Wheel/Tire/Offset Question

Need to double check on this and need some fast responses... Put it in the wheel thread, but I need to make a move on these wheels and tires fast because mine are so shot I can't drive on them.

I want the Niche Misano M116's in Anathracite... From reading on this site it looks like I can do 19x8.5 on the front with a +42mm offset and 19x9.5 on the rears with a +50mm offset. Tires are going to be Nittos, 245/35/19 and 275/30/19... Does this sound like it would work? In one of the threads I searched for, someone (Roswell I think) said that for 19x8.5 fronts a 40-45 offset was necessary, and for 19x9.5 rears a 48-55 offset was necessary. I've done research, I just want to be damn sure.

I was pretty sure that the 42/50mm offsets (F/R respectively) were the way to go, but my wheel shop is telling me otherwise... Wanted to get some additional opinions.

Also, less related, but does anyone know of a good source for centercaps?

Thanks
Matt

You will be good. I had wheels built to custom offsets, I am +40 front and +50 rear running 245/35-19 front and 275/30-19 rear. Stock suspension and never once any issue, no rubbing issues, no clearance issues, no issues what so ever.

You should be safe with those offsets (F +42;R +50) and 245/35/19 Front; 275/30/19 Rear even after you are lowered. Slight possibility you will rub lightly on the right rear once lowered.

Yes be prepared to have occasional rub on the passenger rear once lowered. I had experience with 19x9.5 +50 with 275/30/19. 265/30/19 is safer with this set-up.

I'm now running 19x10 +50 with 275/30/19 no problem.

Hi guys

Sorry for digging up an old thread, just felt it better than starting a new thread asking a similar question.

I am looking for wheels.
So I found a set with is 19x8.5 + 32 (I think) fronts, and 19x9.5 rear + 34 (I think) rears.
I told the guy I was certain the rears won't fit, and he told me he will try source a 19x9.5 + 45 rear.

So my question, would I have issues with rubbing once I lower the car? I'd be using a 265/35/19 tyre, maybe 275/35/19.

The tires you are planning to run on the rear are too tall. You will need a 265/30/19 or 275/30/19.

With a 19x9.5 +45 you will probably need to run a 255/30/19. You might just be able to run a 265/30/19. You will likely be at the limit and there is a possibility it will snick now and then.

I was running a 265/30/19 MPSS on a 19x10 +52 and it used to rub a little on the right rear on my 2012 while I could run a 275/30/19 MPSS on my 2010 on the same wheels.
