Default Offset & Wheel Fitment Question

Determining if a wheel will fit from it's offset has never been my strongest area. WIth that being said I'm currently looking at some TE37s sizing:

19 x 9.5 fronts
19 x 10.5 rears
+12 offset all around

Will these fit? I am willing only to roll the fenders, no pull.

Thanks in advance (sorry if this topic has been exhausted I did search)

Those will not fit and will stick out like crazy.

I figured they were too aggressive.

Thanks

You can imagine that you will put 52mm spacers in front and 62mm spacers in rear on the stock wheels. I think with that offset it does not work.

It's for sure way to aggressive. You will have to do a lot more than just pull the fender's.

19x10 et26 at the front
19x10 et23 at the rear

Thanks in advance once again.

What are you trying to achieve? Stance?

With this set up, i think you can check the Favorite Is F pictures thread at page 14 with CalitriSC F pictures, he is running 19x10 et 38 all around and you will what you need. With your new offsets are lowered than his so the wheels gonna stick out more 12mm in front and 15mm in rear.

I have the same questions. With width at 10" and offsets under say 35, you're going to stick out past the fender, which means you'll have to do some combination of rolling, pulling and camber adjustments to fit. I know that the whole STANCE craze has been around for awhile, and I've seen some truly wild setups, so if that is what you're aiming for, keep at it. If you just want something a little more flush to the fender however, try to keep your offsets above 30 at least, or go with a narrower wheel. Nothing is going to fit without some fender modification with an offset in the teens or 20s at 10" wide.

I joke that I had an accidental stancing, because I'm running 19x9.5 ET29 in the rear which did require a rear fender roll (but no pulling or camber adjustments). I bought the wheels used and the seller mixed up the offsets, so I didn't know I was getting such low offsets until they arrived. Oh well, I think they look great now, but I did have to roll the rear fenders.

No, not necessarily stance- but a bit more aggressive than stock. These setups I keep posting are wheels that I like and are for sale at a good price.

I will be lowered, and I am willing to roll the fenders, but definitely not pull!

Thanks for the help guys

If you plan on lowering, then yeah, you're going to need to do some fender work to fit a 10" wide wheel with anything under ET50 on your offsets. I posted above, but forgot to mention I'm at stock ride height and still needed to roll to not rub over the larger dips/bumps. This car does not have the wider, flared rear fenders like the 370Z or some other cars that can get away with offsets in the teens and 20s.

if you dont want stance and you dont want negative camber and you dont want stretched tires and you dont want fender mods then you dont want those wheels lol

if you want to run a 10" rif offsets have to be around +40-45 max

I will run negative camber and a stretched tire. I just don't want to pull any of the fenders.

I want my fronts to look like this, but definitely DON'T like how the rears are fitted. I would much rather a flush look than that poke. Specs on this car are a mystery I found it while creeping instagram.
