Guys I have a set of L sportline model 4 rims in 19s , fronts are 7.5 and rear 8.5 width with really ****ty offsets +44 . If I slam my car and add spacers would it look good ? I mean spacing out so they sit flush? Or just buy a better set of rims?

Has anyone done this here and have picture for reference?

Thanks in advance!

It all depends on you and whether or not you like the wheels or not,

If you can, take some pics of them on the car or check the photoshop thread. You can always make requests.

With a +44 offset you would have to run some pretty big spacers to get it flush... I'm thinking like 25-30mm in the rear and prob a 20mm in the front...

I have/had the same wheels except 20x8.5-9.5, same offsets. Mine really couldn't use any more than a 15 mm spacer since they didn't have the little pockets between the bolt holes to use wider spacers with built in studs. Yours will be weaker than mine being narrower but here's a pic for what it's worth with 15mm spacers on my 20's

Personally I wouldnt think its a good look. The GS has a pretty big body and having it slammed and flush on rims that are 7.5 and 8.5 just wont do it for me. I would probably go with a wider set of rims. Are you planning to run with negative camber? It depends what lopk youre going for.

I think youngs300 is right, those sizes would be better on a smaller car. Probably the right call to sell them, nice high quality wheels though.
