wheels and offset questions

I'm looking into getting wheels here in the next week.

I'm going with a 19" or 20", haven't made the decision, however leaning towards 19.

I'm probably going to put the same tire size most of you guys run on a staggered setup: 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. But i was wondering do you think I could fit a 285 on the rear?

Also I was reading that a +42 in front and +32 in the rear was a good offset. Any recommendations?

I want to run a 8.5 in the front and a 10 in the rear.

This is a 13 sedan sport lowered on BC's about 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear.

Thanks ahead of time for the responses.

Your offsets are backwards but other than that you'll be ok. A 8.5 +32 running 245/40 and a 10 +42 running 285/35 will be a nice fit. If you run 20s you'd want a 245/35 285/30 combo. Do you have a particular wheel picked out?

leaning towards a niche or vossen wheel

The size and offset available will depend on the model.

im having a hard time finding that particular offset.


Is there any wiggle room to allow fitment of the sport brakes? would a offset of 35 in the front and 40 in the rear still look good and fit properly?

There's room to wiggle. I ran 10+45s in back on 295/30/20s and 8.5+40 on 245/35s and looked good. If you go less positive on the offset you can run less tire but the wheels will start to poke outside the fender lip.
Narrow it down to 3 or 4 wheels and I can get your offsets & tire combos for you.

rohana rc10
rohana rc22
niche m150

Those are the ones that i have it narrowed down to.

I decided to stick with the standard 8.5/9.5 staggerged since that is typically what is sold. Only decided i'm going to go with a 19 inch wheel as well. I wanted the 10 inch exaggerate the stagger more, but i'm sure an inch difference is fine.

Niche aren't a bad choice for the price, Venom doesn't want people to drive on heavier cast wheels when he can find lighter & stronger used forged sets for similar price points.

If you like the look of them and the price works for you, you'll join many others here that have been happy with them.

I would recommend the Rohana RC7 over the RC10, the spokes don't go to the outer barrel on the RC10 and looks a bit off in person (IMO).
Offsets for the Rohanna RC7 8.5+35 & 9.5 +40 and run 245/40 front 275 or 285/35/19 rear
The RC10 & The RC22 doesn't come in a 19.

Niche has the same 8.5/9.5 19s but both have a +35 offset, with that set I would only run a 275/35 in back, the 285 will be cutting it close w/ the 5mm further out w/ the +35 in back.

Just BE SURE to verify brake clearance w/ the vendor since you have the big Sport calipers.

This is a huge help.

Also I didn't realize that the niches are that heavy. Weight plays a factor in my choice as well.

Do you know any other wheel manufacturers near this price? I love vossen wheels, but i'm trying to go over $3k in wheels and tires. Trying to keep it near $2500 as much as possible.

Shoot a PM to VenomGT9, he's been finding a lot of great wheels sets, it's worth a shot.
FWIW I love my Wedsport 18s, they're a square 9.5 +38 offset and each wheel weighs 20 lbs.
Here's a link, and they are a great price IMO.
