Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires Off set for 19" rims

What is the best off set to use with 19x8" wheels i am planning on using 225-35-19inch tires. I have ground control/koni struts installed. Thanks in advance for your help.

40mm offset is what you should always use

is that ATLEAST or what? because the 18" ADR reactions i just got from the GB is 42+ offset

I am using a 42mm offset and rub like a mofo on 19x7.5 and 225/35 tires.
I didn't rub at all with a 47mm offset on my 19x8 Axis Se7ens with 215/35 tires.
My suspension is dropped 3" with Ground Control and Koni.

i dont believe i'll rub with 18x7.5 with 42 mm offset, even with the roush springs (i hope)

Bernie how does your car ride with the new light weight 19" wheels?

i thought a different offset would screw up your speedo and all that crap

Pretty fackin' bouncy.
Nah, really I can't even tell the difference that much.
I feel it pulls a bit quicker now with the 15lbs wheels than it did with the, 27lbs Axis I had.
If you are looking for a nice ride, don't have 19s with a 3" drop on linear springs. I kind of enjoy it.

I wonder if the leda coilover kit that pascal had will feel less bouncy with 19's and give you that nice 3" drop

Don't think so.
