hey fellas. im finally tired of the chrome look and am joining the alloy club. just a question about fitment

19x8.5 with 45 offset or 35 offset

will they fit without crazy rub. will cutting the tabs and rolling the fenders help

rite now i ride 20x7.5 with 42 offset and no rub at all

The 35 will NOT fit. The 45 will fit if you cut tabs and possibly roll fenders.

yea 35 is a no go, but is your car lowered? if its not then the 45 offset should fit without major rubbing. probly just on tight turns

westhaventl

no the car is not lowered but i plan to...what springs would drop it just right(maybe 1 to 2 finger gap)...any ideas

searching around...the biggest rim size and offset you can go is 19x8 at a 45 offset min...as stated on the forums...Im looking into 19x 8.5 myself at 47 offset and i can say this will fit with fenders rolled and tabs cut....from doing my research...it all depends on what style rims it is...email the manufactuer,the company that carries the rims you want and ask questions through them...theyll give you some idea of what you might come across if you do go with the rim of your chose...

hey bro i got 19x8.5 and i just cut most of the rear fender out and did nuthing to the front. they rub on like big bumps but thats it. i also have it lowered with the pro kit. i say do it if you have time to do some trial and error.

What's good? I'm in CT too. Is your car NBP? I saw an NBP with a kit and big chrome wheels in New Haven a few weeks ago.

As far as springs go, I've got the Eibach Pro-kit and there's a 1-1.5 finger gap all around.

Check out the first three sticky's on the wheel/tire/suspension forum, they will answer all your questions about fitment. I have 19x8 with 45 offset..no rub after trimming down the fender tabs...wheels don't go past fender either.
