Any *SEDAN* owners running 9-inch wide or greater wheels at the back? Please let me know, I would love to take a look at how they turn out. I'm getting ready to import a set of wheels from Japan (NO RUFUND!!!), so it is crucial that I nail down the proper offsets and width or it's going to be one sorry pile of expensive door stoppers. All responses greatly appreciated.

Again, this only applies to SEDANs.

Thanks in advance

Hey Clint... if you go with a 9" the offset can run between 35mm and 50+mm of course the higher offset the better the fit, but if you want the depth...Also if you run higher than 19" wheels you add to your difficulty of fitment.

Ideal offsets: Range:
9" - 45mm 35mm - 55mm
9.5" - 50mm 40mm - 60mm
10" - 55mm 50mm+

P.S.
For those who care. I drive a Silver Sedan 6MT CA license plate "KRZ HAYN" = "Krazy Hawaiian". A "Shaka" is always welcome.

 

Thanks Kawika

Yeah, I was looking to squeeze the *widest* 19" wheels at the back of the sedan. After much reasearches and testimonials by a 'few' (not all from the g35driver board) ... I was looking at F: 19x8.0 +45 (245/35R19) and R: 19x10.0 +45 (275/30R19). 'They' assured that it will fit and looks *fine*. But everyone's taste and opinnions are different. I'm sure 10" with +45 offset will fit, but I'd like to see for myself how close they line up (or stick out) w. the rear fenders. Everytime I do the rough math on the above, I said to myself, "How in the heck?!?! ... and if yes, it's gotta be hideous looking to me." So, now I'm reverting back to 9.0" in the back ... yet still unsure.

It's too bad these Advan wheels I'm getting do not come in .5" increaments (either 9.0" or 10.0") and only come in offsets of either +38 or +45. Ugghh!

I would still love to check out any *LIVE* speciments out there! Please contact me if you got those phat wheels on your sedans.
