anybody know how this will fit? also, anyone have any pics of cars w/ this particular setup? I'm just wondering. I know this isnt a good offset, but ill space it out.

you might have to space it out quite a bit i have 19's and put a 5mm spacer its on a +42 offset it still sits a little in its noticable if you stare at it from the rear, also it might rub +45 offsets are usually ran on hondas, try to find like a +38 offset and you can still run a spacer if needed ill try to pm you some pics bro

look at the 5 zigen post on this forum he has a +25 offset its flush

Those are 7" wide though. The same look with a 7.5" would require an offset of +31mm.

thanks for the respond...i know what the ideal offsets were regarding wheels, just wondering if the +45 would rub or not....its a particular wheel im getting a crazy deal on =)


Mike

If it rubs, get spacers.
Measure to see if you have the extra 32mm towards the struts/springs from the stockers.

thanks i know that =P i was seeing if a +45 would rub

I'm thinking this will rub.. if not you will be a hair away from rubbing in the rear. Inazuma was running an 8" wide wheel with ET42 and it rubbed. He needed a 3mm spacer in the rear to barely clear. According to my calculations, an 8" wide wheel ET39 and a 7.5" wheel ET45 sit the exact same distance from the strut housing. I know that even with the spacer, Inazuma had soem rubbing during turns so you'll probably have to run a 5 mil spacer to be sure. The wheels will still look tucked under. In fact, if you get 18×7.5 ET25, they'll look just as big as 19×7.5 ET45 since the wheels will sit ¾" further out to the fenders...

running 18x7.5 with 45mm offset....no rubbing in the front....and used a 5mm spacer in the back because i felt the tire was to close to the rear crossmember....i did drive the car for awhile without the spacers without problem.....after lowering the car with tein s tech's i used 5mm spacers in the back.....all is well :)

thanks for the response guys. I was checkin cause the rim style i like comes in that setup, but the ones im ending up getting is a 19X8 +37 offset....thanks again guys

I just put some HP Racing 19x7s with a +42 offset running Yokohama Prada Spec IIs 215/35-19s. They are inset just a little but lucky for me that is what I need ti tuck my tires with my bags. They will rub with a 2" Goldline drop. Yo need to trim the fender liner and knock in the medal fender some, but not much.
