Hello guys. i had a quick question about wheel offsets. I have had me 19" TSW Nardo's for over a year now. Before i ordered them i stalked this site looking at staggered setups, ath the tire sizes, offsets and what not. I saw a lot of you who ran a 9.5" rear wheel went with a 40 offset and a 275/30/r19.
My problem is when i ordered my wheels the guy covinced me i needed a 35 offset not 40. I told him about the many of storys and examples that i was on here and he said he'd put these wheels on my car before and had no problems. well this wasnt true. i recived me wheels, had the tires mounted then installed them, and they rubbed.

Anyone know if i can modify the offset?

 

Forgive me for not proof reading!

 

Do not shave off anything on the back pad. It compromises the integrity of the wheel. Some shops do it, but I wouldn't recommend anything more than 3-5mm, if you absolutely had to.

 

thats all it think i need . Shaving 5mm would take me to a 40mm offset i need. Im just looking for options. the wheels was $230+ per wheel. anything would help im thinking of lowering it one day.

 

if you are running a 275 rear tire that just really wide on a TL it works on some tl's but i think you probably should stuck with a 255 in the rear and it would have been fine.... my suggestion is just take it to a shop to have the rear fenders rolled some that would help the rubbing and save any issues with shaving the back of the rims
