I'm still a little confused about this offset stuff. [hmm

I know 19" alloys with a 35 offset should go straight on but will a 45 offset?

Help please

That should be fine...

Going more negative i.e. 30 or 25 etc would cause a problem if i'm not wrong!!

should be fine. What J are the rims?

Still don't quite understand how you can run different sized tyres on the same sized rims. Surely it would cause the sidewalls to sit at an angle and hence affect the tyre performance? Especially as it would seem that you can fit quite a range of widths to the same rim? CAn anyone explain how this actually works? [hmm

More buldge or less buldge. As long as within accepatble limits, you will not notice performance change, especially for normal street driving.

So... :rolleyes: will
8.5 - 235/35/19 front
9.5 - 265/30/19 rear

lowered on Eibach Sportline springs be ok?

With an off set of 45mm, you'll have plenty of space. I would even space the front wheel out 7mm and rear rear wheel 5mm to get a fuller look.

Ahh...so the bigger the offset the narrorower (is that a word?) the alloy [jam
ok next question, where can I get these spacers from Peppernick? [hmm

the bigger the offset the further in the wheel sits. Im pretty sure Roy does spacers. Youll need longer bolts aswell [ok.

Roy. You need longer wheel bolts too.

The bigger the offset, the CAR is narrower, not the rims.
