Unhappy Help from Wheel experts BC Wheels

Hi guys need help

I am interested in one of these two wheels from BC Wheels. I want the wheels to be as concave front and back as possible WITHOUT fender roll/cut/molest etc etc.

Specs I have in mind that may work but not sure:

Front: 19x 9 +35 (tire 245/35/19)
Rear:. 19x 10 +45 (tire 285/30/19)

Still need to decide which wheel type

Will appreciate comments...... tnx

The one on the left would look killer, and you might want to go 10.5 in the back...

I think the front is ok ,but the rear sticks out 23mm with that offset. I think it slightly rubs with 285/30/r19 (even you dont lower your car). One of members here go with 19x10 +42 (285/30/19) it rubs too bad.
Mine is 19x9 +38( 255/35/19) front , 19x11 +52 (275/35/19) rear. No fenders rolled.

Problem with the F is you can't get that deep concave look as let's say a gtr because our calipers are far out in relation to the fenders. Either way both rims look dope but I'd do rim 1 in the finish of the second rim.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought stock wheel offset was +55, so wouldn't this wheel only go towards the fender 10mm? Or am I missing something? I put 15mm spacers on my stock wheels, so shouldn't that give me a +40 offset. I'm lowered as well with no rubbing.

Hi PhiDeltBee, you are not wrong but you misunderstand here.
The rear stock wheels are 9" +55 and you put 15mm spacers ,it means only 15mm stick out and the rear stock tires only 255/35/19 so it does not rub at all even you can put 20mm spacers on .
And here ISFRSA he goes with 19x10, it means 1" (25.4mm) wider that is divided by 2 = almost 13mm stick out plus 10mm of the wheel (+45 offset compared with +55 offset of the stock).So it gonna be 23mm go towards the fender and he chooses 285/30/19 tires I think it will rub.

Hi 7No, rub or no rub it depens on offsets. Why you don"t let ISFRSA know your offsets?

I agree with Murph145- first wheel choice in the second's finish. 7No's looks really good with the tire combo compared to stock setup.

Get the mesh face one, would look perfect. And the specs you posted should fit fine because I'm running a 10.5" rear with the same offset. Also Vossens are pretty concave in the rear and clear the calipers. So not sure why people say you cant fit concave wheels on the ISF....

The wheel on the left. I have 295 on a 9.5 with +35 offset, wish it was +40 or even +45 that would be perfect. It hooks really well. The side wall can practically be folded down to the lip of the rim @40psi. It's crazy how soft they are. Also with a price tag of 485 each lol but well worth it. If you want something to hook up I would get a meatier side wall with skinnier rim otherwise those specs you said will work but you aren't gonna hook to save your life lol. I also have BC coilovers, the tires barely rub otherwise they tuck nicely on most bumps.

Thanks guys, I am also leaning towards the mesh/ multi spoke wheels.

@ CalitriSC: if you running the same spec with BC coils, then it seems my specs should fit. your car looks amazing- I also have a pearl white.

@7NO.... car looking hot!! offsets if you dont mind?

@Petshark : 285-is quite wide I should hope, it better hook car looks sick

@ shyguyF: if i decrese the offset by 5 (on the rear) will the may be help ?
BC only does offsets in +5 increments or less

i will also be installing BC Coilovers.

any one know how these wheels are with regards to weight?

The offsets are: 19x10.5 +55 rear 19x9 +40 front. I got the wheels from FIGS and he cautions that different wheels have different lip shapes and that these offsets might not result in the same appearance with other wheels.

Hi ISFRSA you see Petshark's set up 19x9.5 +35 offsets that's 26.5 mm towards to fender but he said he wish it was +45 offsets it would be perfect, it means only 16.5mm stick out so it's no problem with 295/3019.
And if you decrese the offset by 5 that's would be fine with 285/30/19 because your rear wheels gonna be 19x10 +50 offsets, it means almost 18mm stick out so you don't need to get fenders rolled, cut or shaved (if you keep the rear in stock height).
But you said you will get BC Coilovers ,your F wil be lower than stock so i'm not sure.

I guess I am a little partial to the wheel on the right. My specs, offsets and tire sizes are the same as 7No as I also got my wheels from Figs. One warning, not all tires (sizes) are created equal. I ran into rubbing issues with Michelin SSs and had to switch to Bridgestone S0-4s. To see more pics of my wheels and car go to this thread:
