Default Probably been asked before...

I know they are expensive, but I have been looking at the chrome 5 zigen Hyper 5zr 19 inch wheels. It is actually a 19 x 7.5 with a +53 offset. I have also seen people using 42 offset and they offer this wheel in a +43 offset. I do not have lowering springs on my car yet, but if I get 19s it will definitely look better lowered (which means I will probably get springs). That means I need an offset that will clear and I will roll the fenders if the need arrises. I would like to use a 225/35/19 tire also. Which one of these offsets would be the correct one for my purpose? Thanks

You're probably better off with the +53.

I'll be getting these wheels as well when I buy wheels. They'd look great on the 6.

I test fit the 20's on mine there last summer:

So if I get the +53 offset and run 225/35/19s, I should be okay with lowering springs? I would think I would atleast have to roll the rear fenders (can't do the fronts) especially if I have four people in the car (?) I really want these wheels, but I want to make sure they will fit before I spend that much for them :D:

Thanks for your replies guys.

hehheheh.

Alright people. 00000 is right. It's just a photoshop of the Hyper5ZRs that I did to see if they'd look any good, as they are what I want.

And I did lower the car as well. You'd still have wheelgap on 20's.

And seeing that they aren't really on the car, no I cannot turn with them on :)
