Default New wheels help

Im looking to get this spring a set of STERN ST-1's. Now I want to remain with the stock 18/19 combo. Going by the stock wheel specs below:

FRONT:
18x7.5"
5x112
ET 35 (offset)

REAR:
19x9"
5x112
ET 22 (offset)

Problem is I can't find wheels that match the stock specs. I know nothing about spacers and such.

Elites-wholesale.com has the wheels I want but the closest I can find is

Front:
18x8"
5x112
ET 33(offset)

Rear:
19x8.5"
5x112
ET 20(offset)

There are other sizes listed but this is the best I could find. Can someone guide me to what i need?

Well, you have fine taste!

I went 19 and 20.

I'm not sure you want to go narrower in the rear, wider is better. But I'm thinking you are trying to match the offset? Am I right? If so, use this tool:

http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp

Enter stock data on the left and new/proposed data on the right and fitment data appears below. If you do go wider in the rear, 35 mm offset might be all you can find.just add a 15 mm spacer and buy new lug bolts to match length. (You have to buy new ones anyhow. (Ball seat vs. Taper seat).

Figure out what you want for looks, and I'm sure me and other forum members will help you out with the rest.

Do a search on "spacers" and "fitment" and "tire sizes". to learn about some of this stuff. It's all been discussed before.

Thanks for site! Very useful in seeing how everything measures up. See I don't want to go wider, I have 2 new rear tires that I want to use (same as stock). Also for costs reasons I couldn't upgrade. So Im trying to get the tire to fit the new wheel.

If you know the offsets, use the website in the post above.

Stumbled on your thread and just went to their site. I ordered a set of ADR M Classic in silver
18x8.5 35mm
18x9.5 25mm

$640 shipped

Thanks for the link. If you do any sort of spirited driving I would stick with a 9" rim or wider.
