Okay I got a quote, $1450 for 19x8 BSA 291 Rims in Silver on Falken 225-35/19 Tires. Problem is the offset is +35mm. Guy at the shop swears it will fit perfectly flush with the vehicle (which is what I want); keep in mind I will be doing Comptech Springs/Rear Camber shortly after. From what I've been reading though that +35mm offset just sure as hell wont work. He swears it'll fit perfect. This is from www.Bestwheel.com got it trhough this month's edition of sportcompactcar. I need oppinions... I'm mostly worried about that offset... If i'm reading the wheel fitment guide correctly... this simply will not work. Need opinions before I order please.

Dan Martin

Well if he swears they will fit, get him to put it in writing and let us know how it goes...

97AcuraCL

Well I'm on a budget; I'm 19 I busted my butt in overtime for a month to get these. I'm doing this and dont want any kind of issues. I want your oppinions before I go experiementing with him; dont have time for that kinda work.

Dan Martin

Well if he will guarantee you that they'll fit, what do you have to lose?

I'd still go for something around 45+.

97AcuraCL

I dont know for some reason I dont really trust his tone. I dont care tho so long as they fit. But we have wheel guru's on the board that have experience in this stuff and should know before I go waste my time and order these. Next thing you know he starts singing that he wont refund my money and just give me an exchange or something. I dont like anything esle they have to offer; I dont wanna screw myself outat 1500 for something that doesn't look good or fit right. I worked too hard for this cash to half ass it... so i'm doing my research... guys give me some good advice... fit? yaay or nayy?

dabuda

i say nay, since they are 8" wide with +35 offset...

hey dzuy, what's the offset on ur 19"s?

SAZABI

I say no too...
my TE37 is 7.5" wide + 40 offset, it sticks out few mm already
so, even if no rubbing, you are expecting the wheel gonna stick out for about 15mm more?

97AcuraCL

I have no idea; teach me. I dont want it to stick out at all; perfectly flush if not slightly tucked

97AcuraCL

If i were looking at a 19x8 wheel... what kind of offset would I need then to have it flush/slightly tucked?

what if i were looking at 19x7.5" wheel? what offset whould I be looking for then?

SAZABI

if you want 19", most likely it is gonna be 8" width.
I think you are looking at offset around 45-48

Try the wheel gallery, see what those people have =)

Looking at those... is 5x114 the same thing as 5x114.3?

BlackTSX

I know there was someone with a 40 mm offset wheel but not sure if it was 7.5 or 8 inch wide. And i know there are some 18*8s with a 45 offset, so i would trying and find somethin around mid to upper 40's, possibly you could squeeze a 42 under there but i would try and find a 45 or higher.


About ebay....as far as i know those are the same measurements

dabuda

yeah should the same, i think he just didnt put the .3

BlackTSX

just make sure the olffset is correct i saw those and emailed him and the first time he said he didnt know and to contact axis, so you might want to double check his offset measurment, in that sixze they only come in 35 and 45

97AcuraCL

Cool now my only concern with the ones on e-bay is wether or not thats hyper silver or hyper black. Hyper silver would be fine... but thy look too dark to be hyper silver... dont they?

SAZABI

mine is +40, but 7.5 width

I heard this from a friend but I am not sure how valid this is:
He told me that some cheaper wheels actually manufactured as 114, not 114.3. You can still fit those on 114.3 pattern, but u definitely need a hub ring, and they are not perfect fit.
(don't flame me on this if this is wrong)

97AcuraCL

u say not a perfect fit. what is the effect of that mis/matched fit? will they fall off on me? do they wobble? is it unsafe? what would that fit effect?

Axis rims are i thought one of the better 'name' companies out there... i'm not sure but i dont think they would drill em' cheapily (if i'm making any sense here)

SAZABI

The friend who told me this used to have Motegi wheels. He said just need a hub ring, and the nuts are a bit harder to put on... He used it for a month and no problems yet.

dzuy

i have 19 x 8 +43. i don't know if +35 would fit. he should call racing zone.

dzuy

i called brian at racing zone, he says that a 19 x 8 +35 offset is not a good idea

dzuy

probably would need a 225/40-19 tire.

dzuy

i don't know, if you guys are going to ask me, but i do remember hearing that fwd honda's usually need at least a +40

dzuy

so my advice is no, you shouldn't get it

dzuy

and oh yea, that guy on ebay means 5x114.3

dzuy

hope that helps you man

dabuda

thanks dzuy

i like how you spread out your answer in 7 posts

PW!

97AcuraCL

dzuy thanks man i was considering giving brian a call... been so long since i've been up there with my CL i doubt he'll even remember me. I'm really starting to like these hagens i found on e-bay... i'm just not sure if its hyper black or hyper silver... it looks dark in the pictures.

BlackTSX

you can search a few other sites for the rims, and see if you can get a better idea for the color

xizor

I crunched some numbers for you from this site

(vs. the stock 215/50/17 17x7 +55 stocks)

225/35/19 19x8 +35
Your wheel will stick out 1.287in more than stock

225/40/18 18x7.5 +42 (my SSRs, which barely tuck under)
Your wheel will stick out 0.761in more than stock

215/50/17 17x7.5 +40 (SAZABI's TE37 which stick out slightly)
Your wheel will stick out 0.84in more than stock

225/35/19 19x8 +45 (the ebay ones)
Your wheel will stick out 0.893in more than stock

225/42/19 19x8 +42 (dzuy's)
Your wheel will stick out 1.011in more than stock

From the sound of it, those +35 are going to be way way out. dzuy said he has no problems rubbing w/ a drop and his 19", so up to that is probably reasonable.

And IMO 235/35/19 is a better size for a 8" wide wheel. You get more thread, and ~0% speedo error, unless it'd make the wheels rub, who knows.

SAZABI

yup whatever u do, don't go below 40.

duzy to write in one message lol

dzuy

i've got +43

dzuy

and that's not my tires size

it's 235/35-19 +43offset. let me do some numbers.

dzuy

.972 sticking out. wow. cool. xizor is a great resouce.

dzuy

sometimes i think he knows too much. that's a scary thing.

dzuy

dzuy

that feels great coming from you!

You guys were a great help. Thanks. I think I'm gonna go with Hagens in a+45 offset... just gotta save up a bit more. My e-bay account is suspended beacuse i owe ebay .5cents... I've just been too lazy to update my billing info on it and my credit card payment of 5 cents wont clear by the time that auction ends... (sucks) But thats okay beacuse I wanna wait till I head up to Orlando this weekend to check out Brian and see what he can do for me.
