Hi I'm about to order some 19" Axis Hiros in Anthracite for my Z.

I'm not sure if I should get the 8.5front/9.5rear
Or the 8.5front/10.5rear

I would like to get the 10.5 but I don't want to run into problems like rolling my fenders if I get a drop, etc.

Also, what offsets should I get? I am unfamiliar on which offset to pick. I would like an offset that offers good drivability, but still have it stick out flush with the fender.

Also I don't spend alot on rubber. Which would be a better choice?

I need help please, I don't want to make a $1200 mistake or more if you count tires.

 

I don't think you really have offset choices with the Axis wheels. Why do you want the 10.5s? You didn't really give a reason. Please don't tell me its for a bigger lip as it obviously isn't to run a wider tire. Go with the 8.5/9.5 and use the common 245/275 combo and be done with it. It fits great and no worries about rubbing.

 

+1, 10.5's weigh another 3-5 pounds more then 9.5's too.

 

I checked on axis' site and it actually says the 10.5 weighs 26.9lbs and the 9.5 weighs 27lbs! Wierd..........

Question: how does offset work?

I see two sets of Axis Hiros on ebay:

One set has 15/20 offset

Second has 20/25 offset

 

You can run either of those two offsets but to be safe I would run the 20/25 offset.
