we all love concave look in the rear of a 19x10 at +15 or +22 offset

im wondering if we can run 19x10 at +25 in the front, all my wheels options have heavy concave in the rear but i want it in the front too. I searched but didnt find too much info. Any help or advice is appreciated

I think they'll rub on the inside of the wheel with the 10 inch-wide wheel and +25 offset. I'd not go wider than 9, but if you do go wider, try to balance it so that the center of the wheel is not too far out, yet the inside of the wheel does not rub. I'm guessing you'll have to basically try and see. But I've definitely seen people run 9in in front with very little rubbing.

Hold on, what offsets and widths are your back wheels now?

If 9.5inch Volks didn't rub on the inside without spacers, I'd guess you'll be ok with the 10inch wides with ET25 offset. But you'll have to get a widebody kit

BTW I LOVE those Volks on the E60 - if I could get away with running those offsets...

Your Volks were 19x8.5 +30 and 19x10.5 +25. 19x11 TE37s are only available for Porsche. Volk does not make a 19x9.5 +30, besides the fact they would have hit your struts with either the 12mm or 8mm spacers you said you were running.

I have 19x9.5 TE37s in front, Sport Package suspension. Offset is +12.
