Default RIMS ON EBAY

I just spotted these nice ADR rims on ebay and was wondering of anyone can tell me if they will fit my 04 6s? I dont know much about offsets and rim width...so any help would be great! What is the lowest tire i can use as far as width goes, can i stick with my 215s or do i have to go 225? The auction ends soon so if anyone can help me that would be great!

Hey those are some really nice wheels. I believe they would fit on the car with the 114.3 bolt patter and the -35 offset helps get them away from the inside fender of the car but it just pushes it out a lot and make rubbing on the outter fender a problem. You would def need to roll the fenders and if it was lowered you would prob end up rubbing anyway if you had passengers or made a hard turn. I think are a few others with 19x 8.5 i will try and find them tomorrow. Good luck i think they might work though

As far as I know you'd need an 225/35 tire for an 19"x8.5 rim. I wouldn't recommend getting it. I'm running on 8x18" with an offset of 35 and 225/40 tires and this combo is already very close. My back fenders had to be slightly pulled.

Your posted rims would be 0.5" closer to the inner fender and therefore working against the purpose of the low offset (to get it away from the inner fender/suspension/brakes).

If you're looking at 19" rims, try looking at 19x7.5 with an offset of 42-45. To roll your fenders would be a must.
