Default Anyone Rolling on WEDS SA-60M?

So I am finally in the market for a new set of rims for my baby girl that's two set I am really interested in :

First set is Weds Sport SA-55M BBM on
19 x 9 +38 F (245/35/19)
19 x 10 +40R (275/30/19)
I know few members here have/had SA 55, after PM'ed them now I know for sure that will work for my stock suspension set up.
I have also got a few quotes from different companys, please pm me if anyone know where I can get a good deal.

However, I am more interested and my first choice is SA-60M BBM
they don't have the same deminsion and offest as the 55's... and would like to know what will be the best opinion for my car without any issue with their spec here:



I have ZERO knowlege on wheels and offset... I know a few of us here are expert on this area! I will be very apperciate for your inputs!

19x8.5 +35
19x9.5 +35

will fit great. No need to mod to fit and lowered is fine.

You should also look into Advans. Similar looks and price. Advans are great and very light.

I would pm Ravspec for any of those wheels.

I really really like the look of the SA60M. I would go 19x8.5 +45 and 19x9.5 +48 if you want the closest to stock offsets/best fitment. If you are interested in pushing the wheels as close to flush as possible look above^^^^^. My stated widths/offsets would allow you to run 255/35R19 & 285/30R19 tires with no problems stock or lowered. I would personally consider those sizes over 245/35R19 & 275/30R19. You will have wider rubber and be very close to stock tire height. Your best bet would probably be running Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position tires in those sizes. ...just my 2 cents.

This would be very conservative. If you are going to spend money, might as well improve on stock. +35 front and rear is very safe. No need to do anything and run 245/275 combo. For example I have 19x9 +35 and 19x10 +40 custom on order and they are very safe offsets. I like my wheels flush with no work and my car lowered to finger gap front and rear.

You're right. Like I said in my previous post, go with your proposed offsets if the Op was looking for flush fitment. I was giving my advice on the best option with that wheel for performance. I personally prefer offsets that allow fitment of the widest tires.

Most would love to run a mild to semi-agressive offset for the fronts and rears, but it all comes down to how much work one wants to put in it. Wheels and tires together, along with suspension changes, all have an effect on what work might needs to be done. I've discussed "perfect" fitment and offsets with fellow members and friends while they were getting ready to choose aftermarket wheels, and it's not super difficult- but certainly not easy to configure. One wrong calculation, including any guessing, can be very costly.

Personally, I think the size and offset that the OP was thinking of going with will be fine with some fender cutting or rolling. As much as I'd like to go even semi-aggressive with aftermarket wheels, there really isn't a lot of room with the BBK and large calipers in the rear to run aggressive wheels. And I'm not one to alter the camber just to have a certain wheel fit by sacrificing the performance aspect of the F. Great wheel choice to the OP BTW. The BBM finish is a real eye catcher. Best of luck!

You would have to run 19x8.5+38 and 19x9.5+38. The +35 stated a couple posts up is for 5x120 only. You need to look at offsets listed under 5x114.3.

Yes that would be correct. I missed that. +38 would also be fine. No work to make it fit nor lose any performance nonsense.

Thank you everyone for their inputs and advices!

So basically I have 2 options here for SA60M:

1st option going to be like Gymkata said:
19 x 8.5 + 45 (255/35R19)
19 x 9.5 + 48 (285/30R19)
which allow me to run a wider tires for better traction.
I acutally already have two new S04 245/35/19 (less than 3 months old) at the fronts; I might end up mounted them on the new front.

2nd options will be as yjk1975 suggested
19 x 8.5 +38 (245/35R19)
19 x 9.5 +38 (275/30R19)
which will give me a slighty 'Flush' looks, is it correct gent?

I assume both options are good without rubbing issue? And i don't have to use spacer or rolling fender to get them fit?

And also one last thing, Will I able to lower my car later on in the future without issue?

Thanks again for all yours help!

stupid question, but would the 285/255 that Gymkata is suggesting not fit well or rub on the wheel offsets yjk1975 is suggesting?

^^^I'm not sure. 19x8.5 +38 should be able to clear 255/35R19 tires without any modification. I don't think 19x9.5 +38 would clear 285/30R19 tires though. It would probably be okay except on big bumps with a stock suspension, but would likely rub regularly if lowered...that's my guess at least.

If you wanted to run a more flush setup with wider tires, you could go 19x8.5 +38 with 255/35R19 and 19x9.5 +48 with 285/30R19.
