Just to get clarification since I've read that they DO and that they DON'T fit from various members on this site, can someone please tell me the following:

1. Will the following wheels fit properly on my 2005 Coupe:

Size: (FRONT)19"x 8.5"

(REAR)19"x9.5"

Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3

Off Set: +35mm

2. What size and brand tire do you recommend?

Thanks,
SZ

 

they'll fit, but be pretty tucked and look horrible IMO. You'll need at least 20mm spacers to make them look decent

 

terrible offsets, especially for 8.5/9.5 wheels.

 

^what he said

 

Your rear offset should be between +19 to +29, depending on the wheel.

...but they'll fit.

 

Thanks for the info!

I fit the wheels today and they fit nicely. Basically, the rim is flushed with the fender if you are looking from the top. As soon as I get tires on them, I'll post pics.

Thanks,
Angel

 

impossible. I've got much lower offsets and I'm not even flush

 

what is your definition of "flush?" O.o

 

Okay, I broke out the digital caliper and if I fit the wheel on, and look straight down from the top of the fender, the wheel sticks out about 5mm pass the fender; to the naked eye it looks flushed. They are surely not tucked in like others mentioned. The front wheels are pretty much dead even with the fenders. I was told by the seller that they were 35mm offset, I guess I could always measure the wheel and see what the offset is (I have to look up how to do that). I will post picks as soon as I get tires mounted since I was waiting to ensure they fit before I spent that cash.

The wheels are not very expensive (ADR) but they look nice with the 3in polished lip and black center. Although they are cast, they weight about 28lbs which is only about 4-5lbs heavier than the stock forged 19in wheels.

Can you take pictures? I'm curious to see how flush they are. Also, realize that when you put the tires on and the car is sitting and the ground that you will have some negative camber that will sink the wheels in.

28lbs is quite heavy for wheels. Is that the weight of the front or rear wheels?

 

Did you measure them when the car was in the air?

 

Yup...

 

gotta remember the negative camber when the car is on the ground

 

they are going to be tucked for sure. my last set of gt-c's were 8.5/9.5, +27,+24 and they were still tucked.
