Question for New wheels on Lowered G

Ok currently i have 19" rays, i dont like how they look (there too inside the fenders.) I will be getting new 19" wheels.

this is the spec of the wheels

19" Staggered Size, Two 19x8.5" (with 20mm offset) 2inch lip and Two 19x9.5" (35mm offset) 3 inch lip 5x114.3mm Lug Pattern

They say it will clear Brembo's. But will it?

2nd question will these stick out or be flush with my fender?

I am currently lowered on tein s tech...

Also this is what i was thinking for my tires setup

245/35/19 - 275/30/19.... will they rub?

thanks.

For the rears you'll need to be in the low 20s or lower...I have 19x10.5+20 and they are flush. With a 9.5 rear look for +15

impossible to know if they clear brembos based on specs alone. You need to know the pad height or the specific wheel. You won't rub because those offsets are WEAK. That rear will still be very tucked in. You also need to be running a 275/35/19 rear. I suggest different wheels

Cause they are wider. The wider the wheel gets the higher the offset is gonna be to sit the same!
Even +20-30 is still weak offsets for the G, even with wider wheels!!

ROFL.

Just as a reference, here is a picture of what offset actually is, for those who don't know. Negative offset would require wide *** wheels with a deep dish look (huge lip).


Obviously there are varying degrees of offset, but this diagram gives you an idea of how it works. I know many people that know exactly the perfect offsets for their car, nice fitment, etc, but have no idea what offset actually is.

oh really? 9.5 -14 can get you about a 4 inch lip and 10.5 -8 gives you about 5 or so


point being, doesn't have to be wide *** wheels
