Wheel Drama... O_O

Im looking to get the biggest lip possible for my car. The only problem is that the rim might not clear the front caliper. Here are my options so let me know what you guys think. The difference between the low disk and standard disk is only a little more than 1/4" of lip.

1. Order 2 wheels with the low disk (bigger lip) and wait around 2 months for it to come in. Then test fit the wheels on the front to see if it clears the caliper. If it doesn't fit then Id order 2 wheels with the standard disk (smaller lip) It would give my car the staggered wheel look even though the rim and offset would be the same.

2. Order 2 wheels with the low disk (bigger lip) and 2 wheels with the standard disk (smaller lip) and wait around 2 months. It would give my car the staggered wheel look even though the rim and offset would be the same.

3. Order all 4 wheels in the standard disk (smaller lip) to play it safe and only have to wait around 2 months.

Heres a picture of the rim

The new wheels im getting are going to be staggered looking like you explained.. 2 piece forged wheels...

the front wheels are 19x8 with a 40 offset but he rears are going to be 19x8 with a 30 offset..

my rear wheels is going to sit flush with my rear fender with a 2.5" lip and the front will clear the calipar with a 2" lip along with sitting flush with the front fender wells..

From what you explained as long as the front have a offset of 40 or so they should clear the calipar without any problems..

I am more worry that it will not clear your fender

I know that the rear will clear. I ran a +40 with a 235/35/19 tire before and the front was okay. I don't think 2mm would make much of a difference. What do you guys think?

Both of the rims that id get would be 19x8 with a +38 offset. Just the disk of the wheel would be different. Giving it the staggered look.
