Default Zenetti Heir 19's

Hi All,

would really appreciate some assistance with choosing some rims, i've read the wheel fitment guide and i know that these wheels have a smaller offset than necessary but perhaps a spacer can be fitted cuz i'm love with these wheels!

Zenetti Heir 19's. (They dont seem to come any width under 8.5)

front rim - 19 x 8.5 +40 offset, 235 tyre

Rear - 19 x 9.5 +44 offset, 255, perhaps a 265?


now according to wheel fitment guide, for a 235 tyre i require minimum offset of +58. (This means i'm 18mm short on the space between the inside of the rim and the wheel hub from my understand of offsets??)

For the rear rim, for a 255 tyre i require a +50 offset which means i'm 6mm short. I assume a spacer can sort this out pretty easily? I'm more worried about the front.

With the front, assuming that i'm correct in saying that i need 18mm worth of spacer added in between the rim and the wheel hub; would rolling the guards give me the extra space i'm looking for? is the wheel fitment guide referring to unrolled guards or rolled guards?


Thanks a million,

Billy.

Spacers will make the offset worse, pushing the wheels out. Your wheels are really gonna stick out then.

Sorry

yeah, you might have your offsets confused. the lower the offset, the further the wheel is gonna stick out, the higher offset, the wheels will be more inboard. a spacer will make the wheels stick out even more. your offsets for the wheels are just too low, especially trying to fit a 255/265 on there. plus, its gonna look sorta funny.
