Bought new wheels! Axis Milano 19's

Finally picked up new wheels from the classifieds. Axis Milano, 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 w/ 235 35 and 255 30 toyos. Also bought a new set of H&R springs for $125 shipped I feel great! Anyone that run's axis milano 19's, do they make different offsets? What is your setup and do they require spacers, modifications, etc? Thanks!

I'm running on 19's milanos. I have an offset of et37 all around with no spacers. Did you get your rims off a dude with a c class? I think they are et40 for the rear, right?

You got a great deal off your springs.

Found a random ebay auction...he canceled the auction for $125 shipped (no bids). I was quite happy Very very lucky timing!

They are 35 mm front offset and 40 mm rear offset...do I need spacers? If so, would 10 mm H&R spacers be ok? Thanks!

check your pm, the front should be fine, but just mount them, and make sure you get new bolts, the stockers may be too long and you will hear a clicking sound as the bolts hit the e-brake, do not do that.

they should be 30-32 in the front and 35 maybe even up to 38 in the rear....but lots of things come into play, tires, fender clearance, rim manufacturer, slight variance in different clk's...just mount them and check to see if they work..that is the only way to find out...make sure you turn you bolts have 5-6 complete full turns, any more and they are too long.

thats very true, the only way you'll know the clearance of the rim is to put it on the car. i recently got a great deal on a nice set of staggered 19'' wheels with a 38MM offset. i paid $400 for them, i mean i had to buy 2 screws for the center cap but hey for that price it was a steal. i put them on the car without tires to see how they fit and the front is about 2 mm away from the control arm, so i decided to get 3MM spacers just to give it enough clearance since i'm lowering the car and i don't want rubbing issues. so we'll see. but good luck with your wheels and try to post some pics, once i'm done with my project i'll post pics.

The wheel shop is a local friend, so I'll just do like you guys say and let him put them on and see how close. Then we can order the bolts I need and the spacers necessary. Thanks for all the input! I'll def post pics when it's taken care of!

Be thankful you have a friend in the wheel shop. The prices these shops are charging these days are criminal! I took mine to Just Tires and they told me $33 to simply dismount my old tire/rim and put the rim on a new tire! I told I'd be back tomorrow then went to a shop that did it for $15.

Yea its nice. I guess when I get these, I'll take em over and have him do a test and find out what's necessary. That's one of the benefits of being from a small town!

Preciate it. Do our cars pretty much look the same?

nice rims =)

when your rear tires wear out, you probably should consider putting on the correct size (265/30/19).

Yea, definitely. They're tiny. But, that's how they came as a package, so I'll keep em for now. Don't have 500 bucks to fix em!

ANYBODY SELLING SHOCKS?
