Default Wheel thread?

Do we have one? I didn't bring my glasses.

All specs, brand, measurements and spacers.

Anyone down size to 18"s or 19"s or just go 20s?

Im thinking a square setup, if nine and a half wide rubs then I'll go just 9 but lower offset?
Help

Did you ever get an answer to this? I would like to run a squared 9.5 set up if possible. I am thinking a 40 offset may be the answer but this forum can be less than helpful sometimes. I have searched this extensively here but have not found a definitive answer.

i bought some work wheels from the lexus dealership i was at, they did some emailing back and forth with the manufacturer to get me the most aggressive fitment on the size i was looking at, without any rubbing, might wanna do the same, or try emailing the manufacturer yourself, fitment is a complicated topic

You're not going to get a lot of responses on this forum about wheels or offset. Most people here don't care for aftermarket wheels...even fewer knows anything about proper offset and fitment. Your best bet is to inquire with a wheel sales specialists, they're trained to know proper fitment for your car. Try the Vendor Marketplace, there are tons of them advertising all the times. Go look at which wheel you like, then ask them for proper fitment. Stick with 8.5-9" for front unless you want to do major fender work. Offset of low to mid 40's should work, but it depends on the wheel. Aftermarket wheels are so numerous with many different fitment, styles, finishes. You can't just throw out an offset and expect people to give advice on what works. Also keep in mind your future suspension (lowered or not) and brakes upgrade (larger calipers). Getting the wrong fitment could be catastrophic.

If your car is lowered, there is plenty of data here:

I used that thread/file for reference too when I was looking up wheels. Good data in there!

you can run that square setup but you’ll have to run lower offsets up front than back if you want a flush look. Lots of wheel setup info here but a lot of it is trial and error.

Thanks, I have decided to just do 8.5 wide squared with the same offset on all. Too bad as it forces me away from a concave style wheel. I may end up staying with the F-Sport wheels it came with.

another option is to use spacers to have a flush look. Even with the f sport wheels, it makes the car look so much more aggressive.

I wonder how that would look with the stock 19’s at stock ride height. I was behind an M5 last night that had at least 295’s on the back. I was jealous for half a second.
