What offset up front with 19x8.5 for E92?

lito · 06-11-2009, 11:00 AM

What offset should I run with 19x8.5 up front with 235/35/19 tires for a flush look for an E92. For the rear I'm planning to go with 19x9.5 et25. I noticed a lot of people running et32 up front can I get away with et28 without any rubbing issues. Planning to lower the car as well. Thanks

I'm currently running 235 35 19 19x8.5 et30. Planning to do et25 or et20 with 225 tires. Cambering may be needed since our fenders are plastic and you don't want them to break! But current set up with et 30 just doesn't sit quite flush for me. I'm trying to match my rears too.

35 just to be safe.

19x8.5'' fronts i'd stay within 30-35mm...

+1. I have ET35 + 5mm spacer and my tires are not rubbing against the fender.

Did you have any rubbing issues with et30 up front? Also would you happen to have a pic of that set up.

So that brings you down to et30. So you think I would be fine with et28 then?

Ditto! I agree with Craig.

I think ET30 is aggresive enough.

My 19x8.5 et30 are stock LC size. Running 235 35 19, no issues. Wanting to go lower offset!

That also depends on the tire manufacturer you have. Since sidewall roundness and squareness varies, it might be hard to judge.

Here are my 19x8.5 ET+40 CSLs with 245/35 Falken fk452 tires. Sits pretty flush for me.

I believe LT's 335 had et28 on his LM-Rs... looked great!

That is true, manufacturer's sidewalls can be different. I believe Falken 452 and Toyo t1r have the narrowest sidewalls, while a tire like Michelen PS2 are a little bit wider.

Looks good man! I'll probably stick to et32 just to be on the safe side. I could always add spacers.
