Ok, so i just bought a set of TSW Volcano Wheels in hyperblack with tires. there 19x8 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. 245/35r19 in the front, and 275/35r19 in the rear. So i checked it on a tire calculator it seems to be a perfect fit, its less then 0.5% difference. Does anyone know what the offset is for these rims? I wasnt able to find it. And would these rims raise my car or stick out, stick in? I just want to make sure if they rims would fit my car correctly...Eventhough i should of done this b4 i bought them, but i got them on Ebay and didnt have enough time to research. i have stock springs. Also if anyone has pictures of a Z with these wheels that would be GREAT! Thanks!!

 

almost all wheels are sold with an option of different offsets. if you have the wheels already you can actually measure the offset..hopefully they are somewhat close to the right offsets because if you bought them just because of the bolt pattern matches they can still be wayyy off.

 

Look on the back of the wheels somewhere for an offset. Usually it's a number.

 

Unless the offset is stamped on the wheel there is no way to tell. Just put them on the car. Use caution tightened the lug nuts. They may not clear the brake calliper. Or you may be pressing the tire against a suspension component.

 

I havent received the rims yet. But i did check on a couple websites and it was compatible with the 350z with brembo brakes. And that person that sold it to me said it was for a 350z or g35 and most other RWD japanese cars.

 

and what would be a good offset for these wheels? 25-35?

 

I sense buyers remorse. Keep us updated.

 

It will be OK. Many wheel retailers will tell you if a wheel fits but not the offset. They just do a offset comparison with the OEM wheel and give you a conservative fit.

 

Are these the wheels, these are +42 & +40...

 

No those pics you posted are 19x8 all around. ill post the ebay link----

hmmm, good luck hopefully they will look great on your car..

 

yea i hope so, i could not find a single Z with these rims on it...so i guess ill have no idea what it will look like till i put them on

 

My guess is they will be a bit tucked..just guessing. Nothing some spacers can't fix.

 

ya i should of researched more before i bought them, but i got them for so god damn cheap..so i dont have any regrets

 

why with such bad offset would they advertise those for specifically G's and Z's

Post some pics when their mounted. But as teh215 stated spacers will do the trick...30mm all around :/

 

the seller didnt say what the offset was...thats what im trying to figure out. the pictures that Rowlet posted are the wrong rims. i attached a ebay link

 

This is weird. I checked TSW's website and they only list the Volcano's in 15"-17". So maybe the pictures that Rowlet posted ARE Volcano's and you just have the wrong name. Can YOU post a pic of them? Either way I have TSW's and the offset is stamped on the back of one of the spokes... its a small number inside of a circle. If its a 19" TSW it maaaay be +20

 

BRAND: TSW
MODEL: Volcano
COLOR: Hyperblack (Gunmetal)
SIZE: 19x8
BOLT PATTERN: 5x114.3 (5x4.5)
OFFSET: +40

Just a set of wheels I found on the internet.

It looks like your offsets will most likely be pretty high. You'll need some spacers to bring them out.

Expect to get spacers in the 20-25mm range to bring them out decently. Maybe even 30mm.

 

^^+1 at least 20mm spacers all the way around are gonna be needed

 

DA-YUM! 20mm spacers would suck. I wouldn't get the wheels then....


...just my
