Need help with rim fitment
 
Front 19x9.5 +40
Rear 19x10.5 +40

Will they fit good on an 02 Ws6.....idk ?

BitPilot77 02-23-2019 10:34 AM

aaaaaaannnnnyyyyoooone I want to buy these rims asap if they'll work

TBSOELS1 02-24-2019 08:00 AM

yes those offsets will work, alot of people run 18x10 +42 forgestar wheels which is the size i just ordered.

Rear needs to be closer to 50 to fit "right"or its gonna be ugly with a decent sized non stretched tire.

I'll use a rear spacer I ordered them on Ebay since miro went tits up I got them for 900

pressureprows6 02-24-2019 08:30 AM

All a spacer is gonna do is make the situation worse..its gonna be less than 40 and stick out even more......more offset puts wheel in more..less offset makes wheel stick out more.

BitPilot77 02-24-2019 08:42 AM

oh well , I've seen a bunch of 40 offsets on rears now and they dont look bad ...... all perspective I guess

Chamans running 38 offset w 19s infact it looks great ! I'll be running 285s up front and 295s or 305s out back . Was going to go with 555 g2s but not so sure now .

10.5 vs 10 is alot when it comes to "fit"..pics after they are on...good luck.

After more research I can mill off some if it ain't right . Just so happens a very good friend of mine is a master journeyman machinist / millwright as well. With access to basically any and all related equipment.

After seeking info a +40 on rear the rim will be 3mm outside of wheel well.

hokeplaya05 02-25-2019 11:28 AM

this is 18x10.5 +50 offset, those are gonna stick out quite a bit at +40

3mm from what I've gathered from forum members

hokeplaya05 02-25-2019 11:47 AM

i think you'll be more than that so hopefully your buddy can shave the mounting surface otherwise you'll be stretching tires to keep them in the wheel well. 10mm is about 4 inches, i cant imagine if my wheels stuck out another 4 inches from where they are now, I'd be chewing up my fenders like crazy

Not to be an ass lol I'm not sure what school you went to but 4 inches is 101mm ....... 4mm is .157 of an inch .
