This doesn't make any sense!

Rep Power: 410 oh wait. you're right. that DOESNT make sense. the same offset front and back, yet one has a deeper dish than the other. so are the spokes more curved in the rear than in the front in order to achieve the harmonized offset?

Rep Power: 0 nope.... spokes in front have 1" bow so they clear brakes 19x8 +45 30mm backing plate
rear=19x8 +45 0mm backing plate... spokes in rear r less curved than fronts..
i designed rears... i would know the offset etc..
lol

Rep Power: 0 First off, let me say that your car is tastfully done. With that said, dont think what Im about to say is bashing you by any means.
WHY would you want a fatter lip on the rear wheels to make the car "appear" to have wider wheels in the back like rwd cars have? I love deep lipped wheels just like the next guy, but I think for fwd cars, its should be balanced front and rear. Even though your rim widths are the same, the appearance is that the rear wheels are wider, which just looks odd to me on a fwd car.
Anyway, keep up the clean look bro.

Rep Power: 289 oh and that offset must be real tight or the same as mine, cuz i got rota gt3's and let me tell u... the area between my rim and the brake caliper is like a quarter cm if im lucky. its so close im surprised it doesn't rub the caliper. its literally sitting on the caliper almost. i dunno why its so close, my other rims wherent this close but its all good tho cuz it has a nice polished lip on it to make it look nice and fill it out. any else have rims where its like real close to ur caliper?

Rep Power: 0 What do you mean you can't fit a spacer? I used to have a 20mm spacer in the rear to push my rims out to meet the widebody. It fit fine. The studs weren't too long nor were they too short. Just chose not to use it under normal conditions cause I didn't like how the rims would rub my widebody.
