Hey everyone,

I've got the chance to pick up some ADR brand 19's. The tires on them now are 245/35's. Previously on a 2006 Camry with stock suspension and had no problems. Don't know offset or rim width. Wondering if it would fit on my 08 xb? They need new tires so I might be able to go narrower depending on rim width. Other than fitment, they seem to be in excellent shape. Buddy takes good care of his things. He wants $750. Ok price?

Chime in with anything you got, whether it be advice, opinions, or whateva.

Thanks!

If you don't know the wheel width and offset, I can't help you...

ADR sucks.

Not everybody can afford $2000 for wheels.

If you have a better recommendation, at a similar price point to the ADR's, please help the OP out.

For the price, I suggest some Enkei RPF1 or RP05, or if you want, some 5zigen FNOR1C.

At least you won't fake the funk, but they're still quality wheels.

but knowing me, i'd get some super wide, super low offset ones :D

Thanks Grant, hope I didn't sound too snappy, didn't mean to anyway.

MaxBoost925

Oh no worries. I know you didn't mean to sound like that anyways.

You're always pretty snappy...in a good way.

I have 19's with 40 offset and 235/35's. 245's would seem to have a pretty godd chance of rubbing. I see a lot of ADR's that only go to 38 offset. I recall somebody on here that had a set of Propulsions, but I don't remember what offset or diameter.

If you can find even find out what model they are, Cionide can probably help you out. There are limited offsets in 19's by model that are our bolt pattern.

Are you kidding? Almost 80% of japanese cars use 5x114.3.

19" wheels, if you choose to go authentic, come in many sizes, widths, and offsets.

Ok I finally got the info. They are ADR42's, 19x8.5, ET40. I want to keep it as simple as possible. Trying to stay away from spacers, fender rolling, etc. Currently on stock suspension but plan on lowering so I'm looking for input regarding both scenarios. So will these work? Thanks to everyone for all your help.

19x8.5 +40 will work fine on the stock suspension or a mild drop (Eibach Pro-Kit, Tanabe NF210, TRD) with 225/35 tires.

Here you can see how it looks with 8.5" wide +40 wheels, with 225/35 tires, on NF springs:

You rock Cionide! Thanks for the help.

Now on to the next matter - what makes ADR's suck?

CIONIDE

iTrader: (1)

Nothing, if you're getting them for looks and normal driving.

If you want serious wheels for racing around or hard core driving, then look toward forged wheels.

Missed this a while back, but just to clarify, I was saying ADR has a limited selection of offsets in 19" wheels in 5x114.3 bolt pattern. The point was if he knew the model name CIONIDE could probably figure the specs.
I'm sure the misunderstanding was my fault. Not that it matters now, but I thought I would clear it up.

Perhaps you can help out the OP with his last question about ADR?

CIONIDE

Don't worry roXor, MaxBoost has serious convictions about his perceptions, which I value. He's usually correct, they just don't always pertain to the rest of us that don't have his budget.

No flames allowed Grant!

secondgenmr2

Okay, all very helpful answers. Yes these wheels will be used for looks & normal everyday driving, nothing aggressive. Those days are past me. Nowadays I'm proudly hauling my one year old around. Besides, we ~are~ speaking about an xb2 right? How many of these actually get race prepped? I'm sure there's a few but most are more about appearances aren't they?

Anyways, to get back on track - so these specs are perfectly fine? No possibility of rubbing anywhere, etc.? Even with a mild drop?

CIONIDE

iTrader: (1)

Correct, as long as you go with 225/35 tires. With 235/35 tires I've seen some say no rubbing, and others say yes rubbing.

secondgenmr2

Awesome! 225's it is. Thanks everyone!

roXor_boXor

If it helps any more, I have the 235/35/19's 40 offset with TRD springs and I have rubbed a couple of times hitting a bump (such as a driveway) with too much speed while turning. Very rare. But if you want to be sure you don't rub at all, you are headed the right way.

We need some kind of header in this section that says something like, "Just do whatever CIONIDE says and all will be well."
Seems like it would save time.

Thanks for the vote of confidence roXor. When it comes to standard fitment I'm usually spot on, but there are those owners that really push the envelope regarding fitment... really low offsets, stretched tires, rolled fenders, coilover drops, etc. where I have no experience other than the info that is already posted on this site. That's when input and confirmation from owners who actually have those aggressive set-ups can really help others.
