Replacement wheel advise
Wondering if I could get feedback on style of wheels that have replaced the originals on roadster limited? I know that I need 18x7.5 on the front and 19x9 on the rear, 5x112... but not sure of the off set. Any advise, recommendations or photos.
I went with 19X8.5 in the front with a 33 mm offset and a 20x9.5 in the rear with a 35mm offset its lowered too in the pics. IT was the last pics right before i traded it in for the srt6... more pics and options if you do a search for 19/20 inch rim thread.
I went with a staggered set (18x8 and 18x9) Mercedes wheels. They have an offset of 32 which is close to stock for the front but not the rear (22mm ET). To get things right I had to run a 10mm hub centric spacer in the rear. The car rides much better by getting rid of the heavy *** 19's and seems quicker and more responsive from a dead start. The tires I used are 225 40 18 in the front which are stock and 265 40 18 in the rear which is about the same in diameter to stock but 10mm wider than stock. the other real benefit is I now no longer have to think about $1,000 set of tires. The price range for 18's is much much better. I still have the raked look because of the larger tire I am running in the rear.
