Anyone with 9.5" +38 wheels?
Anyone with 9.5" +38 wheels? I read the FAQ and it looks like this is the general limit for offsets on the front and rear of our cars, but I wanted to see some pictures and see how sunk in the wheels really look. I've found some wheels that I like but they are low offset and I wanted to see how it would look without having to run a spacer.
I don't have pics of mine yet since they are being machined at the moment, but I'm going with Forgestar F14s in 18x9.5 with normal concave spoke design and an offset of +37mm. I'll let you know how it goes when they get here in May.
Post them up when you get them on the car I wanna see what that looks like!

Verdad Gallardo Correct, the lower numerically the offset is, the further out the wheel is. For example, some Corvette wheels have a 76mm offset and is damn-near impossible to fit on a fbody without some major hammering or tubbing the inner fenders. The popular fix is a 1" (25mm) spacer adapter - 76-25=51, the 'new' offset. Offset lowers numerically and wheel sticks out further...

Any idea what the lowest offset that is good on the front of the Trans Am? ive seen 35 and looks alright.
Chaman have you ever tried a spacer on the rear? I think it'd look nice and beefy with the rears sticking out an inch or so more.
Also what do decent tires run in 19s? I love those wheels but am afraid to pay for tires if I was to get them lol
