+5 to +10 is a good offset to run for mild aggressive setups..

i'm assuming since he wants mild specs he has a "mild drop" and with a mild drop +5 to +10 would poke a bit frankie

Frankieg35 and Drew113, my car is tuck with the 19 OEM wheels as of now and on coilovers. I think I will try +15 in the front and +10 in the rear sounds decent plus the recommended tire sizes (245/35 and 275/35) you guys were talking about. I figured it out mathematically how to measure offset to get the look I want. I will try it out this weekend and hone in on the offsets I want for the front and rear. Thank you so much for the help.

I'm new to the game and am thinking about getting a set of Varrstoen ES1.1.2's. Will these specs work without me having to run camber (i'm at stock height but will go low as soon as i can afford it)? Fender roll i assume?
Front: 19x9.5 +12 w/ Hankook Ventus V12 245/35
Rear: 19x11 +15 w/ Hankook Ventus V12 275/35
Thanks!

With almost any setup your gonna have to run a bit of camber but those aren't aggressive so you'll be just fine just need to roll your rear fenders

Maya RT5 rebarrel question.

I've got a set of 19" Maya RT5's and was toying with the idea of converting them to step lip 20's. They're a 3 piece wheel with the inner barrel and outer lip welded together with a bolt on face. Does anybody have a source that can sell a 1 piece wheel barrel with a flange to bolt in the face? I know I could buy new inners AND outers, but figured it might be easier to assemble and cheaper to just find a 1 piece barrel. Any feedback or vendor recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

You can try contacting Wheelflip or VR Wheels but I have a feeling finding the new hardware is going to be the easiest part of this rebuild. Have to figured out how you're going to un-weld the face from the barrel? Or if I read that wrong and the face unbolts from a welded assembly (rather than being welded in) you're probably better off with buying inner barrel and outer lip anyway, it's not any harder to put together and you'll have more flexibility over specs (and might even be cheaper that way).

^ Yea the face is dropped in and bolted in he says.

Contact wheel flip, you're not going to find a flanged barrel in the specs you want and if you do it's going to be like $500+ a piece.

This eBay seller/store has 1 piece barrels, although I don't see 19". They also sell inner/outers too

4DGS,

I'm currently running 245/45/18 on coupe 18's on my sedan. I plan to drop on full revised 350z suspension (1 inch all around). If I get my rears rolled flat, will I have any rubbing issues? The tire kinda bulges out a bit, I'm worried that even with the drop and natural camber, that it will rub against the fender. Don't mind the dirt, and that's around a 3 finger gap, with the sidewall of the tire bulging out maybe 1 centimeter past the fender (Birds eye view). Thanks

Yah, it seems to be pretty difficult to find a 1 piece barrel with the bolt flange. I suppose I could always keep an eye out for a set of 20's. I've always wanted a set of these wheels and found a set in 19's, and was hoping to re-build them. I better try and throw them on the car first and see if I like the way they look. I have a brand new set of trafficstars that I'm not quite feeling for some reason. Worst case scenario, I could buy the 2 pieces and build them from scratch and sell the 19" barrels.

Exclamation enkei 18x8

Hey guys. I'm looking into getting a set of wheels for my 20006 G35x sedan. I was looking into these and I'm just wondering, if they will fit, and if they are going to look good. They are 18 x 8. any suggestions would be good.

I'm 17 years old so I don't want to buy a set of $3000 wheels. If you guys have any suggestions on a nice set of wheels I'm open to them.

thanks.

This is what they look like on an Audi and I gotta say I'm not really feeling them.
