What's going on guys. I've been in the car scene for a long while, but I've never gotten around to learning about tire size, wheel width/offset (everything this thread is about). Can anyone break down the essentials into what everything means in a nutshell? Any help would be great. Thanks guys!

Its a nice fit, front rolled flat and rear shaved flat with -7/8 camber, or pull the rear.

I suggest reading instead of being spoon fed. But lower the offset the further the wheel will stick out, the higher the number the sunk it will be.

Default New set of wheels coming up need help!

Hello guys!

19x11 +22
i would like to run a 255/35/19 for the rear and a 225/35/19 on some falkens 452's!
My fronts and rears are both rolled, i will be raising my car up a bit from the super slammed look to be able to achieve the horsepower goal im going for. will i need to shave or pull out my fenders at all for a 255/35/19 to fit without rubbing when flooring it all the way? ill be at 450 horses
Let me know please, thanks guys!

Default sorry if this is a repeat question

I've done a little research but still havent found exactly what i'm looking for so hopefully you gurus can help. I have a gs300 lowerd on tanabe df210s. The wheels I have are 19x8.5 all around (non staggered). Will I have any rubbing issues running 245/40/19s? I


I believe the offset is 35

Long time reader...figured I better start posting and contributing.... lol

I am having some Auto Couture wheels built:
19x10 et15 235/35
19x11 et15 245/35

Front are rolled flat with a slight flare/pull and the rears are shaved. I am sure the rears will have to be pulled a little.

Can anyone vouch for this setup or see any flaws? Please let me know! THanks!

Im getting a set of Rotiforms and Im kind of a noob when it comes to figuring out offsets...These are the sizes and offsets they offer.

19x9 et35 or et40
19x10 et25 or et35

Staggered or not, it doesnt really matter, I just wanted to know what would be the right combo for my 2GS to look good without getting too aggresive. I currently have 19x8s et40 all around and they look pretty sunk
