19x9.5 wheel 25mm offset: OK?

Is a 25mm offset too low for a 2013 GT on a 9.5" wheel? Front and rear. I'm on FRPP K springs so 1.5" drop.

It'd be real close. My 9" fronts are 30mm offset and I wouldn't want it any closer. You're looking at over half an inch further out than mine and lowered 1.5" might rub the fender when you turn.

Unless you stretch a 205 tire and run "Euro" amounts of negative camber it won't work well at all. Reference the RTR 19x9.5 +35mm for comparison then imagine it sticking out nearly 1/2 inch closer to the fender.
Gotcha. Yeah, that's not gonna work. Thanks!
I’m running 8.5+25 in the front and it’s pretty damn flush. Mine stick out 2MM further than the RTR’s. You would be 8MM further out than my setup which would poke out bad. I used this site to help get my wheel offsets just right. Wheel Offset Calculator

Hey thanks for that link. According to the calculations, a 9.5" wide wheel with a 25mm offset will be 23mm further out...I think that's doable. Considering people are running 30mm spacers without problems. I'm gonna measure first to be sure though.
For a 9.5 wheel i would stick to around 32mm offset. My rears are pretty aggressive with 10" 40mm offset with 295 tire.
It's not going to work. Like Grimace427 said, unless you run narrow stretched tires and stupid amounts of camber, it's going to be a brutal fitment.

Think of it this way:

An RTR with a 19x9.5 +33 offset is as close as flush as you can get. That's with a 275 width tire on front and back. Even then, on the rear of the car, it's worth it to get an adjustable PHB so one side doesn't stick out.

Pushing it out another 8mm would push it outside the fenders. Rear is a no-go for sure. I wouldn't do it. For the fronts...you could MAYBE make it squeeze in with a narrow tire and some negative camber. Again, it wouldn't be worth it. If you want to run a 255 on the front, just get an 8.5" or 9" wheel.

That's my 0.02...
I've ran 18x10.5" +27 offset wheels with no problem. Yes, they will be sticking outside the wheel wells a bit, but to each his own. I only use these wheels on the track, so I'm not too concerned with looks lol. But had absolutely no rubbing issues.

Also I was using 275/35/18 tires, so much shorter than the stock diameter tires.

Edit, I didn't see you are dropped on springs. I was on all stock suspension.
