Does anyone run this type of offset?

I ordered a set of TSW Thruxtons for my car, should be delivered today and just curious if anyone runs this setup.

19x8 (245/35/19) +40 up front
19x9.5 (275/35/19) +35 in back

They did not offer a 19x8.5 so I had to get 19x8 in this wheel.

Does anyone run this setup? Also will the look be very nice or will the wheels be tucked inside the fender quite a ways? These wheels are exchangeable so I can swap them out if I dont like the look. What would be a better offset to get for my setup? I'm going to run the Tanabe GF210 drop on the car and I'm not a track junkie or drift, just my daily driver so more for looks.

Those offsets are very weak. You are probably going to want to invest in a pair of spacers.

, I thought we had covered this.

+20!

I don't know their exchange policy, but I wouldn't even test fit them. Send them back immediately and get the +20. No sense in running spacers when you can just buy the right sizes to begin with.

Those offsets are exactly what I had and let me guess, the company probably told you to get those offsets. they are madly tucked in!!!!! basically those offsets match the factory, and the factory wheels are tucked in.

you may be different, but you dont spend that kind of cash to have the wheels tucked in, you want those puppies flush with the fender.

do not mount the tires yet, send them back and get +20 all the way around. trust me. you will be much happier.

I will send them back, I just wanted a last minute opinion here. The wheels are returnable. Thanks for the info!

I did do some research prior to ordering, it was a simple mistake of myself and the salesman I placed them with. We didn't discuss offsets, basically the entire transaction was done via email, I was busy at work and i'm sure he was flooded with emails. I wont mention any names or companies, lets just say it's a reputable one from my350z.com that many have ordered from. So it was a simple mistake.

Here are pictures of the wheels, I got them in today but going to return them tomorrow and exchange for proper offsets. The rear isn't to bad, but the front is way off.

Horrible of a company to sell you weak sauce offsets. Hope you really did exchange them.

Pretty sure thats what my buddies offset is. Anyways it's not an aggressive offset basically same fitment as stock. It still however looks good. I have however run a much more aggresive offset with my wheels.

What offset are you running?

I am trading my wheels in for +20 all the way around. It's not a problem he said. I just gotta bring them back to him and he'll send out the same set with +20 around. The 19x9.5+20 is on backorder which sucks, but i would rather wait 2-3 weeks and get what I want rather than having something I dont want.

19x9.5 +21 Front and 19x10.5 +24 rear.
