I was hoping someone could post some pictures of a silver Type S with 19" Axis Pentas. I'm thinking about getting these rims but wanted to see how they looked on my car before getting them.

I've seen a few 3G's with 19" Axis Penta's but none of them are Type S or silver. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think anyone on here has a silver type S with Axis pentas. Here is a silver base TL with Axis Pentas though.

They have them on Wheel Max for $243 a piece which is a good price. I'm not that educated on wheels and such so I was wondering if I could get some help. Wheel Max has the rims in 19x8.5 with either 35mm or 45mm offset. Which one should I get? Also, I keep seeing people talk about spacers. Do I need those? Thanks for the help.

^^^ get the 35mm offset....not sure but u may need the spacers to clear the brembos. i would pm the guy that has the pentas on the base TL cus his car was a 6MT so you all share the brembos too

You will need spacers for the front in order to clear your brembos. You definately want the 35mm offset and you will need at least a 5mm spacer up front. I would run the 9.5s in the rear but if you are going to run the 8.5s in the rear I would add another 10-15mm spacer for the rear.

So regardless of the rims offset, I will still need spacers? Are there any rims where I won't need spacers?

Sorry for all the question..I never had to deal with spacers when I got rims for my 2G TL.

I am wanting to get the same wheels on my TL-S and was wondering the same questions about spacers, and what about the wheel studs? will the factory ones work ok?

i just ordered a set of 5mm spacers.. got them yesterday and tried putting my axis pentas(+35 offset) on but the brembos are still in the way! but the guy with the silver tl w/ pentas only used a 5mm spacer in the front.. My luck sucks lol

Damn that does suck. Return them and get 10mm. 10mm will look better anyways it will sit more flush. I actually just picked up some 10mm spacers for my front wheels. My fronts are 19x9 +35 and they clear Brembos fine, but I just want them to sit more flush with the fender.

couldnt he just get a 45 offset?

hey AnthraciteAspec,

if i get 10mm spacers in front, what should i get in the back?

45 offset would be worse. Then he would need like 20mm spacers to clear the BBK. Plus 45 offset looks like crap.

Back is 8.5 also? You are going to want like at least 15mm in the back. It all depends on how flush you want it to sit, how low you are, concerned about rubbing, fenders rolled, etc etc

As it stands though, with a 10mm spacer up front will put u at +25mm offset, which is pretty aggressive. And will sit nice with the fender, almost flush. If you are super low you are going to rub when turning on driveways and stuff with this for sure.

my car has about one finger gap on tein ss.. so would i rub?

the thing is.. i bought the axis pentas with the seller telling me it's a +35 offset.. but if it is a 35 offset a 5mm spacer should be fine.. right?

maybe its a 40 offset.. i think for now i will put 10 mm spacers up front and 5 mm spacers in back til i get more money to buy 15 mm spacer
