Offset Reference Ranges - "Will it Fit?"

[TooManyHobbies]

Off the front of the wheel well? Could you elaborate? Is it something that could be adjusted out with adjustable suspension parts?

If you do not drag race you may never have the issue, but under heavy acceleration the tire will push forward and contact the front of the wheel well. To combat this you need to replace the bushings in the rear suspension with poly/delrin.

I do occasionally hit the drag strip. I'm planning on doing the whole suspension with a mixture of poly, derlin and even some pieces with roto joints to reduce or eliminate unwanted movement. Thanks for clearing that up though!

so this may get some bashing but what would be an offset for wanting some wheels to make the car somewhat stanced or having a bit of poke.

I reviewed the main sticky and think this will work for a staggered set up but want those that have done it, real results, if this has posed no problems
Rims are
Front
19x8.5 Offset 45 , tire is 245/40/19

Rear
19x9.5 offset 45 , tire is 275/35/19

Both tires are approx 26.6 height same as my current 245/45/18's

I do not want to have tire rub so limiting the rear width. Car is on stock suspension

Again, the front sticky says this should pass
Tires I am thinking of are General Gmax AS03's

More offset for the rear will be needed

So on this set up, closer to a 50 Offset in the rear? Would it rub on the inner or fender edge as currently listed

The lip on the fender is the issue. More positive offset moves the wheel further inboard. A +50 will be close, but should be fine on a 275mm wide tire.

For reference, on the Chevy SS (VF Commodore) the wheels are 19x8.5" +48et front and 19x9" +57et rear. Stock tires are 245/40/19 and 275/35/19.

My thanks to your advice and direction

Now it the process of finding wheels that have that at a reasonable cost.

Only reason I mentions the originals ones is Tire Rack said they would fit no problem, but your advice now makes 100% better sence. Again thank you

Ok, decided against a staggered set up for various reasons, but got some eyes on a this

19x8.5 35 offset with 245/40/19 on all 4 corners

I know the offset is going to push this out 19 mm

Again stock ride height, per the first page sticky, this should work with no clearance issues, just want to be sure so when I get them, when installed, if they rub, my wife will pretty much give me the you are in trouble look

Thanks again
