Unless they are 6" wide, it's not gonna happen. +38 to +42 is ideal.

Do it! Worst case you'll have to run some eibach prolines with a little roll and tug on the fenders, but, most likly just a little more roll.

WTF is the point of running a crazy offset if you have to jack the car up to make them work? lol

CHEVRO_SS 01-26-2011 12:56 AM

what do u mean a pull?

Ting-ting 01-26-2011 01:03 AM

in the rear you can get the fender pulled so it flares out more

CHEVRO_SS 01-26-2011 01:08 AM

hmm would a +30 offset fit np then?

Ting-ting 01-26-2011 01:27 AM

the reason why im throwin out these crazy ass numbers is b/c i can get a 5x110 to 5x114.3 conversion kit thats only 15mm thick, so if i would get a 5x114.3 aftermarket rim with a +45 offset(plus the 15mm conversion kit) it would ad up to a total of +30 offset... i am correct on this right? lol

Ting-ting 01-26-2011 01:32 AM

your correct for the most part but if you run a 15mm adapter your gonna have to cut the stock studs other wise they will stick out

hmm if i dont cut them will it be ugly? i was thinking that they would just hide behind the rim am i wrong?

Ting-ting 01-26-2011 01:51 AM

no what im saying is the stock studs will stick out threw the adapter cause 15mm is to small you would need a 20mm

so they will stick out and hit the rim that im putting on? and if i cut them how much do i need to cut them and if i wanted to put my stockers back on then the stock/cut studs would work?

Ting-ting 01-26-2011 02:06 AM

yeah they will stick out to far and will hit the back of the rim.well if you run 15mm you will have to put one one and cut the stud till it is flush with the spacer


and no if you cut stock studs you cant run stock wheels unless you put new studs in but studs are cheap like 1.50 each

u cant just get new studs?(i think)((correct me if im wrong)) arent they attached to the hub and i would have to get whole new wheel bearings/hub

Ting-ting 01-26-2011 02:11 AM

no they are attached but they push out with a press or hammer and the new one push back in

CHEVRO_SS 01-26-2011 02:27 AM

oh damn nice! thanks alot for your help, now i just need to find out if the +30 offset with a 19x8.5 rim would fit without rubbing!!

Ting-ting 01-26-2011 02:36 AM
