Default Customizing wheels need offset suggestions.

Before I go to the wheel shop to use spacers to get an exact measurement of what I need I am wondering if any wheel guru's can make some suggestions on offsets for what I am doing.

I have 2 sets of RH evolution S3 pro wheels... 19x9+26 ,10.5+22.

I am having the 2 piece wheel seperated. It will be face and barrels.
I am aware there may be issues with it being put back together if everything isn't perfectly aligned so no need to flame on the process. All I am looking for is suggestions on offsets for what is to come.

I am having the rear barrels swapped to the front faces, since the disc shape differs from front to rear. I will then have a 19x10.5 front ??? what offset to run a stretched tire and wheels flush with fenders?

THE REARS! I have my fenders rolled and I am sitting on BC coilovers with camber and tow kit, My plan is to run a 19x12 with close to 2.75-3^ camber. Again, I am not sure what offset I will need with the wheel being widened on the front and rear sides.

any suggestions are welcome!

If your gonna run a 10.5 in the front, I would suggest a +15 and lower...

Any side shots of the car standing still?

Nice car BTW

F +5 / R +0

on stock fenders i think this is going to look best w/o losing function.

so you want to keep your "old" wheels??if so try this link to see which offset the rims should have (in comparisino to your old setup)http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
if you´re planing on buying some new wheels, i would say a 9,5 +12 and 10,5 +12 would just be fine

^ he'll need flattened or cut/pulled fenders and well sized tires.
+12 is nowhere near "good" fitment at this point. trust me, been
there done that.

+12 is weak!!

My new Work Meisters are going to be:
19x10 / 19x11
-7 offset all around.
225/35 & 255/35 Falken FK452

Do you want a cookie or something. We don't really care, not everyone wants hellagay or hellastupid offsets like your with tiny tires.

if I did that with the wheels as they sit I think that might be where I would like to be... but you have to take into consideration I am adding 1.5" to the front and to the rear.


I like that stanced look and I think the stretch with the tires I have will pull the tire enough to get it under the wheel well. I may need a 295 with the 12 in the back though. I know I need to go lower but I have monstrous speed bumps in the area I live now so I will be moving to get away from them.

I don't want the wheels to poke out at the top where it meets the fender I would like that flush or cambered under. if that helps for an idea of what I am looking for.

Swang n Bang.com has some really sick rides. I am looking for something similar to the way the eclipses wheels are.

how about the good old VOLK GT-S ??? 9.5 +17 and 10.5 +18 absolutly beautiful and you don´t have to cut or roll any fenders (if you´re not that lowered). i can place 2 fingers between the fender and the tire and have no rubbing at all!! i know they´re hard to get but maybe a vendor has a set laying around in there shop



my car with GT-S (just for an idea of what it could look like)....maybe a titanium gunmetal would look nice on yours

Hardcore, I bet you've got exceptional handling and performance with that setup.

Or are you limited to cruising around town on friday and saturday nights with your windows down and "50 cent" playing out of your 60" subs?

OP flu should check out the aggressive and stetch tires thread and look around and see what you like and what's best for you and meets ur needs. There are plenty of ways u can go around.

I think you will be better off getting 245/35 in the rear.

Let's leave the ignorance out of here .i know that not everyone likes the slammed offset look. Displaying your taste doesn't get me closer to what i am looki g for. I havent seen anyone with 10.5 fronts and 12 rears which is why i started this thread.
Xm i do this to be unique although those are nice, they are not the wheels I want. I like to customize and have something most people can not get. Hence the body mods , color, and engine swapthats in progress

Ooh as well as the all suede interior. I don't do it because it's the easy choice. I like classy but extreme.

I listen to country, i have a gf and a child, so it doesn't leave much time to cruise. I am also going back to school and that inhibits the cruise to "Fity" time. Although my sophmore year of college in 2002 " it's your birthday" was the hotness

Silver - my advice was legit. If you're dead serious about a custom fit
you need to take some precise measurements of the wheel hub to get
a feel for the overall wheel center... Then think about how aggro you
want it to be.

Thanks man. I do realized that you were being legit. No worries there. Some people don't really understand what we do or why we do it. I am going to try to make it to the shop tomorrow to get some measurements.
