And Incurve's are a cast mono block and Forgeline's are a completely customizable forged three-piece.

A wheel like this needs huge calipers and rotors with all that open space. Your average X can't run these without looking silly.. Goes for a lot of other wheels as well aesthetically.

rm2342: The OEM BBK filled my 19" MD3P's real well. The brakes filling the wheel is relative to the wheel size.

The Forgeline SC3C; Cars with this wheel.



Or if you prefer the step lip, SC3C-SL; Cars with this wheel.

Added the 5mm spacers. Tried adding 2-5mm spacers on one wheel to net a +30 but I didn't want to lower the car on the ground as there wasn't enough threads to secure the lugnuts.

So the specs:
Before: 245/40-19x9.5 +40

After: 245/40-19x9.5 +35

Now I haven't drove the car with the spacers. I did turn the wheels right/left and inspected the inner wheelwell. Saw no issues of tires touching anything. Also even with the Swift springs I don't foresee any fender issues. I do want to run a 255/40 though. The 245's just look stretched on the 9.5" wide wheel. I'm curious if a 9.0 would've avoided the tire stretch. Lastly, need a front camber kit. I can see the front wheels cambered and I hate that. I much rather have a squared alignment. Gonna follow up with SPL on front camber arms.

So what have I learned.... I think the following is a perfect set-up for the rwd sedan;
Front: 255/40-19x9.5 +35 (possibly a 245/40-19x9.0 +35)
Rear: 285/35-19x10.5 +45

+35 for front looks good to me , I have the same offset for front but on 19x8.5.

If someone can help me, I got 19x9.5 +30 (all around) and I am looking to go pretty low, but having a hard time about the wheels to put on, was thinking 245/35 all around, how does that sounds.

Might be pretty tight in the front, rears will be fine. I've got 245s on 8.5" +40 in the front and there's about 8-10mm from hitting the innermost fender edge. I'm dropped to zero gap. With your 9.5 +30 you'll be 10mm further out w/ the offset and another 12mm with the 1" wider rim, so 22mm out from where I am.
Here's a few pics for reference
