im wondering if an 8.5 +48 offset in the front and a 9.5 +43 offset in the rear would work for my 05 sedan, dropped on revised z springs and dspecs

 

i thought sedans offsets can get in the 30's range? i could be wrong

 

In the front you'll probably hit the suspension if you mount a 245 tire, if not, you'll be mm away from it. Plus it will not be flushed with the fender. I'd definately get 10mm spacers. In the rear you'll be ok with 275 tires.

 

The rear wheel offset is good.

For the front I'd definitely get a spacer. I'd get a 10mm spacer for the front. I've checked around for myself and there's only 2 options. Either get a Project Kics or Eibach, unfortunately H&R doesn't make 10mm spacers.

 

you can reference off this:
18X7.5 offset 45 w/ 245/45/18s.....BARELY cleared front suspension....i mean you can probably fit two pages in there.....rear was no problem....... looks way tucked though...

18X8 offset 30 w/245/45/18s(Z track wheel)....front cleared w/no problem.....
this wheel/tire combo has it flush with fender.........if anything, i might go to 235/45 tires in the future........the 245/45 up front seems too much tire

hope this helps.

 

what size rim?

if 19 x 8.5 w/ +48 offset then you will have interference with tire sidewall and suspension arm..... especially with 245/40's up front... a 5mm spacer can make room for clearance though....

 

will 5mm enough or will the wheel still be too tucked in? i may seriously get these wheels and I need to know.

 

search for posts by EQUATE and see if you like the look.... he's got m35/45 sport rims (19 X 8.5 with 50mm offset) and 245/40s up front.... it appears to be flush with fenders to me....
