19" Wheels - What Offset Are You Running?

Hey guys - am replacing my wheels as they rub every once in a while with heavy lean, high speed and a significant depression in the driving surface.

I'm thinking of going to 50ET, but not all the way to the recommended 54ET (I believe I'm currently at 45).

Does anyone have any thoughts on or experience with 19" 50ET wheels?

Thanks!

Chris

265/30...seriously, it's only every once in a while and when I encounter heavy negative g's at the rear...especially on the outside tire when loaded in a turn..based on my eye-balling, it should only take 3 to 5 mills to clear the fender properly

what tires are you running?

it sounds like your suspension isn't stiff enough, compression is too fast...

Are you running a 10" rear? I was planning on going 9.5" 45Et rear with a 265/30/19, but if you are rubbing with a 9.5" then I wont do it.
