AGs are decent wheels and their forged series are some of the best, the cast ones are heavy but that's the nature of the beast.***And yep, those Akebono calipers, especially in front are some of the most bloated calipers around, always have to confirm clearing those fatties w/ new wheel sets

I use this calculator:
https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee...et-Calculator#
I'm in the same boat, running a 20mm front/25mm rear spacer on the stock IPL wheels which are also the same offset as the Sport rims (43 front, 45 rear).
For me, it's finding the right offset which allows a good fitment up front and rear without spacers. And on a 9.5" wheel, that's about an offset of 30. I have a mild drop and there's room for more poke out front but NONE at the rear (IMO). A +30 will add 6mm more at the front and bring the rears inward 4mm. Now go get a metric ruler and see just how tiny 4mm is.
As for brake clearance, depends on the wheel/spoke design. Some will clear, some won't. I'd guess that most offsets around 30 or smaller would clear.
With that said, virtually no one makes a 19x9.5" with a 30mm offset unfortunately. At least not one that I like (or in the color I like). Your only real semi-affordable option is Forgestar which has been mentioned.
Most of the "lesser" wheels are all made in the same few factories in China. They have several wheel grades available now including forged aluminum if you want to pay for it. Sometimes they can produce just one set for you but most times one must order in a large batch, like minimum 60 wheels at a time sort of thing.

I think I've convinced myself the +25 is too much for the amount of drop I have (less than an inch) plus none of their wheel finishes are ultimately what I want. If the 15's just came in a normal black chrome-type finish, I'd be set on them. I've tried to get over the bronze tint they have and just can't do it. I'd love to drop some coin on a set of Advans or Volks, just not in the cards since I bought another Infiniti. I have TWO cars to mod now, LOL.

I'm lowered on S tech and at first when I put the 20/25mm spacers on I heard it rubbing but it was the inner lining of the rear and it everntuallly wore it self into it and it's 100% fine now .. but there's almost no room to even slide my finger into to so it's literally a perfect drop and I have camber arms on the rear but it's more for my tires don't wear improperly . 19x11 why have I been seeing some people with 11 looking like a 4x4 civic and others looking hella flush and nice

His doesn't even look lowered tbh ? The wheel gap is still there mines not like that on s tech .. ive been hearing +26 all square set up on a 19x9.5 will work well .... but I might be leaning toward a 19x10 in the back
