Hey man I answered your pm but didn't notice those are your offset options, based on that if you want a flush look I would go +30mm up front use a 255/40 tire and a 10-15mm spacer that will sit perfectly flush. The rear I would go either +25mm with a 275/35 for flush or the +38mm and use a 295/40 for that beefy look which should also sit very flush. Either way post pics when you get them installed

Ive always wanted some Rota Grids, but they didnt come in a good enough offset. These looks sexy though, and they resemblethe Rotas really well. Go for and post pics. wonder if they fit big brakes....

+25 on a 9.5 with a 275 will rub. 275/35/18 will also be a miniture ass tire. 275/40/18 would be more appropriate.

This is 19x9.5 +24 with a 275/40

Definitely agree with the lower... But looks great! What offset did you end up with?
