Default Anyone lowered on 19's? and Offsets?

Just wondering if anyone out there is lowered on 19's?

Im looking into a set of Work Varianza SP1's 19x8 and 19x10. Anyone have any suggestions as to offsets ill need? I would like to lower it only 1" with springs alone.

Any suggestions?? I dont want any rubbing, however I will roll my fenders if need be.

Thanks.

as far as offset, for the front you want to keep it above 50, for the rear above 60

Copied from another post I made a while ago:

I need to take some new pictures, these are getting tired.

Wheels are HRE 542Rs. The color is OEM Honda Iron Grey Mica in a semi-gloss finish. The sizes are:

19x8.5 +57 in the front with a 7.0" inner barrel and 1.5" outer barrel. Front tire are Continental ContiSport 3s, 235/35/19

19x10.5 +65 in the rear with an 8.0" inner barrel and 2.5" outer barrel. Rear tires are Continental Contisport 3s, 275/30/19

Car is lowered about 2" give or take on KW Variant 3s. All alignment is set to stock. My fenders are all stock (no rolling or pulling). If I take a very sharp turn very quickly I can get my front tires to just barely touch the front fender liner.

Flite: That thing is really lowered 2"? and no rubbing? nice.

Wanna sell those wheels?

Would it be wise to just drop the car on springs?

And yes, im wanting to get at least a 275 out back.
