Hey everyone

I have a G50 and I want to put some nicer than stock rims on it. I have some in mind that I like, and they are a reasonable price but I am not sure how good they will sit.

They are 19x8+45 and 19x9+45, and this just sounds rather.... mild, to me. Whenever I have bought rims for my S13 I get much lower offsets. I just want to know whether these will sit flush with the guards, and if not how far in they will sit.

Thanks alotBrendon

All depends on the look of the wheel.

It doesn't depend on the look of the wheel. No matter what a wheel looks like a certain width and offset will sit in the same place. For example my S13 has 17x9+11 rims on the front. No matter what style of rim I get if it is that size and offset they will sit in the same place. Do you know what I mean?

Non standard wider, heavier, larger wheels materially change the braking, acceleration, and life, safety, and durability of oem components. As such these extreme modifications are usually discussed in VIP FORUM.

LOL!! Changing rims is considered extreme? Jesus, this forum IS full of uptight spankers after all... The reason I put it in the Q45 section of the forum is because I have a Q45 and not everyone on the VIP forum does, so therefore may not know the answer to my question.

For such a simple question, I got two complete useless response. Thanks a lot NICOclub.

*x8 and *x9 +45 will not fill the guards as such.

These are 17x8/x9 +38/+41 i think, they sit alright although not quite flush
