Rear wheel size/ Tire size help

[JLTH2183]

Does anyone make a 19x11 replica pp1 wheel? Looks like American muscles sells a replica pp1 wheel in 19 x10. I want more traction than my current stock set up with 275s. Instead of buying 4 new wheels it would be more cost effective to buy 2 matching rear wheels and install some 305s. I currently have traction issues with mp4s and was thinking about DR's but for a daily I'm not sure until I go boosted. I have always run mpss and now mp4s and I want wider tires in the back to help with traction. Currently 422whp and I have MT82 with 3.73s I can't run 3.73s when boosted so I will most likely change rear end to 3.55 but until then, what do you all recommend I go with? Would a squared setup be better than staggered for the street?
If I go with aftermarket wheels with wider tires all around, what offset is best to be flush with the fenders and quarter panels without running spacers or rubbing?

No PP1 replicas in that size.

An aftermarket 11" wheel needs somewhere around 50-55 offset to avoid poke and inner fender rubbing.

Would 50-55mm offset be just for the rears? What about the fronts?

11s up front can be the same 50-55 offset but you will need to install extended studs and a 1 inch/25mm slip on spacer. That’s the go to for 11 inch square setups I’ve seen around here. There are some +26 offset 11 inch wheels (Apex comes to mind) for the front which don’t require studs/spacer but then you can’t rotate tires anymore.

The staggered 10 front/11 rear setups will use a +35 or +40 front 10 and the same 50-55 11 rear.

I’ll shill for SVE wheels and say go look at their setups. They’re a very common choice around here for easy wide setups that fit without issues. Also lighter stronger than a lot of the replica wheels which are cast construction still like OEMs. Granted, that’s a new 4 wheel setup which I now see you we’re only looking for two wheels. At any rate, still worth looking at for sizing purposes.

For the front you need about +25 offset and lots of camber.

Thank you guys for the info, I really like having the 19x10 up front and 19x11 in the rear, thank you for the offsets. When it comes to wheels and tires there's thousands of combinations of what people run on their cars so I appreciate the info. My dilemma now is do I spend 2k on a set of wheels and tires or do I put that toward my VMP Odin fund. I have already done the OPGs myself and I am ready for boost. I called VMP the other day and the seem just as backed up on orders just like Whipple is. I may just replace my bald Mp4s out back and keep on saving for Odin
