fitment masters... deep lips coming up. questions abound.

[Louis Cyphier]

found some 19x9 +24mm and 19x10.5 +25mm, backpads are looking like O Disc or A Disc, they are pretty flat. anyone think they'll work on a 99 Q45.

These bishez are hella deep. like 5"+ lip in the rear and 4"+ up front

[midnightsliding]

im aure they will work if u pull the rear finders. im sure some else can give u a better awenser.

What size tire you run will (of course) play a role in this, but with the information at hand ...

Fronts should have no problem on the inside, but you're (probably) gonna need some camber and roll the inside of the outter lip, maybe a pull. Really depends on what tire you put on that wheel.

The rears are gonna be a tight fit if not rub on the inside, are you going to change the suspension, will it be a wider shock/strut than stock? And I think you'll be pulling & rolling the rears. Unless, you simply allow them to stick out from under the car, but you won't be as low then. Again, the tire you put on the wheel is gonna play alot in your clearance equation.

Those are my opinions based on the *math* of the stock wheel/tire size and offset.

What sizes are the tires?

[Louis Cyphier]

im not afraid of stretching some rubber ive run 235/40 on a 10", 215/40 on a 9.5 not crazy worry stretch but enough, i'll stretch it good.

suspension, im not quite sure whats going to happen. coilovers, air im not sure right now really.

If so, then with a 2" drop or coilover, they would fit. The rear would look great. The front would look nice but won't be as good as the rear (might need to push the wheel out about 10-15mm more).

I would suggest you to drop the car to the height you want first, then upgrade the wheels later. There're 2 reasons for that:

1. After dropping the car, you know how the wheels sit so it is easier to determine how far you want to push the wheels out.2. The car would look funny and ugly (huge wheels and huge gaps don't go together). What if you're short on money after the wheels/tires upgrade and/or can't find a suspension set up yet? You gotta run around on that thing for a while then the money you're already spent on the wheels/tires would be a waste because it didn't do much in improving the look of your car.

im not worried about getting them on asap. I was actually thinking of pulling em apart and re-doing them anyhow. I'm a wheel re-finishing whore. I've stripped down 2 sets of Fikse FM-10's I had and re-polished them and rebuilt them. i enjoy that ****.

Im working out whats going down with suspension right now, it'll either be Air or coilovers.

I think you're gonna be fine front and rear, might need to roll rear fenders, but based on wheel size, and offset's I've seen on Y33 Cima's in VIP magazines, you should be fine. Can't wait to see your Q come together, if your other cars are any indication, it's gonna be hotness.

I think Falk summed it up nicely...

Those sizes you listed will fit with no problems up front.. like I said on VIP style I would suggest a spcer up front, so the front isn't sunken, while the rear is flush. On the rear roll it good, and see where you stand, you definatly won't need to pull either the front or the rear.

And just out of curiosity, how did you come to the conclusion that this size would rub the INSIDE (i'm assuming suspension parts) ?

[Louis Cyphier]

rears actually turned out to be 19x10.5 et +5

... And just out of curiosity, how did you come to the conclusion that this size would rub the INSIDE (i'm assuming suspension parts) ?

The wheel itself will stick inwards towards the suspension an additional 1 1/8 inches. So unless he's gonna run stretched tires, it will be close. That's assuming no spacer, and if he uses any suspension pieces that are larger in diameter (i.e. airbags, etc).

Lots of "conditions", but I made my calculations based on what I thougt were "most likely" scenarios.

[Louis Cyphier]

so, rears are in fact 19x10.5 +5 ET. Im gonna buy em and test-fit this weekend i think and go from there. If they dont fit I can return them within 1 week.
