Hey guys, I came across an amazing deal for sevas wheels. (I think...)
One thing that worries me is the offset though.

Sevas s-stars $699.99 shipped

19x8.5 fronts +20
19x9.5 rears +20

Anyway at all to make this setup work on our 3G TL's?

 

That is a very aggressive offset. According to the wheel offset calculator your going to have 44 mm more rim sticking out of the rear and 31 mm more in the front. this may cause rubbing when you turn or hit bumps because the wheels may stick out past the fenders. some people like that look, i personally do not. also sevas have the reputation of cracking under duress

 

do it.. just stretch your tires and you'll be ok... my wheels stick out a little past my fenders and i had my fenders rolled and tires stretched and it looks good!!

 

you got pics?

 

Stretching your tires is alright but then your rims are exposed to the elements. Up to you if you want to be careful EVERYWHERE you drive and hope you dont scratch the hell out of your rims.

 

1. Brand of Rim - Work XD-9
2. Rim size (diameter and width) - Front 17 x 9.5 Rear 18 x 10
3. Offset - Front + 17 Rear + 18
4. Brand of tire - Federal 595 RS
5. Tire size - Front 235/40/17 Rear 245/40/18
6. Drop Type and Amount - S.Techs
7. Do they rub - Negative
8. Transmission type (use of spacers if 6MT) - Base Auto, Clears Rotora BBK barely on diameter.

^ Damn thats hella aggressive!

I just dunno if it will work with 19's ...

 

umm ill take a couple pics tomorrow and post it up for you

 

pfffffffffff, that's not aggressive at all. That's WEAK!! jk

aggressive offset for 3g TL: -10 to -20

 

lol i think the 10s and 20s offsets are the new thing these days.. 30 something on a 9.5 or 10" isn't all that anymore.

As soon as I get new tires, I'm throwing on 19x8.5 +22 19x9.5 +22 volks and they seem to be really flush, if anything, little poke.

 

I believe anything works, just need some modificaions to the fenders/tire stretching/camber
