Wheel offset for VE

Hey guys looking at some new wheels which are mainly listed for euro cars. As the holden uses a bmw pcd am really keen on them.

My biggest concern as usual is the clearance of hsv brakes.

Below is the sizes and offsets available for the rim. Can someone tell me if these will be ok. The wheel is a sort of concave design.

Front
20x9
5x120 offset 20
5x120 offset 35

Rear
20x10
5x120 offset 25
5x120 offset 40
20x11
5x120 offset 28

none of those will work for the rear. need atleast p48 i believe.

Bugger....

GT-I9300T 2

Adam my fronts are 40 and rears are 50 offset. I have a 3mm spacer on the front to clear my caliper and the rear has a fair gap...

Been fed some boloni here Bonners lol

I've fitted 19 x 9.5 +24 with a 4mm spacer effectively making +20 to a VE rear. Sat exactly flush with the guard, and missed the inner lip by a bees dick.

Admittedly, the tyres were 245's with a fair amount of stretch and a touch of neg camber, once the bumper bracket is ground down you can fit some flushness :)

For a 10 inch rear, most aggressive I would go is +35 with a 255, will definately need a roll job and relocation of the bumper bracket.

I am purchasing soon 20 x 10 Vertini Monaco's soon in a +38 rear offset, I'm confident I can have them running with nil issues and retain the ability to carry loads in the ute.

As for the fronts, you can run M3 offsets no problem, all the issues are in the rear. I've seen 8.5 +20 used no problem.

Check out www.willtheyfit.com and plug in the specs, it will give a good indication of what will work in a visible way.

Also hit up Jai on here, I think his BBS CH Blacks were 10.5 +24 rears, where there is a will (or a hammer) there is a way ;)

i think it more the design of the spokes that cause the problem with big brakes not the offset

im running 20x9 et 40 all round the difference to a 20x10 et 40 is 13 mm more towards the guard and a 20x11 et 28 would be 37mm which would be way outside the guard and a 20x10 et25 is 28 mm more towards the guard.
the 20x9 et35 is 5mm towards the guard and would be close to being flush

Im running 19x11 et30 using a 10 mm spacer. As stated its the curvature of the rim spoke design that is crucial to brake clearance.

wow, braver man than I am! How much work went into getting that to fit? You cut away the inner guard at all? I couldn't bring myself to do that.

Any pics?

A little modification!!

lol, yeah not exactly a job for a sunday arvo. Looks awesome though.

Wonder if you can get those rims in 18x11 or 18x12


iPhone in the middle of Farkin no-where

Adam 10.5 in +24 with a 255 tyre is beyond the limits of what will fit without buckling guards. If you want some mad dog wheels that Are 10.5 or bigger with crazy offset my advice is hit up Spohn for shortened control arms, drill out the upper arm and get GeForce custom length axels and you can move the hub in 10-25mm for more room. With my rims I have close to 40mm gap between inside of rim and the chassis.

thanks mate

All I want is 10" wide rims for the rear that are 10 spoke concave like the ADV10's. Do you think I can find a cheap set. NO! Little bit of choice if you go forged etc or actual ADV but I don't want to spend that sort of money. Id even consider 19's to get it right.

bonners, talk to these guys, I was in talks with them to sponsor my ute with some wheels but bought others instead

Thanks mate but I expect they are still a $5000 set of rims
