Wheel offset question

I'm not the brightest when it comes to wheel offset and the like, and this may have already been covered, but I just have a quick question for you guys. I'm looking at a set of wheels, but to keep a 19" staggered setup on my coupe I'd have to run a 19x10 in the rear, and these wheels are offered in either a +40 or +55 offset. Would I be able to comfortably fit a +55 or even a +40 wheel? Comfortably meaning no rubbing without fender rolling, etc. Thanks in advance.

Why do you "have to" run a 19x10?
Neither of those offsets are good choices for rear wheels...try high 20s-mid 30s if you stick with that size

Because the wheels I'm looking to get are only offered in 19x8.5 and 19x10, I don't want bigger than 19s

With those offsets, you need to be more concerned with rubbing the rear shock than the fender. +40 is decent, but will still tuck a fair amount on a lowered car.

So you think a +40 could rub on the shock? I am lowered on Swift springs

19x10" +40 will not rub. I can't say a +50 is safe.

Yeah I figured I'd be pushing it with such a large offset, thanks

Look to a different set...judging by the sizing/offsets they weren't quality to begin with.

Buy my Work wheels I'm selling. You will be the coolest guy on the block. They fit without rubbing on a coupe and you get good rubber all around and the ability to rotate.

Sounds good! Just keep in mind, it's always cheaper to do it right once than cheap twice.

If you don't have at least 1500 set aside for wheels and tires, look for a different area to mod.
Exhaust/suspension/brakes...all make a huge difference in daily driving performance.
