Default Rs Penta Wheels

Hi All,
Just Need Some Feedback On Aftermarket Wheels ...i Have Rs Penta Wheels 19x 8.5 Offset 32 Up Front And 20x 9.5 Offset 38 On The Rears I Did A Test Fit Before Fitting The Tires I Think The Rears Will Need Some Hub Centric Spacers To Push Them Out Towards The Wheel Arch As I Dont Think That Will Be A Problem..but The Fronts Seem To Be Very Close To The Wheel Arch Lip I Know It Will Toe In Some What Once The Tires Are Fitted But It Will Be Close So I Am Taking Them Back To The Store For Them To Fit The Tires As They Recommended These Wheels For The Crossfire So If There Is A Problem They Will Have To Sort It Out...so My Question Is Have Any Of You Guys Done A Similar Setup..
Thanks..dave.

I think you'll be fine on the front. I have 18x9 with a 30 offset with no problems. In the rear I have 18x10 with a 25 offset. I think you'll need at least a 12 mm spacer for the rear.

I'm just trying to help owners that have questions about stance and what will fit. (and torture certain people) You'll notice I don't have the center caps on. To get them off the wheels have to be removed so the last time at the track I left them on and ........ I lost the 2 front ones. If I had it to do over again I would get 10 1/2 or 11's for the rear. I plan to get 285's when what I have wears out. Most likely the end of august. (tires last me only a few months) I love this car and hope it lasts forever.

Hi, i am running 255/30/20 x 9.5 offset 37 on rear with no problems .The fronts i have got 235/35/19 x 8.5 offset 45 with a 16mm spacer which brings offset down to 29 .I do get occasional rubbing on outer tyre wall over extreme bumps.I am thinking of going to 12mm spacer to take wheel in enough so tyre has clearance on wheel arch and it should still clear the suspension nut.I am sure with the extra 3mm clearance you have over me you will be fine.
