Default Rim-tire size help

After searching and reading for days I think I have a set of wheels picked out and need some help before I order. I have went to the tire/rim calculator, the wheel/tire fitment tool and MULTIPLE threads and soon as I think I got it figured out with offsets and spacers I find another thread that makes me doubt. I am not going to lower the car and could use some advise for wheel fitment or different tire sizes. I am a little worried about the grease cap bottoming out also. I saw a set here recently on a car so SOMETHING should work.
Thanks
Travis



The specs on the wheels with the correct bolt pattern and hub bore size are
Front
19x8.5 with either a 32 or a 45 offset.


Rear
20x9 with a 30 offset
or
20x8.5 with a 35 offset


I was thinking of going with G-max tires with sizes of
235-35/19 on the front
255-35/20 on the rears


These are the wheels.

Travis...I currently have: Front: 235x35x19. Rear:285x35x19..the only issue I have is the front has a slight rub when the wheel is turned to lock. I've had this setup for one year and the latter issue has not caused any problems (seldom do I turn the wheels to lock)..the ride is quite smooth and the grip appears adequate....Carl

Forgot to mention...Front rim is 8.5 and rear is 9.5...BTW. those rims look good

Do you know the offset for your wheels? Although the calculators say they should fit I am worried about the clearance for the suspension.

We ordered our Lorenzo wheels from here. Salesman basically stated if there was an issue they would take care of it. Was really good to deal with. Click through on the set you want.. and it will then show the offsets.

I have been on that page several times. That is where I will end up getting them from. I am trying to understand the offsets and clearances better.

I can understand that.. We got 19 x 8"F and 20 x 10"R not sure what the offsets were (wife placed the order and talked to them) but we had about 3/16 - 1/4" clearance to the inside edge of the fender well on the rears. "They" took care of the offsets required... and the only "issue" was supplied lug bolts were about 1/4" too long for rear wheels .. they offered to get more in the mail.. and I told them I would grind these down and get back with them if there was an issue doing that.

Travish, the wheels I got were the 19x8.5 et32 and 20x10 et35 with a 12mm spacer my tires are 225/35/19 and 275/30/20. Sorry I was a selfish ****, I just didn't want any others to have the same wheels as me so quickly, but it was bound to happen eventually! One of the main criteria I had when I was choosing wheels was that nobody else had them.


however, this was the list of other wheels that I was going to pick from. I'd really love to see a crossfire with any of these wheels!!! they will all fit superbly and can fit as a 19/20 setup too:

Is it OK if he or any of us has the same type of car (Crossfire) as you?
Do we all need to sell them and get something else?
We''ll be waiting . . .

All I asked is why? If you painted your crossfire custom Lamborghini orange to stand out from the crowd and represent your style and then I went and painted it the same exact color the next month, wouldn't you kind of wish I didn't?


Plus wouldn't you like to see Crossfire's with more variation in wheels, any of the wheels I posted would be bad a$s. so why not do your own thing?

No. As in NO. It would be irrelevant to me, it would not bother me at all.
Your critique of his wheel choice is absurd and bizarre.
Are you the only person with those wheels?
Here's the answer: NO. Someone else has them and they had them before you, maybe on a different type of car or maybe on a Crossfire, We'll never know.
There are Crossfire owners who may have those same wheels and may not be CrossfireForum members.
Can you imagine that?
You sound like a 5 year old.

Do you actually read things before you write a reply? If so do you think before you write?
Critique: "a detailed analysis and assessment of something". That's what you did in essence when you implored him to change his wheel choice because you had them first. wah wah wah.

So you've never seen a picture (posted online) of a Crossfire with "your" wheels so that must mean it can't exist . . . are you actually serious?

Customize all you want, how ever you want, go to town, I'm all for it.
Except those shitty shiny chintzy looking wire mesh grilles, for reasons of taste.
You are still welcome to do it. They just look look crap.

Many Crossfire members have identical modifications (other than wheels) as each other, how can you sleep at night knowing that?

I've posted pictures (on this forum) of 2 customizations to my car that nobody else has (because I made them). There were some inquiries about the custom gauge face being made for sale and I thought about it but ruled it out because I stopped working for the company (where made the gauge face) so it ended up being impractical to do. If any one inquired about duplicating, or doing something similar (to either mod)I would have no issues with them doing that, or helping them.

If you had responded to my PM asking about the wheels instead of no reply and said please don't I would have dropped it. I didn't know it was a secret. Then when I first saw the "don't steal my wheels" post I thought you have the same muffler as me you need to change that I had mine first. That's why I don't respond immediately to pokes. I didn't mean to aggravate you about the wheels. I was really trying to figure out more about sizes and offsets and spacers like the thread title says. All is good, really.


I actually like the 5 spoke better but the 5 has a chrome lip and a little different design from the 6. I think it might stand out with no other chrome on the car.

I am thinking about this instead. Although the price doesn't really matter they are about half of the 6 spoke. I see they are made by MHT Wheels so they should be good. Anyone have experience with these wheels? Any inputs?

Oh, and the reason I was asking is because I really like the wheels. You made a good choice. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I know I know Like I said, I am sorry. I was being childish and I feel silly about the the whole thing. Don't let me sway you away from them. Now, if you lived the same town as me, I would have to shank a ****... jk.
