Will still fit with ease, are you ordering these wheels new? If so you can pick which disk you want for maximum lipage, it al depends if you want to leave room for a BBK in the future, or if you have brembo's.

 

r disk up front and o disk in the rear? or is it the other way around? i have brembos, dont plan on bbk. yes, wheels will be new from work.. i mean, im not ordering them just yet, but im set on these wheels

 

if you dont plan on getting bbk then get O disk all around for max lip however they will be harder to sell so go with A disk front O disk rear

 

I think I have narrowed my choice down to the Five Axis S5F wheels.
I wanted them for my wintersetup.

Could you give me your thoughts and advice?

The S5F are in +20 and +30 available in 18x8.5
Winter tires for 18" are more affordable.
Which offset would work for the G35C Front and Rear?

It should be ok running non-staggered wheels on the Coupe right?

If 18x8.5 works, then I could potentially get 245/45/18 tires all around (or 255/45/18 or 265/40/18 - but the wintertire choices start diminishing)

 

can't you get 10" rear???

 

hi shane
the reasons are 2 fold
the vendor in this forum only has 18x8.5
if i go to 10, that would be nice for summer tires but its almost impossible to find winter tires that are 275 or even 285 wide (for the 10"width)
people also recommend skinnier tires to slice through the snow
do you know which offsets would work well for the 18x8.5?

 

Well stock wheels are 8/8.5 and +30's and you see how super tucked they are, so you'd be looking at something around 0 to be somewhat flush!

 

For a winter setup, you want to go narrower, I wouldn't even recommend the 245's. I would go 225/50/18 all around, or 225/45/18F 225/50/18R or 235/50/18 rear on the 18x8.5. 18x10 is a horrible choice for winter wheels. As far as offsets for an 18x8.5, you want somewhere around +5 for the front, and +0 to -10 for the rear to be semi-flush. I wouldn't worry about fitment too much in the winter though. Heck, I run 17x7+50 in the winter

 

Those are +45 I believe Red.

 

ok
so the best option for the S5F would be +20 for the 18x8.5

since the stock 19s rear wheels are 19x8.5 +33

if i would use the 18x8.5+20 rear (no spacers), this S5F wheels would stick 13mm future out compared to the stock 19s but it will not be flush...
am i right?


i think the 8.5 would give me the flexibility to use 225 or 245 tires in the winter and if i wanted to use summer tires, i could go to 245 or 265 ?
am i right on this?

 

you should not run a 265 on an 8.5" wheel

 

Yea you are right

 

oh sorry
maybe a 245 or 255 on a 8.5" wheel

looks like a 8.5" can go from 235 to 255 safely

 

It's what's recommended...

 

Hey what's up Shane, and anyone else willing to help out.. This is a long one, so take a deep breath. Here's the situation, I know what rims, size, and lip size I want, but not sure of the offset. I know this has been asked time and time again, but I am still unsure. I will be on some tein cs, with only the rear fenders rolled. I want the wheel to sit flush, do "not" want to run spacers, do "not" want to stretch tires, and do "not" want to rub. I want a 3-3.5 inch lip in front, 4-4.5 inch lip in the rear, more so the 3.5F, and 4.5R, if possible without problems. Do I run "a disks" all around? "o disks" in front, and "a disk" for the rear? So I can sell them easier later? Or "o disks" all around? I did my own research or tried, but don't trust myself.. Am I on the right track? Let me know please.... Here's a couple set ups I came up with, tell me what's wrong, cause I'm sure I screwed up somewhere.

Will any of these, give me what I'm lookin for(lip wise)? Or am I way off? Please tell me if you know the specs I've got pictured in my head, but have no clue about. I just know I want a cool size lips all around, but bigger lip in the rear.

1. 19x9.5, 10.5 +7 F&R "a disks"
2. 19x9.5 +17, 10.5 +10 "o disks"
3. 19x9.5 +17 "o disks", 10.5 +7 "a disks"

I know this was a long one, so "I thank anyone, and everyone", who took their time to help out a lost soulDOMO....
