AS above, I need to know exactly what off set you guys are running with 19" wheels, and if they rub etc..My son bought me a set with 20 offset on the fronts. 19x8.5 20 offset

 

Will they fit? I ask because without tyres they look a bit close, and if I fit tyres I cant exchange them...

 

 

Thanks.

offset wil be the same regardless of diameter, but will vary with width. Do a search to be exact but normally it's 35-40mm for 8"-9" wheels

Tried a search and not found anything yet (still looking) front width is 8.5"..

thanks, please see first post, (edited)

there was a post last week with all teh info on it you need bud. cant think who posted it though

Yes, thanks, I saw that. My problem is I need to know from someone who has fitted 19"s so I know for sure. I did a search, and as usual there is so many different ideas that I am no better off.

 

Anyone know for sure?

Offset is not effected by diameter, it is only refrenced on the with.

Off set is the position of the hub face from the centreline of the

wheel in the vertical plane.

20 is too low, it will stick out and catch the arches

I have offered the wheel up (without tyre) and the clearance to the arch is not too bad, its the clearance to the inner wing liners etc when steering that looks worse.

 

Trouble is its not so bad that I "know" they will not fit, but neither is it so easy to see that I "know" they will fit. I have measured until the cows come home but am really no nearer making my mind up.

 

Hence, my hope that someone does have some 20 offsets fitted and can give me a straight answer. One chap on here says he has 10 offset and that they are ok. But I cant PM him to ask.

 

Sorry for going on guys.

I have 18" x 8.5 on the front with 28 offset, they are about 1/2 inch in from wheel arche. no problems at all.

you say youve offered the wheel up, did you have the jack back under the suspension arm so that the wheel would be in its normal running position ??

 

you could also try working out the profile of the tyre sizes your going to fit, cutting a template section from cardboard and sticking it to the wheel in the areas youve got concerns with it aint gonna be 100% but should show if the tyres going to foul.

Yes, I did make sure the lower arm was in the normal running position, but thanks for thinking.

 

Not a bad idea about the cardboard, thanks.
