![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
do you guys think that 19 x 9.5 with 20mm offset with 275/19/35 tires is too much for the rear wheels? what about 19 x 8 with 35mm for the front, would it rub when wearing 245/19/35 tires? i have tein springs on my car, so it's sitting 1.3 inch lower. i need some skooling about offset, i only know a little bit.
thanks

I've been trying to make some of the same decisions. 275/30-19's (using 9.5" rims) will work in the back (the 35's don't work but there are others runningf the 30's in the pics section of this forum) In the front you have to go down to a significantly smaller wheel. I'm not certain how small that is yet as I too am awaitign some additional information from some of the dealers/drivers who are more familiar. I like the look of the Maya STM's and they come in an 8.5 and 9" width for the 19" wheel but they are also VERY pricey. Seems the less expensive rims only come in certain offsets and skinnier widths (say an 8" rim)
Since the TL is a front-wheel drive some say the larger wheels on the rear look "funny". They also slow the car down (more weight). If that's the look you want you can still do it just be aware that those who KNOW this is a front wheel drive car will wonder what your thinking.

very true about the weight... really all i want in order 2 b satisfied is to have rims with a nice lip that is deeper on the rear, and also is further out so that it lines up more with the fender flare...

35mm will work with a 245/35/19.......you can do a 19x8.5 all around or you can do a 19x8.5 front & 19x9.5 or 19x10 in the rear with no rubbing. This was the setup I was going for before I went for the 20s.

i want the wheels to line up with the fender flares. i see that 19 x 8 with 35mm does it for the front, but would 19 x 9.5 20mm be safe for the rear?

for the size rims i want, they only offer 20mm and 40mm. and i def want a nice lip, the 20mm will move the wheel out .9 inch from the inside and outside. would that fit ok?

You DO realize that the 10" wide rim WILL give you the bigger lip (EVEN with the 35 offset), right? You can get the EXACT same setup K-Shawn has by going 10" rears and 35 offset. Afterall, that's what he has. What is your obsession with the 20 offset? Are they "super cheap or something with that offset? If so, it doesn't matter if they are free if THEY WON'T FIT ON THE FRIGGING CAR!!!!

Use the +45 offset to be safe. Iwould highly advise not using anything lower than a +40 offset. If you purchase a multi piece wheel you can get bit more lip however when using a 1 piece wheel you asthetic values are a bit limited.

I assume u r refering to the 9.5" width wheel?
actually i sort of have the same problem with HQTL6SPD. the wheels i want only comes in 20mm or 40mm but they r 8" width...
i know 8" with 20mm should fit nicely at the back(25mm outward compare to stock). however, am i asking for trouble if i have 8" with 20mm at the front (25mm outward) ?

All the guys running the Privat Netz are running the 30 offset in a 19x8" wheel and some of them have the Brembos. Are you saying that is dangerous or is it based on a wheel by wheel thing? Also, pretty certain you cannot run the 9.5" width at the front at all, right?
