Need help about wheel fitment

[Vietzboi87]

Hey guys I'm picking up my 2015 gt this weekend and I have some wheels left over from my previous car. They're volks te37 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22. I'm planning to lower the car with eibach pro kit. Will these fit fine on the car with these offsets and how wide of tires will I be able to run after lowering it? Thanks in advance looking forward to getting the car.

offset is too aggressive for the rear

for the front your ok, rear you want ET 38-45

that 16mm+ makes a difference?

Thanks for the response, so I wouldn't be able to run the rears?

+45 is just a slight, slight poke by 1-3mm. So +22 is almost an inch difference vs. +45 (2mm more and it would be an inch difference). That seems significant to me.

you can always add camber, and slightly pull the fenders. i'd try it out. also you can stick to a 275 or 285 in the rear for a little stretch.

yes it does, fitments can be off by as small as 3 mm

I mean its aggresive, Me personally hell ya Id make it work but im a bit crazy with my fitments, straight forward fitment rear is 38-45

if you wanna try do what Phrenetik stated

pull/roll camber and tire stretch

Hello experts

Need help with my wheels....
I have a setup of 20x10 front +35 and 20x11 in the rear +33. The rear wheels are poking out so how can i flush it? I have uploaded some pics.

Not much you can do. Its easy to push wheels out more with spacers, but not much you can do to bring the wheels in. You can't really modify the wheels safely without removing material that might be structurally important.

You can add some negative camber in the rear which will pull the tops of the wheels in a bit, but it will only help a little and you'd be sacrificing straight line grip for acceleration and (to a degree) braking. Its worth doing, but it won't help a ton, maybe 1 cm.

Beyond that, it looks like going to a narrower tire would help slightly, but again, you'd be sacrificing grip to get a specific look.

You could look at getting some fender flares and cutting up your sheet metal.

But what I would do is just sell those wheels to someone with a car that they would fit on, and take the money to buy a set of wheels with correct offsets for the S550. You might not loose much in the trade depending on how valuable those wheels are.
