Posted again to make sure it wasn't missed!
OFFSET = LIFE
YES - it's that important.
Lucky i'm in a good mood today
Offset The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.

19x8 is too conservative in my opinion - i say shoot for 19x9.5 +42 w/a fender roll and some camber work.

The green paint really smacks you in the face. I see you have Veilside sides. Are you going with the complete kit? In addition one of the pics shows the OE spoiler holes on the trunk. Hopefully you are going with the MS spoiler or an aftermarket spoiler that uses the holes and not the OE spoiler.

With that paint job i can only imagine ALL black wheels (no polished lips), at least 9-9.5 wide with an aggressive offset working well. I just dont think anything "blingy" would look good, SBC included. Interested to see the final result though, i think it has the potential to look pretty damn cool....but of course it has the same potential to look like ****. All comes down to wheel/tire combo and lets hope he go's with something that requires a fender roll.
