I’m running close to +55 offset: OZ Ultraleggera HLT 19x8.5 +53 wheels with 245/35-19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires. I decided to try 19” wheels (to get more sidewall) and since I wanted all season tires for winter this seemed like a good experiment to try. I’m planning on getting another set of 19” wheels next spring for summer tires - the streets around here are a bit sketchy for the OEM wheel/tire setup. The additional sidewall worked out well for me.
The main difference I notice is I stay in sport mode most of the time - on the OEM setup I was usually in comfort mode. It feels like I’m giving up a little in spirited cornering - but not much, and I was expecting that from all season tires. So now I’m curious about summer tires on 19” wheels, but that can wait for spring. Ideally I’ll find some +60 offset wheels by then.
