Rims on their 7th Gen Max MEGA Thread!
#1483
Is +45mm too high of an offset for an 8.5" wide wheel? I'm looking at 20 and 22 inch wheels. I'm worried that the wheel will sit too far inside the wheel well and look silly. Will likely use 245mm tires. Any thoughts?
#1484
imo yea its too high. but you could just use spacers.to make it 40 or 35

I have 245/30/22 22x8.5 +35 offset. front rubs a little when i hit a dip too fast. no rub in back. but i like how they are flush with the fenders so im glad i got this offset.

Thanks

I have 22x9 +38 offset in front with 255/30/22, and they rub a little. I did have to modify the inside fender well. Before i had this set my previous set was 22x8.5 +38 with 245/30/22 and it was perfect, very slight rub, with no modifications.
#1493
With the 22x9s and 255s, what exactly did you have to modify? This is a used set that I'm looking at, so I have the option to get 245/30/22 size tires put on them, but I'd only be willing to spend that if it would mean no rubbing. Do you think the 22x9s with 245s would rub?

I have the following setup on my 11' Max:
20” x 8.5” Marcello MT-02 in Magnesium Black w/ Machined Lip
Continental 255/35/ZR20
Eibach Lowering Springs
The front tires just barely make it by the inner wheel well when you turn the wheel all the way. I think the 22" with 255 have a higher center of gravity and that might be why they rub a little.

Debating on whether or not to try on a set of Foose Speedsters I have laying around... They are 20's in chrome... I'd have to buy lugs to use them... Im not a huge fan of a five star wheel on these cars. What do you all think?

If sticking with a 19, what's the best size (width wise) front and rear and correct offset to have them not sit so tucked under the car?
Was figuring 19x8.5 +35mm up front and 19x9.5 +40 out back.
Lowered with an Eibach pro kit.

What do you about this look? I've got mixed feelings.

I'm looking a precision gray.

I know it's been asked before - anyone know the specs on the stock 18's. It may be a pretty light wheel.
