Help deciding for upgrade: TSW Aileron 22inch
I'm thinking about doing a wheel upgrade to my 2019 G05 MSport.
Currently have the 741M staggered 21inch wheels and looking to go 22inch (staggered as well). TSW website shows that the Aileron 22inch wheels fit the G05, but their setup is not exactly the OEM Fit. Comparing 22inch staggered OEM setup with TSW Aileron staggered setup: Front wheels: OEM fitment is 22x9.5 ET37 and the Aileron is 22x9 (narrower) ET37 (same ET). That appears to be fine, according to wheel-size.com. Rear wheels: OEM fitment is 22x10.5 ET43, the Aileron is 22x10.5 (same as OEM) and ET38 (big difference from OEM) and this is is something that concerns me a little (I'm no expert on wheel fitment), wheel-size.com says "Positive scrub radius (about 6 mm). Scrub radius will be changed by 6 mm, this may affect the car's handling. Please check manufacturer recommendations. Please be aware that calculated value is approximate." Should I not go with these TSW Aileron 22inch staggered fitment? Or will these fit without an issue? I appreciate your guidance/feedback. |

Also since the fronts are narrower but have the same offset they will also be recessed into the wheel well more than stock. Great looking rims though. |

Front:
Going from a 9.5 et 37 to a 9.0 et 37 will result in the front wheels being 13mm more "tucked" under the car..... which will look terrible. Rear: Going from a 10.5 et 43 to a 10.5 et 38 will result in the rear wheels sticking out only 6mm further than stock.... which is perfectly fine. Nothing "unsafe" about running this setup at all.... but this is just a prime example of a wheel company offering wheels specific to a vehicle, that aren't really specific to that vehicle at all. They have probably marketed those wheels to 100 different vehicles, just because they "technically" fit. The rears will look fine. Probably better. The fronts will look awful, and will likely look like they need spacers.... bad. And, you'll actually have LESS tire on the ground than stock. To match the stance of the rear, you'd need to run a 20mm spacer on the front. |

Make sure the wheels are hubcentric as well. Some companies claim their wheels are made to fit a vehicle, but they “fit” through the use of a hub adapter ring. This is a heavy vehicle, and you do not want that... it will put too much stress on the wheel bolts.
