Right, do some research on what 19" rims you might want. If you go 20", then the race springs are a definite NO. If you wanna go 275 series on a 19" rim, then NO again. I have +26 offset on my rear wheels which are 19x10, and I would be rubbing if I had race springs. I love the slammed look too, but I don't want to be slamming into my tires everytime I hit a bump.

guy at the wheel shop told me he can work 275 for me without rubbing on my setup....

He said if we have any problems i can roll your fenders and work it out with some spacers

THe wheels i want are 19 8.5 in front and 9.5 in rear.

As for offset i dont really know....

H&R race springs will be brutal on a daily driver over all but the smoothest of road surfaces. I'd highly recommend the H&R Sports. Still a very nice upgrade over stock, but FAR more practical for daily use. Bilstein Sport shocks with these are a great combo.

You can do 275s, but with race springs it all depends on your offsets. You won't be able to go too aggressive.

Like others said there's many many factors you must take into consideration.

Don't forget, some tire manufacturers have a more slanted sidewall. For example, Toyo tires have less chance of rubbing due to the slanted sidewall...but tires like BFG have a thicker sidewall which could cause rubbing.

I also have this question.....

Please could I get some help....1)Is there a difference when adding springs and shocks (suggestions on both of those by the way) to the basic "non-sport" package or the "sport" package? I assume no, cus you would be replacing both shock and springs (I also assume shocks are necessary to get a low, agressive look yet similar to stock feel), but none the less I dont know? 2) Any suggestions on wheels and the lowering to go with them. I am interested in 20's yet with a nice low stance (again hopefully stock feel), I think 19's are more feasable! 3) Just a thank you for any and all suggestions!!!

19x20 20mm offset? that shit will rub badly maybe even with the fender rolled. Not recommended...

I ran 275/35 19"x9.5" with 20mm, and it rubbed crazy and my car got non-sport. That's why I gave these 2 wheels away and replaced with 39mm.

Diesel has Falken tires and they are really narrow even if they say 275/30, if he had a "normal" 275, he would maybe rub...
