I just have to my 2 cents here, cause if you dont know what stretched tires are, you might have a hard time dealing with the 0 offset. Those rims will really stick out, and youre going to have to roll the crap out of your fender (which if isnt done right will rust because of the paint cracking) and you will have to add camber , and if youre lowered , add a lot of camber to make that work. And with that you have to buy an adjustable camber arm. Those will be some aggressive wheels, and they arent for just anyone, so before you pull the plug I would do a little more research and look at more pics. All of the aforementioned things plus stretched tires will affect your ride quality more than what it would with +12.

I definitely agree with Addytdot...getting into the "flush" scene isnt something you just do..atleast not if you want to do it right...it takes time..MONEY..and research research research! i bought my car 7 months ago and have yet to pull the trigger on any mods since i have been constantly researching wheels/offsets/pros and cons/camber and so on..something i do everyday with my spare time. the quality of your ride will be affected as stated and though MANY people daily drive their slammed cambered out rides it really isnt practical for many drivers if its your daily and only car..so search and search forum topics like the aggressive and stretched tire thread and look for pics..id say most guys are going with the +12 offset but im still deciding on going +0 also..but ive done my homework lol

If that's the question, then yes you can, direct bolt on.

Suspension won't have anything to do with your wheels.

Welcome to the forum!
Thats exactly what I wanted to know, thanks!

so i find out that the miro 19 x 8.5s come in 15 for offset and the 19 x 9.5 in 20.

can somebody school me on the whole offset thing and tell me what i should ideally have for offset on my 07 X sedan for a non staggered 19s setup? ;-/

p.s. the ASAs come with Offset: 45mm

hi guys...

quick question...will 9.5 +30 all round work on a sedan? I know the rears will be ok with stretched tires and lowered. More concerned about the fronts if they will clear the struts...

Experts please chime in...thanks!

Fronts will clear fine.

Look for different wheels, those aren't worth buying.

Need some help. I just put staggered G37s 19s on my 07 sedan. I have the stock BS potenzas(225/45/19 and 245/40/19) tires on them now but I've read that I can run 245/40/19 up front and 275/35/19 in the rear without rubbing. Can I still run the 245 and 275 tires if i decide to drop the car on H&R springs?

For $100 a wheel there are better options than wheels that fit worse than OEM.

100% waste of money, you'd be better of painting your stock wheels or buying coupe wheels (19s usually run about $800 with tires and 18s usually run about 500-600 with tires)

Yea you should be fine, luckily your fenders are rolled from the factory. I'm unsure what the drop is for the H&R springs, but if it's only 1 to 1.5" then you'll be fine.

so me and frankie have been brainstorming on what i can do. i want to eventually get some LXZs, but i want to run the FR disk front and rear with low offset to clear the brembos. right now im at 20x8.5 -5 with 225/35 and 20x10 +0 with 245/35 dropped on tanabe df210s. im satisfied with my drop and stance at -2.2f and -3.2r natural camber. id like to run maybe a 9.5/10 and 11 setup. but what specs will work for the FR disc and bbk clearance. i will run a small spacer if needed to clear tho. as far as my current setup, im content with the rear...maybe a few mm out wouldnt hurt...and maybe another 5-10mm out would be nice with a nice streetable stretch. any help? thankee
