Have a Question/s About Wheels/Tires/Offsets/Camber/Etc? Ask here::
Hi, guys I am having 04 sedan with stock 17x7 +45mm offset rim and 225/55/R17 tire, front and rear Now I want to switch to 19' rims and I have two options: 1. stock 19' rims of a coupe: Front: 19x8 +30mm offset Rear: 19x8.5" +33mm offset, tires are 225\40Z\R19, 245\40Z\R19 2. aftermarket 19' rims: 19x9.5 with a +35 offset, tires are 245/35/R19, 235/30/R19 Two questions I have: 1. I did some research but seems no definite answer if it is safe to switch to a rim with different offset. Can I use these rims? 2. I checked the tire size and diameter should be fine, but not sure about the clearance to the suspension. Should I roll fenders and/or add spacer? Need to make a decision today or tomorrow. Thanks a million!
Most guys running stock rays (+35, 8.5") have no issue at all on the sedans.
Thanks for response.
Yes I am thinking of thicker tire but I checked the inner side of the tire and I felt the clearance to the suspension is kinda close. Moving to a smaller offset will get them even closer right?
Or should I add some spacer for safety?

Hey guys just a question on rims im looking at for a coupe. Im looking at some 18x8F and 18x9.5R with both a 45mm offset. Do you think wheel spacers are needed to get more flush? How much space? 25mm? Any answers would help.
Thank you!t

Honestly you are not even going to get close to flush with those specs man...even if you use a 30mm spacer front and rear its still gonna be sunken in

Need Tires!!!!
Im looking to buy a set of tires for my new rims, the rims are 18x9.5 +20mm all the way around. I don't want to role the fenders and my main concern is rubbing.
OEM Size is
225/50/17
235/50/17
I was thinking of going with a
255/40/18 for the Front (0.67% from OEM)
275/40/18 for the Rear (1.56 % from OEM)
Based on the tire size calculator both sizes are within the 3% limit of the OEM, Do you guys think ill have a problem putting the 255s on or should I go with a 245/40/18 (-0.55% from OEM) for the front
BTW suspension and Camber is stock

19×8 wheels 36mm offset.
Ok I need some help and I have searched and couldn't find any answers specific to my question. I have an 04 sedan 6mt so sport package and I know someone selling some nice 19×8 TSW wheels with a 36mm offset. I am on stock springs and shocks (sport package of course.) Would I be able to run this wheel size and width with that offset without having to make any modifications or will I need spacers or rolling of my fenders. I appreciate any help with this. I'm getting a killer deal on the wheels.
Gonna be clooosssse. Probably won't rub on the regular, but maybe a little in a sharp turn.
