Just a quick question guys, i recently purchased 19" mags with a crazy offset of +50.
I had completely forgot about the size of the front caliper.
I drive a GS350 2007 awd and was wondering what offset would be enough to clear the calipers ?
Im thinking about getting 15-20mm spacers. Luckily, my mags are 225/35/19 so even with 20 mm it will amount to 245 so in my opinion it should still fit without rubbing the fender.
(im on Tanabe NF210)

What is the width of the wheel?

Yazan7

They are 19 x 7"

7"? you got a setup that's narrower than the factory?

regardless, disk type is the most important part in clearing calipers, not offset. you need high disk wheel otherwise likely won't fit. given the size my guess is maybe 20-25mm, a wild guess

and you sure you want to do 245 on 7"? that's a lot of tire on not so much rim

Yazan7

no the tires are 225 what i meant by 245 is that with the 20 mm spacers i could consider them as being 245 when it comes to rubbing the fender on the turn.

Design of the wheels has more to do with brake caliper clearance then just relying on the offset.

maybe go with skinnier tires. 225 on a 7" rim seem kinda wide. Plus with your offset being so high and rim width smaller then factory, id assume your wheel would be more sunken into your fender then poking out. Can you post a pic of said 19x7+50 rims?

Yazan7

sorry for the mistake guys they are actually 225X7.5 and the thickness is 40 not 35
Im worried that it might be the style of the mags that are just not letting me clear the calipers..

I have no idea what 225x7.5 means? My guess is, you are tring to say is your rims are 19x7.5+50 tire size is 225/40?? My guess would be your rims are the wrong disk type. Nothing to do with offset and tire size.

Who wears shoes like that lol?

Yazan7

Yeah thats what i meant.
so is there a way i can make them fit or should i just try and sell them ?
Because i honestly think your right, i've been experimenting with different sized spacers and they don't seem to be helping out whatsoever... :S
is there any way i can deal with the disk type or is it a lost cause at this point ?

Yazan7

Want me to post a pic of my shoes also ?
But i dont think il need to, because we both know where i can make them fit up

Those rims are kind of ugly, consider the incompatibility a blessing.

Yazan7

haha will do :P
it's my first time actually working on a Car so i don't know much but im still learning

Spacers wont help. Sell them. Theres nothing you can do about it. Next time when you buy rims make sure you know they fit before buying them. Dont buy rims that are skinnier then factory specs, thats kinda like down grading.
