Hey guys

Looking at a set of staggered rims for my 2015 3.7. They are 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 and +45 all around will that offset look bad/ stick out?

Thanks!

The wheel at 8.5" wide at +45mm will have a 6.52" backspacing, and will still be tucked under the car .25" more that the 19x9" front Performance Package wheels.

The rears at 9.5" wide +45mm will have a 7.02" backspacing, and equal to many aftermarket wheels that have a non-aggressive offset, such as the Roush and Steeda's wheels.

You would probably be better off just getting the 19x9.5" wheels for all four corners, and if you want to balance front/rear traction without increasing understeer, than run a 10mm to 20mm narrower front tire, such as 255/40/19 or 265/40/19 on the front and 275/40/19 on the rear.

Normally for this setup I would do the following


19x8.5 ET 15-20
19x9.5 ET 30-35

the ET 45 is ganna be super tucked in for the 8.5

if you really want to run those wheels like there is just no other option then definitely consider buying some proper spacers or else the car is just going to look like when you get a flat and your rolling on the emergency donut.
just saying, friends dont let friends drive tuck.:headbang:

friends don't let friends poke out either, much worse than tuck, imo. nothing looks worse to me than a wheel sticking out further than the fender, especially when a skinny tire is stretched over it, and even worse still with too much negative camber to compensate.

IMO, 10mm out from stock is perfect (that's 10mm including tire width). Going from a 265 tire on a +40 offset to a 285 +30 is not going to look good, IMO.
