Default 2 wheel setups....

Im looking at 2 different sets of wheels right now. Below are the specs and I want to know which set you folks think would fit best on my S which is lowered enough that I can only get my index finger between the tire and fender, so pretty damn low.

SET A: 18x8 +48 F and 18x9 +50 R

OR

SET B: 18x8 +49 F / 18x9.5 +55 R

I know they are quite close in size but I want to be sure I get the right set.

Damn your good!

Why would set B be your choice between these 2?

the 9 inch width with a 255 tire will make the tire sidewall more square with the wheel. There is actually a greater chance of rubbing with a 9 +50 then the 9.5 +55, and the 9.5 will sit more flush with the fender. That's 2 good reasons why not to get the 9 +50

If I were you, I would also consider the option of going

18x8 +62 18x10 +62
or
18x8 +62 18x10 +49
