Work ZR10 19x10.5 +22 275/35R19 squared, oem alignment. I need to run camber to get clearance in the rear. I would raise if i could, but i'm maxed out on raising my car for the tein coilovers i have.

I love that finish. Really modernizes the look of the wheel. What did that cost for the set?
I got them on a Black Friday sale for $1900. Was a really good price
From a site that sells refinished factory wheels? Can you provide a link? Did you need to send them a set of wheels to refinish, or did you purchase a new set?
I've seen pics here on the forum of chromed duckfeet, on a Vibrant Red Sedan, I think.
It looked fantastic.
Does anyone know of a thread which discusses tradeoffs when running a square setup with width and offset details for the OEM Sport Wheels ("Duckfeet")?
I ask because I have a line on 4 RWD OEM 18" Dark Chrome "Duckfeet" wheels for a too good to be true closeout price, but they only have the Rear 8.5" in stock (fronts are discontinued).
I'm pretty sure that the 225/50 18" inch front tire on the stock 7.5" version of the wheel is too narrow, so I'd need to run 245/45s like I have on the rear. I don't think running 8.5" wide OEM Sport wheels all around will cause rubbing issues? But I figured someone with more custom wheel knowledge would know. If this is the wrong thread, let me know and I will start another.
I think the square OEM 18x8.5" setup will work well. The OEM Sport Wheels on the Sedan have a +45 and +50 offset, front to rear respectively. I've got 19x8.5" wheels on the front (Vossen CVT), with +42 offset vs the +50 offset of the 8.5" OEM rears. Plus there's some neg camber in the mix.
I don't think I know what you're driving. (Where's your build thread?) I was assuming you were looking to replace your OEM duckfeet for chromed duckfeet. But maybe not.

Hi Rochester. I’m thinking about replacing my factory duckfeet with the “bright wheel” dark chrome version which was offered as an accessory back when we bought new. I found four of these brand new for less than $600 shipped, but they are only the rear 8.5 inch versions. Seems that many on here are running square 19” wheels at 8.5 inches with various offsets, but I’ve only seen a few discuss running a square 18” OEM sport wheel setup.
The +8 offset of the OEM rears vs your wheels means that the extra width of the wheel would be pushed closer to the inner wheel wheel correct? Not to the edge of the fender? My concern is that the wider wheel and tire will rub, but maybe that’s unwarranted since these are barely wider than what’s on there now.
current wheels are in great shape with zero rash or major scratches (see below), and the front almost new PS-4 tires would likely have to stay with wheels since they are too narrow for the 8.5” rim, so I may be able to sell these to someone wanting to run a BBK on a journey (I see lots of these guys on Reddit)
Perfect set up broskie ! Im new to this forum. I just got myself a 2014 6MT q60 . Looking for the right fitment and couldn't find anything close to what I wanted since almost every page and post online had people posting their super stretched tires lol no one really with a beefy set up. This is perfect though, wish I saw this prior to ordering my tires. I'll be on the stock 2014 q60S wheels that are 19x8.5 front 19x9 rear. I went with 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. I'll post some pics once they're mounted. Should arrive by 03/21/2024. Anyways, shout out to everyone here ! lets go !! I'm so hyped for everyone. Hope more people continue to post their G's, never let it die. Legendary whip both sedan and coupe. Love.
