z5000

hey guys i think i am gonna buy some 19 inch raacing hart z5000 from wheelmax.com

and i heard horror stories about them that they will give you the wrong size if you specify the right size.

i was wondering what exact number i should give them for ordering these wheels.

like offset and 19x?

i dont want it to rub and dont want to have to modify the fenders or car for it not to hit.

i dont have any springs or suspension done it completly stock for now.

i believe it's like all 19" rh evos wheels...only comes in the 7.5" width and +44mm offset. you might want to verify. you also might want to consider 225/35 instead of 235s.

i was goin 2 get those rims but the rims are now discontinued so i when with the gt5 in silver 19 wrap in 235/35 tires but i would recommend 225 so you dont have to shaved the fender. since its still stock you dont have to worry

offset is the distance between the hub and the wheel's centerline (widthwise).



you should see that a higher positive offset would allow a rim to be positioned deeper into the wheel well so you have less chances of rubbing the fender. but too high of a positive offset means the tiire will rub along the back of the wheel well. if you go with a moderately wide rim, you will probably need the one "perfect" offset to make it work (with possible rubbing). now if you get a fairly narrow rim, you can go with a range of offsets which will make your job easier and give you more choices. please note tire width still factors into the equation but i think you get the idea.

a zero or negative offset wheel will not work on our cars.
