I've done a fair amount of searching but haven't found anyone in my exact situation.

I have the 04 6MT w/ Brembos, stock 18s w/ 25mm spacers, not lowered. The current set-up looks great in my opinion and a lot of people who stop me on the street.

I want to put the stock 19" rays on it. I want to keep the flushed look.

In my research I've found that the front wheels have the same offset, whereas the 19" rears are +33 vs. my +30 18s.

The way I understand it, I can leave my spacers on the front and the wheels should have the exact same flushed look. In the back the 19s will stick out an extra 3mm.

Does anyone out there know if I will have any problems running the 25mm spacers? Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Not True. Offsets are tough to understand. A 33mm wheel would be tucked in 3mm more than a 30mm wheel, if all things are equal, but they aren't. The OEM 19s are 8" wide in front, but 8.5" in back. The 18s are 8" on all corners. 1/2" equals 12.7mm. However, the 12.7mm needs to be cut in half because 1/4" of the width is on the inside of the wheel. That means 6+mm, less the difference in the offset 3mm, puts you back to where you thought you were 3mm (.118") is such a small difference that it should work fine.

My Nismos are 9.5" in back with a 30mm offset and, IMO look great. Your 25mm spacer is close to an inch wide. My Nismos are 1" wider than the 19s with 3mm less offset. You should have no issues.

Thanks man. That was a big help.

You're right this offset stuff hurts my head, but after reading your post I think I finally have it.
