Question 19x8.5 +42

Any sedan owners running a 19x8.5 wheel in a +42 offset? Any clearance and/or rubbing issues? Can you post some pics please? Thanks.

Im running +46 and no rubbing issues so I sure the +42 are fine. The
OEM 18's are +45.

louielou, thanks for the reply. Any clearance issues with the suspension components? Do you have a picture of the rear of your G? Does the +46 give it a nice wide stance? Thanks again.

I'm running the 8.5" with the 38mm offset. I've seen someone (chico I think) running a 35mm, but I'm pretty sure that a +38mm on a sedan is as much as you can go without rubbing in the rear. I run the 38mm all the way around and love it. It's setup pretty sweet and NEVER rubs.

I'm running 8.5" ET42 on my sedan.

8.5 ET42 is as tight as you can go on the front.
It gives you 2 or 3 mm clearance on the suspension.

Rear has room to spare

Thanks inTgr8r, I appreciate the info. My G is lowered with the same components you have so I should be safe. Ever have an instance where your tire rubbed the suspension?

Rear: 19x9.5 +40 with a 275 tire will give you that nice full-fender look.

I am running +35 all around anything lower would probably stick out too much +38 or +35 will give you an aggressive look I love it.

I will be adding 5mm spacers to my wheels this weekend so they can stick out a bit more.

i'm running +42 all around on 19x8.5 with 245/35 tires. lowered on tein basics, never had any issues. You should be fine with +45 to 46.
