Sorry for making a new thread but ive searched around and the offset kinda confuses me so im posting it here for 8th gen coupe. Im planning on getting some Axis Penta in 19s. Im wondering what offset do i need? And also where is the best/cheapest place i can pick up a set? Also is it possible to put a wheel spacer in the back so push the wheel out more so i dont need to do staggered to pull up the space?


Size Offset Bolt Pattern

19" x 8.5" 35 5-114.3mm

19" x 8.5" 45 5-114.3mm

Go with 45 offset.

With 35, wheels will stick out 1.3 inches more than stock. With 45, wheels will stick out .90 inches more than stock.

If you are or plan to lower, I believe you'll rub with 35 offset wheels. Of course, you could always roll your fenders, run negative camber, and go with stretched tires to get around the problem.

Thank you for your help and offset 45 will be fine for the front and back correct?

Also would i need to buy a new set of TPMS for the wheels or can i remove them from my old and put them in the new? Or should i just buy a new set, how much do they run for?

i am planning to lower the car about an inch with the pro kit, i guess that means if i dont want all that hassle i should just go with offset 45s

I would suggest you can use your old ones. You can put new ones in but you have to bring it to the dealership to have your car learn the new sensors.

does it matter which TPMS sensor goes on which wheel order or are they all the same?

40mm offset is lowest I owuld go but staying with 45 is safe, I plan on doing 8.5 front and 9 rims on the back with 45 offset.

will 19 X 9 fit in the back with 45 offset? but then it would be staggered correct? Im thinking about just using a wheel spacer to push it out more so its not staggered and i can still rotate my wheels when i can.
