Can someone chime in with regards to the pros and cons for these two setups. In this example Im talking same wheel & tire brand / type.

19x10 et 26 w/ 265 Tire
19x9.5 et 18 w/ 265 Tire


Do Both have the same fit / flushness?

The 9.5 / 265 Wheel would require more modification to fit. (con)
Lighter wheel? (if comparing same brand & type of wheels)

10 inch w/ 265 would need less mod, but will it appear as flush? It would possibly allow a more aggressive drop. Would a drawback be having the same rubber on the road, but heavier wheel?

Etc.

I've come to the conclusion that my setup would allow me a 275 tire on the 10inch wheel since I had to cut to squeeze my 9.5 ET18 265. And its very very close.

My current setup - 19x 9.5 ET 18, Same exact Tire as Ksfrogman, w/ cut instead of rolling, and its a tight squeeze



With the cutting I did, I feel I would be able to then fit a 275 on a 19x10 wheel (not that I want to) but it would explain the tight fit.

Talk about being off your rocker haha
