From 8.5" to 9.5"?

LisaLannister · 07-24-2020, 07:30 AM

The new aftermarket staggered wheel setup I am considering have a rear wheel width of 9.5", 1" more than OEM, which means that they will extend approximately 15mm to 20mm more than the current staggered setup, depending on offset.

Has anyone used 9.5" in the rear and does it look ok? What offset did you use with these wider wheels.

Thanks

My car has 255 width (ten inch) on the back and they look great. It is an OEM size on my 3.0si. VMR 718s in Hyper Silver. 18 inch rims with Michelin Pilot Super Sports: 225 40 ZR18 front and 255 35 ZR18 rear. The offsets are 35mm on the front and 45mm on the rear. The two roof closed pics below are with the same size tires and rims, but the rims are the OEM Style 108. The other pics are the new rim and tires, both in OEM size.
