My wheel setup, is it ok? More aggresive?
I'm in the same boat. I have my eye on 19":
Volk Racing
RE30 (8" +40, +44; 8.5" +43; 9" +40; 9.5" +45)
G2(8.5" +35, +43; 9.5" +35, +42, +45), my pick at the moment
TE37(8.5" +35, +43; 9.5" +35, +43, +45)
Yokohama
Connoisseur No.51 (8.5" +38, +44; 9.5" +40)
I have narrow down my tire size to 255/35/19(closest OEM match) all around based on tire size calculator.
My plan is:
1. F 19x8.5 +35
R 19x9.5 +42
2. 19x9.5 +42 all around
3. 19x8.5 +35 all around
As I posted before, my car has MS full bodykit, will be lowered about 1" with Tein Flex line coilover.
End result that I am trying to get is
1. as aggresive as possible without rolling fender
2. won't crack fender(F/R) when going over unavoidable potholes (I have seen setup that nice and flush but fender got damaged by potholes)
3. clear BBK (Brembo or Endless)

The tires that would fit best would be 255/40-18 then.
With the +47 offset is there any chance that I would rub the strut housing with the interior of the wheel, especially on the front.
I'd like to know if someone tried that. I need to make sure before I order these expensive wheels and then realize that this setup is impossible.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a brand new set of wheels. My choice so far is the Volk CE28N which are very light.
I have two choices, either 18x9.5 or 19x9.5. I want the same size for all wheel.
Is this too wide for the front ?
I was looking to put some 255/35/19 on the 19" but have no idea of what would be best for the 18".
Please help me out, I have no idea about the offset, +34, +40, +42, +47 for the 18" or +35, +45 for the 19". I am totally lost here.
Anyone has experience with that size ? Should I aim for something conservative like a 8.5" or 9"
the reason why I am looking for these wheels is the look and the weight. 17 lbs for the 18" and 21lbs for the 19". You will understand that I have a preference for the 18". BTW I am tracking (lapping) from time to time, so the handling is very important for me.
Thanks,

Totally agreed, that's why I'm asking all this noob questions.

So if I listen to you guys, my best bet would be with 18x9.5 +47.
The tires that would fit best would be 255/40-18 then.
With the +47 offset is there any chance that I would rub the strut housing with the interior of the wheel, especially on the front.
I'd like to know if someone tried that. I need to make sure before I order these expensive wheels and then realize that this setup is impossible.

There is no point running such a high offset if you are not going to run that much tire, 30 or below would be better if you are willing to roll. 30-40 would be great without a roll.

9.5 is great, 255 will be great, 34 is the best size from the list.
+1 for some reason people here like their wheels to look like stock wheels.
45 is too high
You can go a lot more aggressive than the setup you posted.
255/40 would be great all around.

I just realized that there is no Potenza RE-11 that comes in the 255/40/18, this is sad

1. Is 19"x9.5 a little bit wide for the front? Will the steering wheel feel heavier and affect cornering or turn in?
2. Is 255/35/19 suitable for the 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear?

If you want your wheels to be as flush as the fender without rolling is not quite possible. But looks like +40 with 255 will be fine without any fender rolling and this set up will not get your wheels completely flush with the fenders. Also 255/35/19 shouldn't disrupt the speedo.
F:19x8.5 +35 (255/35)
R:19x9.5 +42 or +35 (255/35)
Unfortunately, it doens't come with +40.
Ya, I realize that it won't be flush at all, I just wanna get it as close as possible without rolling when the car is loaded and lowered as well. And there won't be any noticeable wheel/tire height difference for both front and back.

How about this setup?
F:19x8.5 +35 (255/35)
R:19x9.5 +42 or +35 (255/35)
Unfortunately, it doens't come with +40.

I have this same staggered set up, with the JIC Adjustable Camber & Toe Kit
on my GFG 3 piece wheels, ( not the ones in my signature ) I gotta admit the handling is nothing compared to stock nor any 18"s. Each rim wt is 25 lbs. My advise go for it...
F:19x8.5 +35 (255/35)
R:19x9.5 +42 or +35 (255/35)
It's just my opinion...

Wheelmania Monaco (19x8,5 and 19x10) ET35
Hi
I`m planning on getting some new wheels for my 8. There are almost none 8s here in Norway, so therefor I ask you guys. I`ve been looking at Wheelmania Monaco in 19".
Front: 19x8,5 (offset 30 or 35)
Rear: 19x10 (offset 35)
Picture of the wheel
http://bilprodukter.no/html-sider/ki...-kingsize.html
I`m planing on 235 for the front and 275 for the rear. Will this fit with the 35 offset? One important thing is that I`ve already rolled my fenders.
Picture of my car with OEM wheels. It`s not easy to see, but if you look closely you can see that I have rolled the fenders. They stick a litte more out than original.

Will lower offset make the wheel stick out more?
In other words, will 19x10 ET45 stick out less than 19x10 ET35?

Ok, I posted this in the other thread, and now i realize this is where I should ask. I have the Black Chrome Stock 18's and want to go with the staggered look. I have 225-45-18 kumho spt's on the front. What size for the rear do I need? I want to go the widest I can go on the back without changing the wheel?
