Need wheel offset advice, thanks!
TIA everyone.
I understand the OE wheels and tires are the following sizes: F 18 x 8 ET42 225/45/18 R 18 x 9 ET30 255/40/18 So this is what's confusing me. 1) I'm currently running 10mm spacers with the OE wheels and tires. The look is perfect...I DO NOT want to extend the outer surface (street side) of the tire any more to the outside no matter what width of tire I use. I want to keep using the 10mm spacers so I can mount the OE 18's for longer trips 2) I know a number of you run a 245/275 combo with no issues but I want to use a 235/40/19 and 265/35/19 setup in Michelin PSS. (So, slightly taller than OE which actually is what I want, and slightly wider). 3) I'll be ordering wheels in 19x8.5" and 19x9.5" but the company wants me to specify the desired offset. 4) Assuming that the extra 10mm tire width and 12mm wheel width would be all to the inside, what should I specify as the offset? Am I correct in taking 10/2 adding it to 12/2 = 11 and therefore adding 10 or 11mm to the OE ET's of 42 and 30 to get the look I want? |

He means without spacers. It doesn't make sense for you to continue to run spacers. If you do you'll end up with weird offsets no one will ever want with no real benefit and even a few cons. No reason why you can't just store your extended lugs and spacers with the OEM wheels
Rest of the plan sounds great, no reason why 235/40/19x8.5 and 265/35/19x9.5 wouldn't work well.
