Offset Newb

Sorry I tried to search but I like a few others cannot figure out the offset calculators.
I'm looking at a set of wheels for my Brembo 2013 GT.

They are 19x9.5 and 19x11.
Bolt pattern is right, but I'm worried about the offset. Don't want to run brembos or fenders or yada yada.

It's +20 on the fronts and +18 on the rears...

What wheels?

+20 in the front (with a 9.5") is past the fender. You need to be between +33-35

+18 in the rear is ridic-o-lus. You need around +54~ for the rear (11").

rule of thumb: Higher the offset, less aggressive fitment. Lower the offset, more aggressive fitment.

Cam is right on that. 18 in the rear would be way out there.

Dammit!! Thanks, I thought I was doing it backwards. They're AG M550 wheels, I found ONE set on craigslist across the whole US and it was these. He had them on a Nissan so I knew the 5x114.3 was good but was unsure of the offset. Thanks guys, that clears it up for me!!

Now to finding a set again....

Jason will give you the hookup with a great price, and unsurpassed customer service.

Yeah I got a quote, unfortunately I'm in the middle of buying some other things (engagement ring) so I don't think that I can go new plus tires. Looking at a budget of about $2k or less right now.

Forgestar CF5. 390/ea. Looks very similar to the M550's

Also, FWIW I'd do a 10 on the front!

If you call these guys (ask for Jason or Terry to talk about Mustang wheels) they can get you into some good custom offsets- here is the fitment of my 11" rears-

you could always have the hubs machined down to increase the offset

Haha they're very different to me..and only $90 cheaper based on your number. To me that's like saying cobra and saleen rims are very similar. Just happens to be they're both 5 spokes haha.

There's a set of CV3s with tires for $2500 which might be a possibility, and I really like the STR 607s which are 5 spokes as well, and another member here just got some sexy silver ones!

If you had 2500 to play with the ag M550 could be a option. Just have to find a good deal on tires. I'm really just about 100 over that on my setup

Yeah I just wish there was a used set on the market =/

If mine where not 2 months old. I would sell them to you.
