Honest its not to bad to buy expensive wheels, used there 2200 to 2500, thats not much more than a budget set of 18s cost with new tires, you just got to find a good deal, there have been fikse/hre/ccws all for sale in the past 6 months all under 2300

19 x 10.5? The previous owner had the rear wheels widened?

any idea what the offset is on thoes rims? i was at their web site and they offer two different offsets 30mm and 38mm i am going to order a set and have them made wider for back thinking about going 19 x 11 how much room do you have in the inner side?

I think it looks way better with the 19's on it. Someone said 19's on these cars dont look good, their crazy these cars should have come from the factory with 19's on them. I have 19's on the front and 20's on the back and it's lowered 1.5" and I think the stance and rim size looks perfect, but that's just my opinion. I like the smaller rims on the guys cars that are making them more full race car, but the bigger rims make them look more like a street racer and gives more of a vette appearance.

My rims are 38mm offset... if theyre not 10.5, could they be wider.. I tried to measure them on the car which is probably the least accurate way.. haha I know they are wider than my 9.5 TT2s.. we put them side by side and these were wider but that was including the sidewalls.. I know some manufacturers measure a tires contact patch OR overall width including sidewall bubble.. Do rim manufacturers do the same... Like measuring outside of lip to the outside of the other lip? or is it Inside to inside measure?

You have to measure inner bead to inner bead. If outer lip to outer lip was 10.5, they're likely 19x9.5.
