Wheel Widths+Offsets VS Scrub Radius and Response
 

I am completely new to buying aftermarket rims (wheels, whatever) and tires. I will buy ohlin coilovers and drop the car just enough to get rid of the wheel gap. I will also run stock camber. I do not want stretched tires or any kind of this newfangled nonsense that kids these days are doing. I also do not want to run spacers. I just want my new wheels to sit flush and look good. The VFS1s in 19s (smallest they go) are available in three sizes:

8.5 +32
9.5 +28
10 +48

From what I understand with all this complicatedness, the 9.5 is right out and the 10 is the best fit. I have also gathered that a 265/30 or 275/30 is the best wheel choice. Im thinking 275s sidewall would be more perpandicular to the rim than the 265s.

What are your opinions on a lightly lowered, stock camber, 19X10 +48 with a 275/30?

I do not track the car and these rims are the lightest Vossen makes. I have asked a few members on here their thoughts but id like more input so I dont make a $3k+ mistake, thanks

Just found a nice site that allows for side by comparison of 2 different wheel setups. 1 is stock and 2 are the vossens

With the reading I have been doing, by only changing wheel offset/widths, the scrub radius is changed. Is this what you would call the factor that determines the way the car handles differently? Is a positive srub of 7mm alot or no? I just dont want my car to feel all different.You
