Wheel offset and fitment

[super6vt1998]

Hey guys I'm wanting to get 19 inch by 9.5 wheels front and back they're te37 copies, basically I can get them in any offset 0-40, what offset would I need to fit them at the front and also for the back, I assume I'll need coil-overs for the front so the wheels clear the struts, they're an option if 8.5 front 15-40 offset should I just go 8.5 with a more aggressive offset something like +30 front?

Anyone ? Help would be appreciated

check offset of your current wheels, get out the tape measure and work out how far you can bring them out, then do the math

19x8.5 45P wheels will fit the front no worrys n no issues with hitting struts either.

Can't comment on rear

I worked it out
Going 19x8.5 35 or 40 front
Going 19x8.5 35 rear
Going high offsets so I can play with spacers if I need to !!!

Or you could put in the extra work and have proper fitment without the need for spacers

If the rear wheels stick out too far which they will spacers wont help.
The offset you have chosen for the rear is similar to BMW 5 series which stick out on commodores.
Also what tyres are you going to run, stance look with tiny tyres stretched or fat rubber.
HSV VE 9.5" rub the inside rear guard with 50P, 45P pulls just off the inner guard and shock.
Fronts wheels will sit flush with 40P as I have same but rears in 9.5 need 45-40P to stay under the guards.

Wheels only can go to +40, planning on running 255 rears, 245 fronts
Reckon go +40 front and back

You do realise that as the positive offset number gets less the more the wheel sticks out.
So a +40 wheel sits more outward by 5mm than a +45 offset and so on
My rear wheels are 8.5 on a 45mm offset so if I go a 9.5 on the same offset then the outside of the wheel will be 12.7mm (half of the 1"or 25.4mm extra width) further outboard than the current wheel.
With a 265 tyre will give me 2-3mm max clearence to my already rolled rear guard.

I'm not an idiot... Decided I'm going 8.5 35 front as it's it's flush and 9.5 + 40 so I can play with spacers to create a more aggressive look if need me
