these are the ADR X factors, I am really into them, similar to DPKs i think just not as rounded.

they are 19x8 with a +35 offset, will I fit? Tires are 235/35/19.......am I ok with this???

Thanks...

please let me know what you think? Its going on a black 8

I like the rim, but I question WheelMax service and quality. If you do a search you might find some opinions. Not to steal your thread...but others might give you their experiences.

I like the wheel, the problem is all those screw heads. They are a pain to clean, especially with all the brake dust the 8's are giving off.

35mm offset moves the outer edge of the rim & tire 0.6" farther out than stock. That's pushing the limit of having sidewalls rub on the fenderlips. 40-42mm offset's a safe choice for an 8" rim. I don't know if someone's done a 38mm offset w/8" rim here yet or not.

I think that rim is attractive, simple, stylish and not overbearing.

It depends on how many pieces the wheel is made out of.

If the wheel is a two or 3 piece design then those screws are there to bolt the rim together.

typically, multipiece wheels are extremely lightweight compared to their single piece counterparts. the single piece rims are cheaper to make though because the manufacturing process and materials costs are way lower.

I got my winter wheels through wheelmax.. it was a gamble, but I had no problems. Beware all the same. Don't count on them to know the proper offset, specify yourself.
