Re: Wheel offset

I'm currently running 19x9(rear) w/ + 45 and 19x8(front) +38. Perfect set up for the Sedan.



Peace

Re: Wheel offset

get something around +40 with an 8.5" wheel. +35 might work but it will be very close.

Re: Wheel offset

I have 19x8.5 wheel on a +40 offset, dropped it sits nice and has a nice aggressive stance in the back with the rear wheel out of the fender!!

Re: Wheel offset

If I get these wheels... Im told the 19's only come in the 35mm offset.. am I going to be in a world of hurt when I lower the car?

Re: Wheel offset

If it were me, I would choose another wheel unless you're willing to go to the extra steps of rolling your fenders.

Re: Wheel offset

the cheap way is to take a baseball bat and gently tap in the wheel well lip. The correct way is having a machine specifically made for this push in the lip with a 'roller.'

I believe Zimbo had his rear wheels rolled. I've heard that the fronts cannot be rolled however.

Re: Wheel offset

Thanks for the info. Is there anyone who has actrually tried to install this size of wheel and can say for sure it will or will not rub? I really want these wheels and the price is right. Any pictures floating around out there?
