How are you guys figuring out what offset you need when buying rims?

And how do you know what will casue rubbing or not?

Thanks from the newbie

 

That can be a very long answer. But I guess the easy answer will be "common knowledge" among G drivers. There are a ton of different set ups that you can get but they all depend on what you're looking for, wether or not you have BBK, lowered, etc.

For the coupe one of the most common set ups I've seen is:

front 19 x8.5 +15 to +20 offset w/ 245/35/19
rear 19x9.5 +20 to +25 offset w/ 275/30/19

For the sedan:

front 19x8.5 +35 to +38 offset w/ 245/35/19
rear 19x9.5 +42 to +45 offset w/ 275/30/19

I would start with choosing the wheel you like, put it up for opinion and specs info and we'll help you get the best set up.

 

make and model of the wheel is extremely important. there are no common offsets when it comes to wheels in general. however, common offsets in wheel brands is true.

what wheel is it you're interested in?

 

I am in interested in VOlk SF Winnings in a 8.5 and 9.5 offset, but I have no idea how the offset thing works.

 

for that kinda set up:
19x8.5 +25 and 19x9.5 +29

but that will give you a tucked in look. IMO i prefer when the back stick out a bit. i would go w/
19x9.5 +30 and 19x10.5 +24
for a nice aggressive look

 

^ there are no such offsets for the SF Winnings in 9.5 / 10.5. the best optimal 9.5/10.5 SFW's would be + 19 ff + 17 rr. i totally agree about bringing it out more instead of looking like stilts (oem).

19 x 8.5 + 25
19 x 9.5 + 17

would be a great combo. the +17 rr will give you 80mm of labia.

 

oh my bad, those offsets were from GT-7s, i thought it would be the same, since they are both volks

 

What about this offset? How much labia will it have, and will I rub the fenders?

Size Selected: 19x8.5Front
Wheel Offset: +30mm
** Lightweight: 25.6 lbs. **


Size Selected: 19x9 Rear
Wheel Offset: +38mm
** Lightweight: 27.3 lbs. **

 

can't answer your question because you left out the make/model of the shoe.

 

My bad. These rims are from Tireracks website -> SSW D5R

Thanks

 

What about the following offset? (different rear size)

SSW D5R

Size Selected: 19x8.5Front
Recommended Tire Size: 225/40-19
Wheel Offset: +30mm
** Lightweight: 25.6 lbs. **


Size Selected: 19x10 Rear
Recommended Tire Size: 275/35-19
Wheel Offset: +37mm
** Lightweight: 28.2 lbs. **

 

bump

 

those are gonna tuck in way too much, w/ a 10in rim try to find a +17 to + 24. anything in the +30 range will tuck in

 

Thanks.

What about a 19x9 with +38mm offset?

 

Where can I find the available offsets for 19" SF Winnings in 9.5" and 10.5" widths?

I realize that I am in the minority here, but I want a bit of the "tucked" look to my wheels.

I'm thinking of 19" SFW's with:

9.5" front 255/35/19

10.5 rear 285/35/19

I'm not sure how far in the wheels can move before they start hitting on the inside wheelwell... or maybe the shock?
