Proper rim size and offset
I have searched and am trying to come up with a consensus. Looking at 19" rims and have seen various rim sizes and offsets. It appears that 19x8.5 is pretty common for the fronts, but what about offset?
For the rear, I have seen 19x9, 19x9.5 and 19x10. Which is best? And what is the best offset for the rear? Does that depend on rim size?
And should the offset be the same for front and rear?
What is stock offset and rim size for the 18's?

My guess is +40-45mm offset for the front (19x8.5) & +50-55mm offset for the rear (19x9.5 or 10). My wheels company didnt disclose the offset.
