So im looking at a set of axis pentas the rear is 19x9.5 275/30 tire 40mm offset. the front is 19x8.5 245/35 35mm offset. Would these fit with stock supension and some ebiac springs. There on a lexus now. Let me know thanks.
Wheel Fitment & Question Thread
- Thread starter BorHor

What are you worried about? Are you worried about them possibly hitting the struts, cause if you are you in the clear and you should have plenty of space. I am currently running 18x9.5 +12 all around and a 5mm spacer in the rear and I dont rub or anything, well I did roll my fenders and quarters a little.
Just wasn't sure if they would clear the struts or rub like a mofo! thanks for the info though I'll get some pics up if I get them they should look sick.
So was gunna buy my wheels today but he already sold them!!! S%*@!!!
So now more hunting if anybody has anything for sale in pacific northwest let me know!

Well now im thinkn of goin new and looking at a 18x10.5 in rear with 305/35 tire and 18x9 with 265/35. What off set would i need with stock suspension and ebiac springs. I could prob the use a 295 rear tire also.
I am debating weather i should get the xxr526 17x9+25 front 17x10+20 rear.. How will they fit? & i dont want to fender roll. i am on Tokico struts & Eibach pro springs..

I think the front will be really nice, depending on how low you go, if you look back a page or so at my supra that is 17x9 +35 all round lowered 60-70mm all round.
So your front will stick 10mm more away from the car which will be fine with stock fender depending on height and tire size.
The back, I can't say much about the back but that sounds pretty accurate as because of natural camber my rear sits in around 25mm and even then it could come out at least another inch or so because of the rear being higher, must be because of the weight of the motor that the front is pretty low.
Thanks Ryan, I went ahead and order the rims. Of course there on back order, but I'll post some pics when I get them.
Sounds good, will be a sweet setup I run stock fenders, front pretty low rear needs to come down a little but the front would be sweet around 10-15mm less offset and the rear could fit anything pretty much haha, as I said needs to come down a little..

After running this setup for a couple months, the only comment I have for fitment is that the rears stick out a touch too much. I was running on the highway when I hit some dips and with stock suspension the wheel well lip hit the tire. Considering getting a different setup for the car now because I dont like that. I may roll the lips on the rears just to prevent it from happening again.
Therefore, in my opinion the wheels are about 1/2 - 3/4" too far out for what I want.

Your ride height and alignment are why those super weak sizes "stick out".
Lower your car, have the fenders rolled properly, and it will look much better.

HSD Coilovers go on my car on Monday.. lowering the car (but not as much as some might recommend.. I like my bumper.. )
I will probably have to roll the fenders or do a diff setup wheel-wise...
Have to find someone who can roll without cracking the paint...

Why is it that you rub and I don't other than your on 18s? maybe run a more narrow tyre Im on stock fenders and my car sites pretty low, about 90mm off the ground 17x9 all round + 35 offset 225/45/17
Doesnt rub at all even on very hard compression. I guess my shocks are as stiff as you can get and Im running whiteline sway bars

My rears are 255's yours are 225's. It's that 1" difference with my offset. (actually slightly more than an inch)
Only rubbed once but brought to my attention that the wheels are a tiny bit too far out. I don't want to stretch the tire. I think I will just get a different wheel next year with a different offset. If I roll the quarters I will still hit the sidewalls. I would have to do a slight camber adjustment I believe and I want to avoid that.
I want my car lowered but not slammed. I already scrape the road in some areas with a stock height

30mm total width, only a half inch on either side difference (not offset). Different manufacturers also have different sidewall and tread shoulder designs which can change that dimension slightly.
I've run 25mm less offset with that same size and not had any problems, roll your fenders.

I dont think they are stretched at all, they suite a 8.5 wide rim but nothing was mentioned at the shop, try them out? nitto invo's they are amazing try 225/45/18 I think it's when you get into 40 profile it starts stretching a lot more, 45 profile is definitely not low profile, I chose this so I didn't rub and so the wheel gap wasn't that noticeable since the car is not slammed.
I looked at your wheels closely.. you have pretty amazing fitment and no, your rubber does not looked stretched at all (well.. maybe a tiny bit). If I go 225/45/18 I think that will kick my odometer off by about 8-10 kph (already 5-6 off). I think I need to find the 90+ speedo gear for my 88 R154 to get it closer to correct. Its not critical though, once I know the true speed I am okay, I only drive 2-3k km per year in it.
I had a blow out on my Bridgestone Potenzas and replaced the rears with Yokohamas about 2 weeks back for 600.00.. so I am a tad reluctant in shelling out more money for rubber right now. Plus I am putting on braided brake lines, brembo rotors, master and slave Aisin clutch cylinders and HSD coilovers along with a new heater core and lines tomorrow which will set me back a bit of $. At least I can let it sit over winter and decide when the sun comes out again soon. : )

I changed my order to Xxr521 gold 18x8.5+25front & 18x10+25Rear.. Tire size not sure yet. Iam getting them from nextlevel motoring, I just talk to them & they said they've got lots of rim that came in.. The only downer is that they have 18x10s but not 18x8.5 xxr521 I have to wait for those
... Also good about the xxr521 exact bolt pattern ..
