I just got my tC and I was wondering what the wheel offset was? I was also wondering what you all think of a silver car with gold rims? I am thinking about buying a set of VOLK GTN's from a friend but they are gold with a polished lip. I was wondreing do you think that they would look good on a silver tC? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Is this the 5 x 100 offset? Someone please correct me if not, but that's the number I've been seeing.

 

It's in the "FAQ: Everything You Wanted to Know About the Scion tC... " thread.

 

yes that is the 5 x 100 offset

 

The bolt pattern is 5x100. The offset is 45mm.

 

Wondering what the deepest offset the tC can handle in the rear?

I'm getting 19x8 Axis wheels and want em staggered, deeper offset in the rear. Basically I want it flush with the fender w/o rubbing or protruding.


Opinions?

 

try 19x8 w/ a +35 offset if you can get ahold of some, if they dont make that size, then go with a +38 that is actually damn close to being flush with the fender.

19x8 +42 front
19x8 +38 rear

 

Awesome, you rule.

 

Makes sense. I didn't know about the 45mm part. I don't do wheels.

 

Jason is right... 5x100 is the bolt pattern +45mm is the offset (also called High Offset).
If you like the gold wheels and polished lip look at the new RH's. Only available in 19's but damn they look amazing (seen the ad for them in Import Tuner and Modified)

 

good stuff in here
