Ok so i got my GT-30 Phantoms in 19's. thinking i could get the 20" offsets would be the same since no one else has them in 19's yet. (boy i was wrong)

9.5 +37 Front (hell no 1/2 inch off) my option is to get 9.5 +30 Fronts now (?)
10.5 +37 Rear (fit perfectly)

I was pretty excited to put them on. i put in the rears and they look perfect. and then it turned into hell when i tried to test fit the fronts. i was about 1/2 inch off to clear my bbks.
then i realized that the +37 offset in the front was the C offset. with 94mm Rim dept. ( i believe thats the rears for the 8.5 / 9.5 combo)

so my shop is going to call up mackins for replacement. and from the looks of it i have the option to go with a 9.5 +30 offset for the front. the rim dept for that set up is 81mm. which is 13 mm difference between the +37 Offset C dept and the +30 Offset A, which is 1/2 inch.

If my research is valid, they should clear with no problems. but what do you guys think?

 

** lol blue slate

 

haha

I didn't read the whole thing. Anyways,9.5 +30 will look pretty much perfect. Only concern is what disk type you are getting. You have to understand, although your lip size is downsized, you're offset is also pushed out about 5mm (which isn't much). So 14mm-5mm=9mm is what you're actually going to get away. And since 9mm= 0.354inches, I'm not sure if that will clear your BBK.

EDIT:
P.S. If your face type is more round than flat, this might help clear your BBK.

 

im not quite sure what you mean bu the face type. what face type would the GT-30s be?

 

+30 on a 9.5 wont stick out at all?

 

I say send them back and replace them with 20's.

 

Take a look at the description here. It explains a little.

20x9.5 +35 already is tucked in a little bit. Unless you're going straight factory spec camber (read: not lowered), +30 on 19 inchers are going to look pretty damn flush.

 

thats the thing i dont want 20's like every g37 and their mothers have

 

ok so i think we are talking about the same thing. in the RAYS catalog, for GT-30 it says Offets columnes A, B , and C.

the +37 one i got falls under C which is lease clearance.
the +30 however falls under A which is most clerance.

now what do you think?

 

I cannot give you a definite answer, however, if what you've said is what you're getting, you should clear them fine. So it should be like 14mm-9mm=9mm=0.354inches plus the added clearance of that went from C to A.

I really really hope they clear!

 

i hope so too, im just waiting for Lou, Shariff, or Experienced GT-30 guys to chime in.

but thanks alot Blueslate, you been alot of help

 

9.5 +30 is great.
