I'm debating to either go with 18x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear Or 19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear on my cattman coilovers. I was going to go with a +40 on the rear but I'm afraid it will stick out to much for me to tuck. Being that I have a 4th gen, would this be ok or would I need a +42? These are the wheels I'm going with http://www.hubcap-tire-wheel.com/ima...cing-r281b.jpg
Thanks in advance.

 

i would love to see the answer for this cause im thinking about 19X8.5 fronts and 19X9.5 rear 3.25" lip +35 offset on my 5th gen.......... but to answer your question theres a guy running 18X9.5 all around on his 4th gen either +35 or +38 offset, so yeah it should fit, i had 20X8.5 +35 on my 4th gen lowered on eibachs and it was fine

 

hes running it but they will not tuck. i don't think a 9.5 40 will either, and 2mm isn't gonna help.

if you want to tuck i would go for something in an 8.5/9 low/mid 30s offset.

better than all that would be slammed and flush.18s arent that big in relation to 4g wheel wells. it takes a lot to tuck 18s. a 9.5 35mm with a rolled lip should work well.

 

I think I may go with 19's.You don't think a +42 would do? The Higher the offset the flusher the wheel would sit right?

 

no... low offset pushes the wheel out.

a 9.5 +42mm should be just short of flush, but probably not enough to tuck.

 

the rear would be flush but i dont think you could tuck, unless you roll the fenders as stated cause i may be in the same predicament

 

Yea thats what I meant, meaning the higher the offset the more the wheel sits in the wheel well. What about 44mm or a 45mm? What would be just right to tuck?

 

Yeah I think I'm going to roll the fenders. That should help significantly

 

you might make it with a +45. i am waiting on my 9.5 +45 to show up but i have fender mods (rolled, raidused, and soon to be smoothed out which will narrow it a little) and will add a small spacer to be flush (if needed).

 

As soon as you get those you gotta post pics man

 

i post pics of everything in my build thread, although i doubt they will be what you are looking for. its not a mount and drive situation.

 

I'm running 9.5's with +40 offset, you will need to pull the fenders slightly, and a nice roll to the fenderwells.

And stretched tires are going to be a must in this situation, unless you want to do a LOT of fender work.

It's just about flush.



Reference shot.

 

You should be fine with +40 and rolled fenders to tuck...maybe a little higher to be safe...I am dead flush with the fender with +35...

 

judging by the pics i from lous i would think 45 would be needed to tuck. remeber we're talking mm here.

 

prolly gonna need more than that. looks like the wheel is sticking out about 5-8mm in that shot. to be able to clear without really working the fenders, you'll need a +50 or so at that width.. and good luck finding that.

And make sure the required offset is the same for both sides. the scott-russel linkage on 4/5 gens is better than a panhard bar, but you still get some side-side misalignment as the car gets lower. that means you may have to wind up with a +40 on one side of the car and a +50 on the other if you're going really low. (so you'd buy a pair of +50 wheels and use a spacer on the side that's tucking more.
even with my 3 gen with IRS, I've run into that. don't' know exactly, but I run a 17x8+22 on one side and a 17x8+27 on the other.

 

Please bear in mind the angle of the shot, it's almost a perfect flush.

I would go +45 to +48 just to be safe.

 

Very good point Matt!!!

Mine is definitely misaligned, but its not very severe at only a couple mm...only dropped 1.5 inches though...

9.5 +50 would be very hard to find indeed...only a few cars come to mind with offsets like those...

If you have the tools/knowledge to do it, your best bet would be to get 9.5 +40-45 and do a roll and pull...

 

Speaking of rolling and pulling...

I will be posting a walkthrough (tutorial) on mine within the month (when I get off my butt and do it!). I will be doing it on a 20" wheel, though. The process/width/offset should be the same, however.

 

How would a +45mm 19x9.5 rear be affected with a BBK? Would there be any issues of clearance?

 

Whats the link to your build thread?

 

easiest way is to check out my cardomain page (linked in sig).

 

You want to add a BBK for the rear? You really don't need it for your average weekend car...

In any case, brake clearence is mostly dependent on spoke design, NOT offset...

Sweet! Should be very beneficial...especially since most people here on the org are so afraid of the idea...

 

whos scared? i laugh at roll and pulls...

 

 

Notice I said MOST

Seriously though...most org members are too ***** **** to fit the car on the wheels rather than the wheels on the car With the exception of a few members...

 

So is it safe to say 19x9.5 rear with a +45mm offset would be good to go with. I don't mind rolling or pulling my fenders either for lower offset if I need to.

 

i'm really wondering if you will be low enough to tuck or should just go for a nice flush fitment. for a 4g to tuck 19s you have to be very low.

 

19x8.5 / 19x9.5 40mm offset all the way around and I tucked. I'm just saying.

 

5G have more room.

 

I'm on coilovers, I should be able to lower 3inches and more, but I would be satisfied with a flush fitment.

 

well for flush my reccomendation is 8.5/9.5 +35mm. coilovers (especially single tap) will probably not get you so low that i would go tuck. some people consider tucking tires tucked but i say you have to be covering a couple inches of wheel. thats not gonna happen.

i would say roll a flush 18 or 19, roll your fenders and run whatever stretch you might need for clearance.

 

just though id mention i have some 19x8.5/9.5 +35mm mrr hr2 i will be selling as soon as my new wheels show up.



bought for out of the box flushness.

 

Would +45mm be overkill on the rears for 19/9.5?
