Hi, so i need some enlightenment...

Im deciding on a set of wheels mainly looking towards 19"s

whats the maximum width and offset can i run on 19s?? for front and back??

stock spring/shocks

would 19x9 +36 19x10 +42 work?

thanks@@

19x8.5 +35 front & 19x9.5 +35 rear, maximum recommended width and offset, as long as you're on stock springs & shocks, or a mild drop like Tanabe NF210, Eibach Pro-Kit, or TRD springs. Personally I'd keep it at +40 offset front & rear for those wheel widths, but I know some people have pushed 'em out to +35 without being much past the edge of the fenders.

I know somebody who put on 19x9.5 +45 rears, and he had to add spacers because they hit the brakes and didn't clear. 19x10 +42 definitely won't work.

Are you looking at any wheels in particular?

Hey Silverx here's a link to my post. Im on 18x8.5 +35 offset all around, the back can be pushed out a little more with some spacers. The front wheels are as far as i would go to make sure u dont rub. http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=229429&highlight=
oh and im on df210 now and I dont rub (maybe cause of my low low profile tires :rofl: )
Just in case u decide to go with smaller wheels. I have also seen some pics on this site of an xb2 with some wide wheels with a low offset, just not 19...... I think 16 or 17. I think if we had some camber options we could run way lower offset 19" or 20" wheels". :lalala:

{"Kregghill" This is the setup I went with...

19-8.5 +35 Offset Front w/235-35-19 General Exclaim
19-9.5 +45 Offset Rear w/265-30-19 General Exclaim (might need a 3-5mm spacer)????? }

Marshall, from that thread you posted the link for:
islandxb2 wrote: Ok so I just ordered my wheels, 20 x 8.5 with a +38 and 20 x 9.5 with a +38. The wheels are 5Zigen Gravis1 in silver.
Did he end up changing offsets?

I know somebody who put on 9.5 wide +45 offset on the rears, and they hit the brake calipers. He added 5mm spacers to clear.

nope he stayed with those offests.. he just had mild fender rub in the rear so we had to roll the fenders flat..

What wheels did you order?

225/35-19 fronts and 245/35-19 rears should be perfect with no rubbing, as long as you don't plan on a heavy drop. If you want a heavy drop, go down to 215/35 tires on the front.

There is a wide variety of tire choices for these sizes, but I am a big fan of Falken FK452's for wet & dry traction, handling, wear, and ride quality at a reasonable price.
