The front wheel comes within a whisker of the A Arm but clears it fine. For the rear, my fenders are rolled flat, and I rubbed over over bumps or when folks were riding in the back. I shaved 5mm off the rear wheels, changing the offset to +46mm. Now everything's fine

i was gonna say didnt you shave off the 5mm in the rear?! seeing your success with that change in the offset is what made me solidify my want of those wheels. clean, simple, and looks soo good.

Hey Lou, I have the same wheels and I too noticed a whisker gap between the inner wheel and A-Arm. I am installing coilovers next week. Is this gap gonna change? From my understanding the wheel will camber inward when lowered.

It's time for me to update the F with another set of wheels and the specs I'm looking at mirror almost the GSF/RCF wheels 19x9 & 19x10......the offsets that I'm looking at are +45 for the front with a 255/35 & +50 for the rear with a 285/30

Based off of what I've been reading I don't want to deal with any rubbing in the rear when I'm lowered so going from a 19x9.5 +45 in the rear to a 19x10 +50 I'm hoping will avoid any rubbing issues based on what Lou said above?

Also the front now I have 19x8.5 +35 on a 255/35 and I rub at full lock on turns........doing some thinking based on what I've read that if I stay with the same width 255/35 and increase offset to +45 on a 19x10 I would avoid any rubbing issues up front? Or should I go to +50 on the offset in the front just like the RCF/GSF offset of +51 to avoid any rubbing at that width?

Thoughts

I have no rubbing issues with 19x9.5 +35 with 255 tires and lowered in front. The minor rubbing on full lock is probably the plastic vents, just trim it or use a heat gun to flatten it out of the way a bit. even with 19x10 +45 front i see no issues. my other set i run 18x10 +40s front

You're right that rubbing is on the plastic fender liner. I didn't think about using a heat gun to flatten it out but that's good to know that you don't have any issues on the front which means I should be fine running a 19x9 +40 with the 255/35 lowered 😎

I recently pick up the Samurai Wheels for my “09 ISF but the rear wheels do not fit. The centric hole in the wheel is too small and does not sit flush. Any input? I’ve been looking and everyone seems to just fit them on well enough or perfectly.

Might have missed it while scrolling through the post, but are you running any spacers?
