ESM wheels
I'm looking to put the ESM 004 wheels on my g8. They are 19x8.5 et35 my question is will the spacing be right all around or should I buy spacers with them? Also will the stock 245 45 19 tires fit on these wheels right? Sorry if this is a repost or I could have found answers elsewhere but I've looked around a bit and I want to buy them before the black Friday sale is over.
This is what they look like on the G8 incase you were curious. Thank you.

8.5 width wheels and 35 ET do not need a spacer for sure!@!!!!! some may say it sticks out a bit much... and others like it... but it shouldn't stick out too bad....

Ok thanks I'm not to wheel savy and I wasn't to sure how the et35 and all that worked (which is kinda bad considering I work at discount tire) so I just wanted to make sure before spending $750
No problem.... most guys that run 8.5 use 35-40 offset.... if you go 40 it will be sticking out less than the 35..... the 35 will stick out a bit more but I think it will be perfect if you go 35...,

I have VMR V701 19 x 8.5 ET35 wheels on order. I found a website where you can input your existing wheel width and offset and your new wheel width and offset and it will tell you which direction your wheel will be moving and by how much. That calculation says my wheels are moving outward 19mm. It looks to me like I will need my fenders rolled. Anyone else experience this with a 19 x 8.5 ET35 wheel?

Whew - that's a relief. I really didn't want to have to do that. I can't wait to get these wheels on the car. I went with Gunmetal and I think they will look awesome!Originally Posted by Slizzo

We just started carrying ESM wheels and its really picked up! That 19x8.5 et.35 fitment will clear with no issues and you can comfortably run the 245/40R19 all around with no rubbing concerns!
