Default Best rim set up/ offset/ size

I am thinking to get 18" or 19" rims and not sure what to get. I'd like to get a staggered set but not sure what would for best. I'd like s nice lil lip in rear and a smaller one in front. Ofcourse I want low profile tires as well. I'm probably going with the bilstein sport n H&r sport set up. Thanks for r help

all depends on width and offset. Need more info on your potential choices first

I don't have any potential choices yet, was gonna start with size and offset. And 19x10&19x12 would be pretty nice, if I had a lil bit bigger of a car lol

I had 19x8 TSW (et 37) last year and loved them. I ran 235-35-19 tires and at my ride height (down 2.5" in front, 1.25" rear) the front fenders constantly hit the tires, even with the fenders rolled. 225s might have just tucked. You have to drive carefully - that low a sidewall doesn't give much protection to the wheels and bending one on a sharp bump or pothole is a very real risk. But 19s on a dropped B5 look awesome.
