I believe ive seen several people on this site with 19x8.5 rims i assume with a 45+ offset. I'm looking at getting these Neeper Moxy rims in the summer, but was wondering about the fitment. I'd run 225/35/19 tires. I have coilovers. The specs are 19x8.5 45+ . Any thoughts on fitment??

Im not asking if they look good, i already know they do

Theres also 20x8.5 45+, but i would think thats pushing it. Any way i could make them fit? lol.

 

I have the same question.. i'm from the 3G TL forum and am selling my rims to someone with a 2G CL. The rims are 19x8.5 (all 4) with a +45 offset wrapped in 235/35/19 tires. He has a drop but it's not too serious. Will they fit? I see everyone in this forum has a 7.5 or an 8" width but can't really seem to find 8.5. Anyone have an answer?

 

notorious, with a 225, the tire should fit right into the fender. you might need a slight fender roll in the back, just because our fender tabs stick downwards. if your gonna roll your fender tho i dare you to rock those dubs, your just not gonna be able ride low or else you'll rub the front for sure.

brian, those 8.5's will fit the cl pretty good. the guy will just need to bend the back fender tabs with a bat or something.

 

front will for sure rub on full lock turns.

rear might be able to fixed with fender roll, but that wont fix the tabs the other user is talking about. those will have to be shaved and moved back about an inch.

GL. im thinking about selling my 19s and running some new 19s that are 9" wide next summer.

 

Mike roll all fenders with a 225 tire and you will be fine and whenever youre ready to roll them just holla..

 

there's really nothin to roll in the front...

I'm running a 18x8.5 with a 235/40/18. I am limited in how far I can drop because it WILL rub. My buddy has the same rim but runs a 225 and has no issues.

I was willing to give up some drop for more rubber on the road but that forced me to go with coilovers (he's running comptech springs).

 

i have a problem with 19x8.5 +45 with 235/35/19 thats why i want to get 225/35/19 but i heard its bad streching your tires so iam stuck and dont know what to do

 

My buddy ran a 225 on his 8.5's. It was a serious bitch to mount the tires and his sidewalls offered no curb protection.

He did drive like an absolute nut though and never had an issue with his skinny tire fat rim set up.

 

k so with a 225 and some fender work rockin the 19x8.5's should be fine is the message im getting. any thoughts on the 20s? dont make a statement unless you know from experience please cuz i know most people will just automatically write it off but from what ive heard it has been done...

 

the man has spoken...el padrino...haha...yea Mike do what u gotta do and hit up the TSV homies for the fender roll when ur ready...you should be ok...considering the ridiculous fitments the ViP guys run lol

 

i am looking for a camber kit and clutch

 

It will work, but it would be a pain in the ass dealing with day after day...as stated earlier, the front will rub a decent amount of time. If you don't mind going a little slower here and there it shouldn't bother you too much with those 8.5's.

I have 8" +45 with a 235 tire....personally, I would not go ANY wider than I am now.

Here's some pics of a CL slammed on 20's.

dude thats not even that much of a stretch. 215 can fit on a 9". 225 are rocked on 9" rims all the time. you just gotta find a spot that can mount a tire that stretched. its pretty hard so you might have trouble finding somewhere that'll do it. theres people on this board with 2g tl's with 225 on 9" rear and a 38 offset. it fits fine if you have at least a minor fender roll

 

word. probly gonna go with the 19s. id rather sacrifice an inch of rim for more of a drop and better fitment.

 

thanks guys so i guess iam going to go with the 225/35/19

 

if u put a wider rim, say 8.5 or 9 what offset should you run...

 

what's up lippstuh...well the wider the rim, the higher offset that you'll need on our cars to help compensate for the extra width...unless you're going for the ViP style look, and want to go the route of stretched tires/running negative camber to stuff them in for the most aggressive fit...there's no set configured offset that you "should" run...it all really depends on what type of fitment you want, what the purpose is and what modifications you're willing to make in terms of fender rolling or shaving, and stretching tires/neg camber to make them fit...or if you want to do none of the above and just want a direct no-rubbing fit (in this case i would suggest a 19x8 +50 or higher which is a pretty much safe fit but def not a wimpy looking fit either, gives you a wider wheel but also has high offset to keep you from rubbing for the most part)...hope that helps man...and if its stuff you already knew, then well maybe that can help someone else from buying poorly fitting wheels lol...if anyone can chime in with their advice, please do

 

i have 20"x8.5 with a 35mm offset... i was okay with no rubbing when the suspension was stock... but now since its been lowered it rubs on big dips.

 

I have 20x7.5 dropped 1 1/2-2 in and they will rub in the back even if you roll the fenders if you have passenger or heavy items in the trunk. It will shave a bit of tire if your taking corners fast as well.. Riding by myself I usually dont rub at all.

 

im runnin 235/35/19 with a 19x8.5 +45 and i only rub with 3 passengers or really big dips. i dont carry people often so im happy as hell. im on tein basics, but not all the way down. i love the wide look. i say go with my setup

 

how would 18x8.5 +50 fit? tires 245/40/18. would more narrow tires help?

 

8.5 +50 fitment is pretty conservative and should'nt have rubbing. however 245 is pretty wide. it should fit but may have some occassional rub. i would at least go with a 235 tire.

i have 8.5" +45 right now with a 235/40 and a 1.5" drop. i will only rub if i have people in the back seat. but even then, its not the fender that rubs. what rubs is the rear bumper tab. overall i'm really happy with it. no rubs ever with just me in the car and it sits nice and flush.

 

my drop is pretty low right now, its basically no finger, more like -.5 to -1 finger gap. i'll probably raise it when i get my lip kit since i scrap on a speed bumps


thanks =D

 

245 is going to rub itself flat @your ride height.

 

how much those running you?

 

got a quote for under 2000 for the rims and tires. but i get a hookup where i go. Beyond Image in Union NJ. My guy there said he put 19x8.5's on his girls 03 TL with no rubbing issues. I didnt ask if she was dropped though. But he knows bout my drop (about 1 finger all around) and says ill be fine.

 

fyi you can fit a 10 inch wide if you arent dropped.
