24mm rear offset on 07 sedan?

What can I do to make these fit an 07 sedan?
These wheels are a 40 offset front, 24mm rear, 19x8.5 and 19x9.5(front/rear)
I am assuming a spacer would do the trick, but what size?
Thanks!
Jay

A spacer is used to push the wheel out. The rear wheel is already out much too far, forget the wheels, the rears won't work

They wont work without tweaking things a bit... but they CAN and WOULD work if you were willing to make them fit. If you run a 245/40 or 255/35 tire with -2.5 degrees of camber then they WILL fit, i'm going to be doing the same thing in 20's.... 20x9.5 +25 rear with a 255/35/20 and -2.5 camber.

OP, you'd definitely want to get a 15mm spacer for the front to even out the look. And you'd want to run a 225/35 or 235/35 up front to match the stretch look of the rear.

Okay, I understand what you are saying Grant but I figured you would have to run too much -camber and this would lead to excessive tire wear, wouldn't it?

It would definitely lead to increased tire wear, but you know the saying... "you gotta pay to play"

If you want the look, you gotta sacrifice something to have it. Its all just personal preference. I wouldnt recommend it if you're doing it on a daily driver just because you're gonna be replacing tires every 4-6 months. I'm going to do it on my car even though its my daily and against my better judgement, but i'm gonna do it anyways because SOMEONE needs to push an aggressive offset on sedans, i figure i'll do it and be the first

True .
I can hardly wait to see your ride with that set-up.

The rears would fit, once you lower the car and some camber, and not too wide of tires... it'll probably look nice too

the fronts on the other hand needs spacers... (if you lower it to make the rears nice and flush)

camber, -2 even -3 isn't too bad
camber doesn't kill tires, it's toe...

haha, sounds like words straight out of Riley's mouth. It is true that toe kills tires, even more so than camber, but camber does have a pretty noticeable affect on tire wear.

A word of caution..... a +40 offset on the rear with eibachs lowered 1.5" barely clears even with a ton of camber on the rear. That rim will stick out almost 5/8 of an inch past a +40 offset. Have fun with that. The car moves around on the road already with -1.5 degrees

barely clears probably depends on tires... can't run super meaty tires...

it'll clear more if you lower it more...

-1.5 isn't bad at all, that's almost like stock... my old car ran -2.5F/-2R, handles awesomely...

so in summary, before buying rims, you have to consider couple factors, like if you're going to drop it (if so, how much), what kind of camber you're going to run, width of tires...
