Default I'm considering stepping down to 19"s....(need offset help)

Currently I have the IForged Flux in 20"s...thinking of going down to 19"s...

I was thinking somehwere along the lines of +32 in 10.5" wide wheel for the rears
and +32 in an 8.5" for the fronts. Do you think this would work?

*I know it's rather aggressive but keep in mind that I do have my fenders fully rolled and that I would be running a stretched tire set-up.

Thanks in advance guys,

what offset you have on 20s now?

i think the front will work no problem. that's just the same as mine. the rear i am not sure, that's just like my 10 with 26 offset. that's very low (i have 43 now and i know 35 is about the max with all fender shaved on 2gs). the 1gs is a bit more tolerant but i am not sure

Rominl-
Is it possible to run a 10.5 with a +43 offsets on the rear (2nd gen GS) without fender mods? If so what size tire would you recomend.?

Without fender mods, no. I have x10 +38 and your spec is already more to the outside by a mm or 2. I had to modify the fender.

Seize,

Stepping down cause the cut springs and ride quality on the 20's a lil harsh?

I'm sure you are aware that I'm running +23 in the front and +15 in the back, without any problems since I too had my fenders rolled as well as pulled.


You should be able to run +23 in the front with no problems at all.

In the rear you could do +20.

yeah like neo said, i don't think it will work. that's a good 6mm more outbound from my wheel. you need some shaving

Seize, you can do a 9 in the front with a +30 offset and do a 10.5 rear with either +24 or 32..This set-up will work if you use stretch tires and rolled fenders which you have already done..
