Offset Question...

I am looking to change out my rims from 19 x 8.5 with a 35 off set to a 19x8.5 with a 40 offset. will this work out for me? how much of a difference will this make.

i tried a serch but couldnt find anything quickly. I figured someone would know right away and be able to help me out.

thanks in advance.

I run 18x9.5 all four corners with 45mm offset and 275s...no fit issues. Therefore, your change to 40mm offset will work fine and actually allow you to run wider rubber than before if you want to...

That setup is going on my list of performance upgrades. I hope Enkei releases a version in gunmetal or even black.

5 mm is about the thickness of a check book. not that much of a difference if you ask me.
