Staggered wheels

[Khaos]

Is there anything that has to be done to the car when you get staggered wheels. I am looking at getting the TSW indy 500 Hyper sivler ones. I believe the are 45 in the rear and 35 up front I am ordering tires witht the package from Vq. I just wasnt sure if you need to buy anything seperatley or can just just put em on.

I think you'll be fine... Although im not that sure if you need to roll/grind ur fenders or anything... I believe someone said they fit real nice..

yeah well if i have to modify the fenders that is fine i just didnt know if you needed to buy additional parts to put them on.

You'll be able to bolt them right on. TSW's come w/ concentric rings that you'll slip onto the hubs first. I'd spend a few minutes and sand down the hubs w/ emery cloth and put a little antiseize on first. You will need to roll/grind the rear fenders though. Enjoy them!

I see that you have a set of 19s and I am assuming that you had to roll yours but I am getting 18s plus wouldnt they mention that when you talk to them about the wheels.

u'll probably need to cut or roll a little from your rear fender. i did with my staggered TSWs just to be safe. the offset on mine is +48 rear

oh and on a side note, are the concentric rings necessary?

[Khaos]

What size did you go with?

[ls2alex]

the fronts are 18x8 with +40 et and rears are 18x9.5 with +48 et

I guess I will see when they get here, post some pics if you have some.

[ls2alex]

look in my threads i made a thread on them where i posted pics

just put a set of tsws on 18x8 35offset 235-40 and 18x9.5 48offset 275-40 and couldnt even drive the car till i put drag bags on and set them to 15psi not a problem since the bags went in. If you run a smaller tire out back 265-35-18 they should fit fine, as i ran 265 35 on the oem wheels with not rubbing what so ever

Yes I have 19's and a lowered suspension. I'm pretty sure you'll still have to modify the rear fenders with 18's though. If you have a stock suspension, it's probably sagging. There's a lot of squat under heavy acceleration, plus you'll rub on large bumps/speed bumps.

They're not required, but you'll have to be very careful making sure the wheels are completely centered. If you mount them off-center, your car will shake like hell!

Skinnier tires will work, but what's the fun in that? :turbonaug Just roll the fenders and take full advantage of going staggered!
