Thanx....that clears things a bit! At least the offset part...

Anyone that has BBS RS-GT 19's can tell me what are the impressions? Do they rub anywhere?

And what are the offsets for both 8,5x19 and 9,5x19 on bbs rs-gt?

offsets and tires sizes always matter weather its gonna rub or not. on a 19" package recomended size is 19x9 in front with a +24 offset and rear 19x10 with a +22 offset tire size should be 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. 20inch package is the same offset rim and tire size as a 20. any more rim and tire questions anybody has feel free to ask ive been in the wheel and tire buisness for about 10 years now i think i know my stuff. oh yeah i have 20's staggered on my car and its lowered with h&r sport spring and i havent rubbed yet, im using the same specs as what i recomended for u but in a 20" hope this helps u out.

Yeeees really helpfull. Thanx!!!

So 9 on the front and 10 on the back won't be too much even though the 172M has 8.5 and 9.5 f/b? If that's ok i'll start looking for those sizes with those offsets...

one final question: +24 for e.g. is the extra length that the new rim is going to stick out? It's in mm right? what happens if there is a -20 offset for eg?

Thanx!
