19x9 with 44 offset...any issues?

About to order some Lexion wheels....19x9 all around w/ a 44 offset....should I have any problems? I'll probably run 245/35 tires as well

Yep, problems as 9-inch wide inthe front won't clear the suspension. At least the 9-inch ones I tried would not. Then again it was a diffferent offset (+38 I think)...

I have a set of 18x9, ET45 w/ 245/40/18 and my tires clears the front suspension by about 3mm.

Very tight fit.. but looks fine.

since the overall height does not change (bigger the rim, thinner the tire) only width matters... (9" wide rims with 44mm offset.)

Yeah.......that will work with no problems but probaly try to do 19x8.5, the 19x9's might stick out a little in the front but it won't cause you any problems when you turn left or right.

What about rubbing and stuff? I wish they had 8.5, but 9 is all they have

How much do you think it'll stick out?

Why bother in getting those wheels.Are they(lexion)the only wheels that will look nice in our car?What if in the future u decided to change it for another set of wheels and u need to sell those.IMO,it will be a hard sell

Hey Kenny........I see that you have purchase some wheels, they look alright but you're going to need some tires. Are those 19x9's?

No, his wheels with the +44 will stick OUT 1mm more than your +45. I feel like a offset nazi here, but there seems to be a lot of people here without a real understanding of wheel fitting.

Hate to throw cold water on the 19x9's but you may want to check out this thread by Hondasaurus on his efforts with the Teins Basics (direct quote but I don't know what offsets he was workign with)..."19x8.5 is the best fit. Now that it's lowered, I know that the 19x9 will definitely rub. Thanks for those that have made comments on the other thread....

I believe you would be able to fit the 19x9 with 235/35-19 tires. The rear would fit for sure, but the front might be tight, but it will fit. I don't think your wheel would stick out either, it should sit very flush to the fender.

I just ordered a set of 17x9 wheels with +45mm offset, hopfully it will fit fine.

19x9 will fit the front with a 10mm spacer, you'll only lose 2mm inner clearance. Go with the 245 because on the 9" rim it will be scretched a little. 245 is usually perfect for a 8.5". If you drop your car, you will probably need to roll the front fenders.

*EDIT*even with a 5mm spacer it might work, you'll lose 7mm inner clearance and pull the wheels in a little more.
