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.

I don't have pics of mine yet since they are being machined at the moment, but I'm going with Forgestar F14s in 18x9.5 with normal concave spoke design and an offset of +37mm. I'll let you know how it goes when they get here in May.

These pics shows how the offset looks.

And if the offset was a lower numerical number, it would stick out further, correct?

Wondering the same thing. The offsets given, confuse me personally. 38 to 56 for a 9.5 so a 56 would be sunk in more?

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...

Any pic of the rears? The wheels I found come in +35, or +46 so I'm debating on which to buy and then having to run spacers.

Also, possible to get a side shot. I.E. from the front of the car looking down the side, so see how far in or out the wheels are.

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
