_________________________________________________________

I need help figuring out what offsets I can use for my g50? Right now my car has cali-custom springs (I believe its a 2" drop) with tokico struts. I wanted to run some deep dish wheels, prefreably 18" or 19" rims, that are flush with the fenders. With very little or no negative camber.

I've been looking around at some rims for sale, but I don't know which offsets will work? My problem is, I don't know what offset I would need. If I could get some of your input or advice, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

I'm running

18 x 9.5 +2218 x10.5 +18

camber is front -3.5 to -4* non-adjustable OEM fuca rear is at -5* OEM adjustable camber bolt

for the front, it's still slightly sunk by about 5mm, rear is flush.

as far as ride height, I'm tucking tire about 1" fender to wheel clearance and the rear quarter almost kisses wheel, about .5 to .75". on 18's

So from my understanding, these specs should fit my G50?

front 19 x 9.5 +25, rear 19 x 10 +11

I was running 19x9 +30 and 19x10 +25. Cut my stock springs for about a 2" to 2.5" drop. Fronts rubbed cuz I cut too much and the rears I had to roll the lip flat and pull oh so slightly.... in your case your front should be fine, might rub here and there on the bumps, the rear you'll have to roll the lip flat reguardless to prevent it from shreading your tires. And you'll either have to camber a lot or roll/pull. With those offsets it'll poke out 1/2" more than my rims and my rim is like 2mm from touching the quarter panel at its closest.... what kind of rims are they?

They are work eurolines DH2.Also I was planning on rolling/pulling my fenders. So sounds like the rims will fit, if I roll/pull my fenders?

Those will fit on your G50. It may be a little sunk or not depending on your ride height and/or camber settings. +1 on rolling the fenders

Heres an update. The seller also had a set of Amistad Grace 2 piece wheels for sale. The specs are 19x9 +26 / 19x10 +23. A little less agressive, so I purchased them.

But I have a new question for you guys. Do I need spacers now? If so, what size?

You're missing a lug nut on the driver's front wheel.

Naw, there's a lugnut there. I 'lost' a locking nut down a storm drain and replaced it with a stocker.

So the 19x9 +26 / 19x10 +23 rims will fit flush with the fenders? If it does, thats top shape!

I wanted them flush, so I was just wondering if I would need spacers to achieve the look I want.

Once again, do not space. If they do not achieve the look you want, sell the wheels and get different offsets.
