Who has Ruff Racing Wheels? These rims are fairly inexpensive, is the quality very good?
How well do these fit? I like the RR 278 and RR 279. They both have 35mm offsets up front and 45mm offsets in the rear. I want rims that flush evenly with the wheelwhell. I don't like that tucked look, I want a broad shouldered look like my Fikse.
I was thinking of the 19x8 and 19x9.5 package. If I did this, what size tires would I want to go with? I was thinking 245/40 in the front and 295/35 in the rear? Would that work well? I DO NOT want that rubberband tire look but I don't want it to look off-road either.

Hi I asked the same question before buying my ruff racing 18's because I also wanted my wheels to sit flush with the fender so if you want your rear to sit flush with the fender get 35mm all the way around even though I was told that the front will lean in just a tad bit but the rear will sit flush but with the 45mm they will sit in just a tad bit which might give you better clearance if lowered but I haven't installed mine yet but I saw pics with both combo's and personally I prefer the looks of the 35mm over the 45mm and they only sell them in 8.5 and 9.5 inches wide and even if you put 18's on your car it will look like a 4x4 only lowering will solve that problem but most people like 18's on f-bodies even though I personally like 19's but prefer 18's but lowered lowered 19's should look great hope this info helps out. Good luck.

Here are two links below to show the difference in rear fitment between 35mm and 45mm both cars have 18's, are lowered and have 35mm in front.
This is the link for the 35mm notice how the wheels sit flush with the fender in the rear.

This is the link for the 45mm notice how the wheels sit inside the finder a tad bit in the rear.
