically the offset is, the further out the wheel is. For example, some Corvette wheels have a 76mm offset and is damn-near impossible to fit on a fbody without some major hammering or tubbing the inner fenders. The popular fix is a 1" (25mm) spacer adapter - 76-25=51, the 'new' offset. Offset lowers numerically and wheel sticks out further...

carlos64030 and chaman - you both seem to have the same (amazing) wheels, and I LIKE them alot!
Who makes those wheels, and what is the name of that model ?

Chaman have you ever tried a spacer on the rear? I think it'd look nice and beefy with the rears sticking out an inch or so more.
Also what do decent tires run in 19s? I love those wheels but am afraid to pay for tires if I was to get them lol
