Maybe Im wrong I dont know how your fenders look. Im just going by how my car looks and how low it is. Just do it and if it rubs then it rubs and if it doesn't that thats good for you. If you were to rub then I think it would be fender liner.

Default Need some help (Wheel fitment question)

First off, I tried to do a search and couldn't come up with anything concrete. Would a 20x8.5 front with 35 offset and 20x10 rear with 40 offset fit on a 09 is350 without needing spacers? Would it rub or have any issues clearing the brakes? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

as for clearing the brakes, make sure the front rims are either High disk or R disk. AND what tire size/drop are you planning on running since everything is interconnected?

and... Drop first then rims, always.

I'm sorry for asking this since it will make me sound ignorant, but what does high/r disk mean?

Tires size would most likely be 235/30/20f and 265/30/20r. As for the drop, I wanted tein s techs, but will have to settle for eibach pro kits since 20's are kind of big and I dont want to roll the fenders.

Default Quick Question (about Work Varianza T1S wheels)

Hello,

I am looking to get a set of Work Varianza T1S wheels, for my is, like the look of them, i think there one of the best looking wheel.

Only problem is i live in ireland and there is no market for them wheels over here especially the staggered setup,

I'm looking to get a set of 19" 8.5 and 10". how much would i have to pay for this (ex shipping).

And what is the deal with the offset?? what does this mean is this the size of the lip that sticks out??

Sorry for questions i've searched but not found what i'm looking for

Thanks

im not sure about the cost...

but offset is the most important measurement on the wheels. it is the distance from the wheel mounting surface (that sits against the hub) to the center of the width of the wheel.

so if you have a higher + offset then the wheel will sit in further than that of a lower offset.

imo, offset is the hardest thing to measure for

ah i understand now, so you can have positive and negative offsets, so for deep dish alloys it determines the lip??
