Advise on the offset
Hey Guys,
I'm thinking of getting some 19" HREs for my C63 and I cannot decide on the offset.
My question is:
Taking into count 19" and wide tires ( Mich. PSS), how much smalller I can go from the stock offset (I think +45mm front and +54mm back) without having to say "F**K!" on every single pothole when the wheel would hit the fender?
Thanks,
Andrey

Go 19x8.5 +40mm (+38mm would be more flush) with 245/35/19 PSS.
Rear, I'd recommend 19x9.5 +52mm if u want to run wider tires like 275/30/19 PSS.. If u can settle for 265/30/19, u can do 19x9.5 +50mm like my HRE.
To give u an idea, I was rubbing on the passenger rear with my +50mm on 275/30, that's why I recommend u +52mm. Good luck!

^^ they do, but it all depends on the customers preference, some like the flush look while others like the conservative look.
I went with their recommendation, although my first choice was 19x10 +55mm so I could run 275/30.. I regret not going for it from the beginning cuz now I had to go down to 265/30.

Would a little fender rolling have helped. I have 19x10s with ET50 with no issues....but you're slammed right?

Lol, I wish I could roll the fenders & run 285/30! I heard the fenders might separate from the inner metal sheet causing rust in the long term, so I'm kind of in doubt.
I'm not slammed, just on springs.
Edit: are u lowered callmiro?

Thanx for the input,
that's what I was looking for. I will have to buy the whole setup anyways, rims and tires, so what would you reccomend? have a +52mm and 275 tires or +50mm with 265?

Fender rolling rolls the inner lip of the fender up, so it doenst rub against a tire on compression...it gives the tire some space to tuck up higher
It won't work if your tire sticks out past the fender edge....like your ET24

I still believe 19x10 +55mm with 275/30 PSS would work like a charm w/o rubbing.

It is really up to ur preferences. Meaty tires for traction vs flush wheels? U can look at my HRE thread to see what 19x9.5 +50 w/275-30-19 looks like. I just changed to 265-30-19 before winter cuz it was annoying to rub in the rear. They look like the 275, just a bit thinner (stretched).
