Default What backspacing/offset needed for 19x13?

I'm looking to purchase a set of 18x10's for the front and 19x13's for the rear on my 02 Z from Boyd Coddington. I'll be installing a Lingenfelter tub kit in a few weeks to allow for the extra space. They asked me what backspacing/offset I would like. Would any member happen to know this information? I'd like the rims/tires to fit flush with my fenders. Any members with a similar setup?

You would also have to take into consideration if you would ever buy a big brake kit as this will also change your off-set measurements.

absolutely. thanks for the reminder. Didn't think about that at the moment. I don't plan on putting a big brake kit any time soon though.

anyone have the offset/backspacing figures for what I need?

If you are running fast enough to need those tires and wheels then you should consider your braking needs. Brakes don't just stop once but over and over. I don't know what your application is but you have consider it all.
