Square setup question

[Bartly]

So I'm not sure of the back spacing or offset my new GT requires. I'm wondering if you guys who have gone to 10 wheels on a square setup have the same wheels front and back (same offset)? The only reason I would consider a square setup is to allow me to rotate the tires, but then I got to thinking the front and rear sets probably require different offset. Can someone give me a little guidance here. Thanks.

I guess most square setup uses 4 identical wheels, myself included. It works perfectly.
No one wants to remount the tires for rotating them.

There are options that work as a 10" sqaure yes, depends on the brand and style you want.

Thanks, I was guessing so and I may have even seen some posts, but got it in my gut to double check.

I've been like a deer in headlights looking at rims. All I know is black, less spokes the better. I don't have anything picked yet, I like your guy's Project 6gr, you sent me a quote. I have been unable to really look at many or choose anything yet as I don't haven't figured out what backspacing works on a 19"x10" rim. My biggest problem is I have gotten through my whole life with Jeeps and lots of options to choose from not nearly as much $ as this new sports thing (for me). I just have to convince myself I really really need new wider tires.

Wondering if someone can throw out some #s for offset to look for with a 19" x 10" wheel. without that info it's tough for me to look around at what's all available out there.

Are you planning on running stock suspension? Im running 19x10 +30 275 35 squared and its pretty much flush but with coilovers and -2.5 degrees camber all around. you can run lower offset up front than the rear by about 10mm just fyi. Id look at +35 or close to it depending on tire size you want to run.

+35 works well. Less is better for the fronts (+25..+35) and a little more for the rears (+35..+45). A +35 works well all round without spacers. If you went much higher in the front you probably want a spacer. For the rears a much lower number and they'll stick out with a stock height suspension.

I'm running the MMD holgens 20x10 et45 and 20mm spacers so essentially 25 offset and its flush. Id keep a 10" wheel in 20-30 range to avoid running spacers and still looking aggressive.

Thanks guys! That's the info I was looking for. Pretty sure I'm going to stay with stock suspension, told myself I don't need to lower it. Cool, now I can see what's out there in that size range. I appreciate the help.

You always need to go lower

Just a counterpoint... you may think you don't want to lower now, but change your mind in the future. I'd get wheels/tire/offsets based on the possibility of lowering so you don't screw yourself if you change your mind...

Oh, and use Paul at N4SM... he's the best

Problem is that my car already scrapes on the front end entering and departing my driveway. But the thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind.
So if I was to lower it, what would be good offset #s?

I did 19x9.5 +30 with 275's all around. Sits perfect with no poke. I'm lowered on steeda ultralite linears and I don't scrape on anything, but then again I don have a crazy driveway haha

 

[robwlf]

ive been looking at alot of rims and tires .. i know some guys on here that run a 19x9.5 rim 35 offset with 275/35 tires. without a issue at all and there lowered... which is going to be the set up i get next spring

[MENTION=19360]Bartly[/MENTION] Our Avatar is Square 19X10 +35 with 285-35's. It clears without a spacer but we run one to widen the track width.

I'm lowered on FR Track shocks/struts and Steeda Ultralight Linear springs. I have about a one finger gap... running 20x10 wheels at +35 with 285s all around and I have no rubbing.

If you scrape your driveway without having lowered the car yet, you need to move! Having a cool looking car is much more important than where you live
