NEW WHEEL AND OFFSET HELP

ok before i start my questions i am a veteran user and have searched quite a bit and have no found the answers that i am looking for.

so with that being said. I am looking into potentially getting new wheels and i am thinking about some Leon Hardiritt's however i cannot decide upon the model as well as the size. i am trying to decide between 19's and 20's

so my first question will be on 2GS what would most prefer size wise for wheels? i currently have 19's and think it wouldnt be bad if i went a bit bigger but im not totally sold on the idea yet.

i am also on air and with my current offsets have somewhat of a slight gap which i want to fill out to be more flush i am currently running 19x9+25 (with 10mm spacer to clear BBK) and 19x10+25 and would like to be as flush as possible with some slight fender mods. i am already shaved but not pulled.

so my second question is if i move up to a 20 inch wheel then how do the offsets change due to the larger wheel size.

and lastly i would like to know your opinions on the wheels im looking at. i am trying to decide between orden, waffe, and beils.

thoughts?

the offset is measured from the outer edge of the lip to where the the wheel bolts to the hub, so it doesnt change any ratio...20 will just make you an inch higher and fill the wheel well more... I like 20's personally but 19 or 20 is fine. +15 offset is pretty flush beyond that will give a slight poke im thinkin'...Not feelin the waffe's

offsets dont change when you move up, unless you are already at extreme levels with camber and shit
for you it wont matter

I think you should stick with 19's. 20's are too big.

mrkenji: You are in Seattle/Bellevue area right? I've seen your car before. GG nissan meet last week. Nice car, like the airbrush on the trunk lid.
Let me know if you are selling the Weds, I can take those of your hand.
