question about offset

i am looking on getting new wheels and i found some wheels for a great price but the only thing that is holding me back is the offset of +35mm front with that can you just buy 10mm spacer to fit correctly?

specs: 19' 8.5 +35 19' 9.5 +51

I believe you are going in the wrong direction. A low offset means the wheel will stick out further. Wouldn't a spacer just push it out even more?

Those offsets look fine. depending on the tire you might rub on the inside of the rear setup.

That's a pretty high offset in the rear, might rub with the 265.

Stock offsets are 47mm FR/58mm RR, so you should not have any rubbing issues with the rears. Fronts... maybe, especially depending on how low you have the coilovers set. Not a direct comparo, but I'm running 235/35/19 all around on +45mm w/o problems (stock ride height).

Now not trying to steal your thread but I was looking at a similar wheel setup 19x8.5 235/35/19 and 19x9.5 265/30/19 offset for the front 45 and for the rear either 45 or 48 will this rub?

I am running 235/35/19 with a 45mm offset in front (8.5) and 275/30/19 40mm offset in rear (10"). My car sits low when in M mode and the handling turned on and I dont rub at all. I test fit 285 and they just barely rubbed in the rear.

The 40 in the front is tight, but on my last C I ran 225/40/18 on a 35mm offset in front w no rub so you will be fine up front with 40 even on a 235. If you go 225 up front go 255 on back to match the stretch, 265 on back will be almost no stretch and wont match sidewall profile
