Thinking about some new wheels . . .

C5 offsets and already wrapped with nittos

18x9 & 19x10.5" with 245/40-18 & 285/35-19 Nitto Invo's

I'm gonna lower my car with Strano's so just wondering if they would give me any headaches :hmm:

Thanks for any help :D

quiet a bit of clearance is going to be needed and on the rear with a c5 spacing i think you will still have to get spacers.

c5's ?
it should be 1.25" adapter/spacer out back on the 19x10.5, that's what i have

Nothing to be scared of.... they have a great set up with recessed holes for the stock studs, then studs that come out from the spacer....

i have used 3" adapter spacers on my s10...i think you have a misconception on how they work. this is where i get mine from

Alright then, you are correct I was assuming longer studs with a spacer. Sooo would it be unheard of to run a 11inch wheel 315 tire with C5 offset in the rear on a lowered (only 1and a quarter inch) car? I assume recentering and rolling the fender would be a must . . .

Really? I was planning on going with stranos because they are the smallest drop. . . How low did your front drop?

I'm kinda leaning towards the forgeline's just to get away from the 5-spoke that everyone runs (for good reason 5-spokes always look good) but I would just like to have something different . . . :D

personally i like the 5 spoke one you have picked look nice and have not seen them on our cars yet

I agree I think the 5-spokes would look good. . . But as I said I kinda want something different, plus the forgelines are a better wheel and very light weight . . . Do U not think the forgelines will look good?
