Staggered wheels

[TrckorTreatTc]

I am having the worst time finding a set of staggered wheels with a low offset for my tc! I have a wide body kit. Im looking to preferably stay at 19' but just cant seem to find much in the 5x100 lug pattern. Theres plenty out there with other patterns but it just seems like all staggered packages i like arent sold for the tc. Id like to go 9.5 or 10 in the rear and 8.5 up front. Also, would it be a bad idea to just buy a set that come in the 9.5 width regardless and just put them on or is it a better idea to invest in adapters to change up my pattern(which i dont wanna do)?? Id really appreciate everyones help and input!! Thanks!!!

spacers and possibly increase the bolt pattern size?

[TrckorTreatTc]

Im already running 25mm spacers..well i was but just sold my last set of rims. spacers help make the rims flush with the widebody fenders but i want that big lip look, preferably without the spacers if I can

gabe youre either gonna have to do custom wheels or adapters... look over on some of the WRX forums the 2002 to 2004 WRX was a 5x100 and i'll take a look around for some nice wheels with a 5x100 if you want we can go to my buddys shop and look through his catalogs

[TrckorTreatTc]

That'd be awesome man!! wheres his shop?

TSW makes the largest selection of top quality staggered wheels with diffrent finishes,bolt patterns, and widths. My GM has a late 90'S BMW M3 and he got the TSW family brand wheel called Beyern it looks sick :)! Go online and see for yourself their awesomeness LoL, seriously.

"TSW will be my first and only wheel choice!"

Tsw is a cool wheel but thats not a genuine offset wheel. Do yourself a favor and look up some real deal offset wheel jdm better quality

i think i may have to do adapters. Just cant find much with a low offset in the 5x100 pattern

[pelly3s]

gabe whats the look you are going for and a budget, theres a lot out there. you might have to spend a little extra and find something 3 piece.

[TrckorTreatTc]

I love the black w/ orange pinstripe AXIS Super Hiros. those are my first choice but i cant find the 19x9.5 for the rear in the 5x100 pattern. Next choice would be the AXIS Shine. By looking at those two sets of wheels you can pretty much get a good feel for what i like.

[pelly3s]

Did you look at Miro?

[TrckorTreatTc]

just did now..i like two of them but of course none come in the 5x100 pattern. Im trying to avoid adapters at all costs cuz if i have to do adapters im looking at having a staggered package with at least 25mm added due to the adapters being so dam big. this process is no fun!!

[pelly3s]

all the miro stp's come in 5x100, check it out on their website

[TrckorTreatTc]

Dont really like the STP models bro. I found the XXR 006 staggered with a gigantic copper lip but no 5x100. they have universal 5 lug patterns, all but the 5x100 which completely sucks. ONce you get up to 19 and 20, cant get anything in the 5x100.

[TrckorTreatTc]

You think a good machine shop would be able to drill the 5x114,3 pattern into my current 25mm spacers?

[pelly3s]

at this point you might have to just sell your spacers and get a set of adapters

[TrckorTreatTc]

Theyre really the same thing from what Ive see. The adapters just have holes drilled in to. i might as well take mine to a shop and have them do that somehow. Ugh this widebody kit is a pain

[pelly3s]

you need to get adapters with studs in them for the 5x114 pattern and they have to be 25mm to clear the studs on the car.

[TrckorTreatTc]

That totally sucks cuz if I get a staggered set then my rear wheels would be poking out even more

[pelly3s]

i would just go 8.5 or 9 all the way around and just get it flush to the body kit

[aalbertson3]

Your best bet will be a set of custom wheels... Gotta pay to play :toast:

[Hotrod]

XXR wheels maybe?

006
507
502

I just got a set of XXR 522 18x9.5 et 38 which puts me flush (without a widebody kit). To get it out further, like stated above, you're going to probably have to go with a custom set up or get a set of hub-centric spacers to push something already aggressive out further to sit flush.

[pelly3s]

hes gotta go with a low offset like down to +15 or less. Gabe if you want me can get together and measure this thing and see what you're gonna need to run exactly

^ Yes; That's exactly what I was getting at. This may help you, but keep in mind that this is for stock fenders/quarter panels.

[pelly3s]

im not sure of measurements but its pretty damn wide. adapters might end up being the more practical way to go on this

[boost happy]

what is the budget range, if you don't mind me asking?

[pelly3s]

i think measuring it all out first will make this a whole lot easier haha

[boost happy]

^ definately. I'm just bored. lol.

[TrckorTreatTc]

you tell me when you can come by bobby and we can do that! Unfortunately my car is on jacks right now so i cant come out to you..call or text me at 204-4097..thanks

[pelly3s]

i'll see if i can look at it this weekend and we can figure out exactly what will get you flush to the body kit

[TrckorTreatTc]

Sounds good

you got a chart like this for a 2nd gen xb?

[boost happy]

no, sorry

[TrckorTreatTc]

ive narrowed it down to five..xxr 526, xxr 527, rota Ik-R, Rota p45, and Miro Type 111..

[TrckorTreatTc]

So ive made my decision. Its going to be the 19' Rota P45's 19x8 in the front 19x9 in the back with a 20 offset. They dont make them in the 5x100 pattern but i am going to have to run spacers either way to sit flush with my widebody kit so I am getting 5x114.3 adapters which are 15mm thick anyway. Hopefully this works out.

[TrckorTreatTc]

Feedback anyone?

[pelly3s]

that should look sick
