Got wheels in, too much offset? MRR VP5

Wow! Yea, that's messed up.


I do like those wheels though!

Have you talked back with Paul since you test fit the wheel? If Paul was sending you +30 offset and you got +20 offset, that is definitely why they are hanging out. Get in touch with Paul, he will take care of this. He has a good reputation for a good reason.

Depending on how it sits with weight on it, you may need some negative camber to tuck the top in.

Get some wood blocks and lower the wheel onto em to see how it sits once the suspension is under load.

I'm running the same setup (square 19 x 9.5 VP5) with a +30 offset. To me it looks like it pokes out slightly in the rear (I like it), but I think there's something off in your pics. I posted pics in the aftermarket wheels thread but i'll re-post them here shortly.

Are you certain the wheel IS a +30? The wheel should be marked inside one of the spokes as to size and offset. If not measure. Ditto on the check with Paul... he'll get it right, but I'd suggest that you be certain as to what offset you actually have first.

That is all...

Ask Paul, it's probably just the wrong wheel. He will exchange it for you no problem if it's not the correct offset which it looks like.

has to be a mistake. paul is pretty 100% spot on when it comes to offsets!

Is your car lowered? Im curious. Im getting the VP5s in 18x9.5 with 275s +30 offset. Do you have any pics of the side anywhere on the forum?

I shot Paul a message already directing him to this thread as soon as I made it. Like some other members mentioned it may be fine once the wheels are under load, because the wheels do droop at an angle a bit. And from my last alignment when I posted the specs I believe the alignment is wrong, so that could be as well. That's why I wanted to post the pics, I'm glad to see someone else running a 19 x 9.5 setup like me.

Paul mentioned that they cut the wheels, so it's possible that they come in as a +20 and are cut down to a +30, but I will check to see if there's any label mentioning it.

That's what I figured

Nah, not lowered for the time being.

You didn't happen to look at the sticker on the box when you got them did you? Did it say +30 offset on it?

Here's a pic of the label
