I remember seeing a post regarding a special offset setup available for the Axis Milano that is fitted for the 5 series BMW's and the 350z. (costs extra-??) My questions are as follows.

1. What are the offsets? (seem to rem. 15 and 20 but not certain)
2. Any issues with a dropped car If I stay with a 275 in the rear? (1.8" all corners)


Also, assuming I keep overall diameter near stock, any forseeable issues with running a staggered front back 18"- 19" setup. I prefer the look, it saves weight, and keeps cost down on both wheels and tires. But what are the effects on the traction control? (NO VDC on my car)

Thanks for any feedback.

 

Milano's only come in 19in. so you wouldn't be able to run an 18 in the front and a 19 in the rear. It would be 19x8.5 +35 offset front and 19x9.5 +45 offset rear. The fronts need to be spaced about an inch and a half with that offset. A +15 will be available sometime next month which should be able to eliminate the need of the spacers. As far as the tires, 275/35/19 would be fine for your setup with a 245/35/19 in the front. Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to place an order. You can contact me either through the board or the 800 number below. Thanks!

Thanks for the response, I didn't realise you were guys were sponsors here. I had done some random searching and came across your site via google (best price on the Milano's I had scene by the way)


yeah, that was a brain fart on my part on the 18"/19" thing......I originally planned on going that route with the Axis Supermesh and when I switched to the Milanos it screwed me all up.

Thanks again...

 

I had mine custom drilled. +15 front, +22 rear. Costs 20 bucks extra per wheel for this offset. Clears the fenders even with the Eibach drop, no rolling required. PM me for more info.

 

so would 15 front and 20 rear work fine?

 

Any pics on your car? I tried emailing Axis with no luck. I was debating the +15 front and +20 rear.

 

yeah, mines +20 rear not +22. sorry.

 

Pics would be great if ya have them....



I'm concerened about the offsets since mine is Sso dropped. (-1.8" all the way around)


I may have to raise it a bit if I go this route...

 

He has a G35, but you can find pics in the forced induction forum, look for his install post. They look pretty nice.
