offset question

[Trptguy]

So I was looking at getting a wheel that is 19x9.5 all the way around with an offset of 22.

Or staggered would be 19x9.5 front and 19.10.5 rear. Both with ET of 22

So i have searched the forums and don't couldn't find anyone running a setup like this. Will it even work?

Sorry for the noob question.

The front will be flush or poking out of the fender just a smidge. The rear with either of those will be poking outside the quarter panel, a few mm for the 9.5", and quite significantly for the 10.5". You want an ET for that width of tire in the 40-50 range.

I'd go for 19x10 all around et 35. Fits perfectly.

Sigh. I wish they made it et35

This is the wheel I was looking at. I love the look and I have not been able to find that from another maker that doesn't cost $1000 a wheel

you can just do 9.5 +22 all around. even with a +22 youd need to run a bit of tire stretch and camber to get those flush, i think about 30 offset is flush fitment on a 9.5 with stock alignment.

i'm all for those wheels though. always nice to see something unique.

ET 22 is aggressive

Tire stretch and camber is needed to make it work.

thanks guys. I am realizing that this wheel is not going to work.

Anyone know of a company that makes something similar?

The wheel that you're looking at is actually a replica of the SSR SP1 Professor Wheels here - http://www.ssr-wheels.com/wheels/sp1_181920.asp - You'll more than likely find the right fitment if you go with these guys since they have multiple listed fitments.

I have a feeling you won't like the price though because these SSR's are actually forged, and the replica versions are usually cast and much less expensive because there's little design work needed other than tracing paper, and the fact that it's cast helps with price big time because it's much cheaper to make.

Also it's worth noting that legit 3-piece wheels should be forged, so if you want an actual 3-piece wheel you'll probably see it come with a much higher price. I think some replica manufacturers can get away with it by putting in false fasteners but it's still a 1-piece cast wheel. I'm sure you can find a traditional 5-spoke wheel you like, but I don't think you'll find a legit 3-piece 5-spoke wheel at the price point you're looking for, and also in a fitment which works.

Yeah. That I am aware of. I am coming to the mustang works from the BMW world and I have spent big money before. HREs. With this car and New England roads I have realized it is not worth the money to go with forged. New England chews em up and spits them out just like the rest. So I am sticking with cheaper wheels.

So just so I am clear a wheel that has an ET of 35 would work though?

To give you a baseline, our FF04 fitment is 20x10 ET35 using 285/30/20 tires, and the rear set up is 20x11 ET50 with 305/30/20 tires. Here's what that fitment looks like installed:

Ok that is helpful.

Any mustangs running the c105?

We just released that wheel maybe 2 weeks ago so that wouldn't even leave us enough time to manufacture a set other than the displays we posted earlier that we did on a couple Porsches.

No orders I see for C105 for a Mustang though, not yet. See a Camaro in here, but no Mustangs, COMON GUYS, don't let the Carmaro guys win! lol

 

[Trptguy]

Hahah. I wish I think might divorce me if I ever spent that much on wheels again. I still have a set of alufelgens and forgestars in the shed from the old BMW.

 

[Trptguy]

So just asking again. Will a 19x9.5 all around with ET 35 work?

Just making sure. Wish I was smart enough to figure this out on my own...lol

Works perfect. That's what I have and love it.

Do you have any pics of your setup you could send me?
