Aftermarket wheels with NO drop

kenchan · 07-21-2012, 09:18 PM

My car is stock height. As long as you use offset 32 or higher with 9" width on the front it will look fine. If you use 9.5" width 38 or higher.

Otherwise the tires stick out too far when looked at the car from the front.

Rear 15 if 10.5" width. Stick with 19's. 20's will look too short on the sidewall vs wheel gap.

It can look completely fine not to drop the car and still use aftermarket wheels you just need to get a fatter tire onto the wheel to makeup for the gap.

I would recommend the following setup:

19x9.5 (+22) 265-35-19
19x10.5 (+12) 295-35-19 or 305-35-19

It looks like a 4x4... idk

No Harsh feelings just trying to reply to ops post with other solutions.

I don't want to ruin my car's handling with an air suspension lolz

Looks like the 2 above posters have different ideas on what the best offset would be. What do

Kenchan is a good example to use since he isn't lowered and looks really good

I don't ever suggest 20's unless it's the last resort

This... Flush it out and keep some meat on the tires. Thin sidewalls don't look right. The wheels are large enough that if you go with a bit more sidewall, it would still look good.
