Rims Offset vs Spacers

Hey guys, Can you buy certain rims that will do the job spacers will do? Rims need to be good for track use too, not these deep dish show rims.

Default Rims Offset vs Spacers

Hey guys,

Can you buy certain rims that will do the job spacers will do? Rims need to be good for track use too, not these deep dish show rims.

I'd like to buy rims that fill in the fenders well while sitting at the normal Sport Package ride height. Is this possible or can you only fill the in the fenders with wheel spacers?

Thanks,

Ben

You can go with something like a TE37.

These in the pics are 19x9.5 +22 / 19x10.5 +12 stock hieght with 265/35 | 305/30.

This will fit in your fenders without the need for spacers. Because you are going wider and lower offset.

Wow great info! this looks great and thank you for the pic to show a real example. In terms of rim styling, would I Just search for any rims that have 19x9.5 +22 / 19x10.5 +12 or is there recommended brand. Also with this offset and rim size is there any risk of the tire rubbing the fender on hard turns at the track?

I'm taking down your info. I'll reach out to you guys when i get ready to buy
