Hey guys,

I had a brand new set of SEVAS S-Stars given to me but they are not the proper bolt pattern, so I'll have to have adapters made. Here is my question the wheel sizes are 19x8.5 35et and 19x9.5 40et the adapters will add 1", I drive a 03' sedan with stock suspension do you guys think these will fit?


Thanks guys

The front should be fine - 19 x 8.5 + 35 - they might rub a bit when you completely turn the wheels.

The rear im not too sure but could rub.

If they are not the proper bolt pattern - 5 x 114.3 - then forget about adapters and return the wheels to the store you bought them from. They should have ordered you the right bolt pattern.

 

Hey man, thanks for the reply...

The wheels were free so I figured hey 300 on adapters plus tires and i'll have new wheels haha..

So its seems logical to be cheap they will fit without problems. The adapetrs are 1" thick thus making the wheels 9.5 and 10.5...

 

adapters will change the offset not width - im not a suspension/wheel pro but this is what someone told me when i had minor issues putting my VSXX's on.

 

Since you need to see what is going to happen when you change the offsets NOT the width of the wheels, check this out. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

That should tell you what is going to happen to both the function of the wheel as well as how it is going to look on the car. I.E. if you go from an 8.5" wheel with a 35 offset to an 8.5" wheel with a 40 offset you will have 5mm less clearance and the wheels will be tucked in 5mm from the outside of the car compared to each other. Just remember you need to compared to the STOCK wheel dimensions to see if it will actually work on your car. Good luck!

 

what bold pattern are these wheels? i suggest re-drilling. i doubt you'll be able to use an adapter without the wheel sticking out too far.

 

FYI 1 inch is not 10mm. This setup with adaptors will put your front at 9.5 +40mm and rear at 10.5 +40 mm. IMO that's not going to work. Sell them and save yourself the trouble and get the right ones.

 

With the 1" spacers your offfset effectively become 19x8.5 +10 and 19x9.5 +15. Way too low of an offset unless your into that kinda thing where your wheels stick way out...

 

How do you figure that? The wheels already have an offset so no it's not +10 and +15.


And Socal_G_sedan is right, 10mm is not 1". It is just under 4/10 of an inch. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

Sell them and buy some that are suppose to fit your car like Socal said.

 

You can change the offset by added spacers or shaving the hub. 1" is roughly 25mm. Adding a 25mm spacer is going to push the wheels out 25mm, which lowers the offset. To calculate it you subtract how much you moved them out, (+35 offset -25mm = +10 offset). If you shave hub your pulling the wheels back in, in that case your raising the offset, so you add. Offsets are a simple concept, but it confuses alot of people.

 

that makes sense , which still concludes...it will not fit a sedan lol

 

OK, I think I'm following you now. Sorry, I thought you were just nuts because it didn't make sense right off. My fault.

 

+1, couldnt have said it better.

Another vote to sell them and get something that will fit.
