Let's start off by saying that I thought these would fit until I spoke with the sales rep on the phone.

I've settled on getting a set of G-Games 99B (Barracuda) and I wanted 19x9.5+40 front (a +22 offset is preferable but that might be pushing it), 19x10.5+22 rear but the sales rep said that the front and rear might rub and recommended that I get 8.5+25 front and 9.5+40 on the rear.

I'm on the stock suspension and have no intention of going lower (I already have trouble with speed bumps as it is) or rolling my fenders and I have a sneaking suspicion that my desired 9.5+40 (maybe +22) and 10.5+22 setup would not rub with a stock ride height. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Also, does anyone know any site vendors that sell G-Games?

Adam@z1auto.com carry them.
not sure if he still carry them
+40 is too high offset bro IMO

I figured as much, considering that I'm staying with the stock height and the Z's fairly generous fender well space.

I've never seen an offset that high rub with any correct plus size wheel/tire combo

Thanks for the replies, everyone, looks like +22 on the front and back is the way to go.

Now I only need to contact Z1 Auto...

You absolutely want the 9.5/10.5 combo, with +22 all around. I had a set of those last year. Here's a pic of those exact specs on my car:

I know exactly what youre trying to do

youre trying to get in on the 99b clearance prices @ DTD (or their ebay store).... I know 'cause I was looking at those exact same offsets 2 weeks ago. The right offsets are sold out in Silver. I bet they are pretty low in gunmetal now too.

I really didnt want to buy new wheels and THEN run spacers.

That looks nice. Stock ride height, I assume?

Yeah, but I didn't know they were on clearance. Has the 99B been discontinued?

No, Tein Flex w/EDFC. I had the front raised up b/c it used to be a daily driver. It's lower now. Here's a more recent pic:

The salesman has no idea what he's talking about. Get the wide +22 with a 255/35 and 275/35 combo and you will be fine.

yeah, on clearance. discontinued some time ago

the DTD site reflects those prices too. However, getting a set of staggered in the right offsets will be tricky. GL..


You can build the needed set with the single wheel sales, they show qty avail on the listing.

I wanted silver, and couldnt make it happen.. but GM was still available from their stock 2 weeks ago with the +22 offsets

Hmm, I'd better move fast then. On the other hand, I'm trying to buy a house right now so maybe I ought to divert the new wheels fund into the paying for equity fund...

there are always better places to put your money than buying wheels. I just paid off my G, it took me that long to finally pull the trigger. That said, these were easily 2k+, if you like this style, youre never gonna find them this cheap new (where you'll have a finish warranty and some customer service if needed). In fact, a used set is gonna be at or over the $1300 new price from DTD. If these are sitting at Mackin and being dropshipped, then everybody should have about the same pricing as DTD.

with those conservative sizes, you're right, spend the money on the house instead; it's a waste of money on wheels with weak sizes and offsets

I run 19's 9.5/10.5 combo with +22 offset all around, dropped on Tein mono flex coilovers. There is no rubbing issue, thus no fenders need to be rolled/shaved.
