If you haven't heard... Discount Tire Direct has a $70.00 off deal on 4 TSW wheels.
Aftermarket wheel pics…
- Thread starter FracaSHO
- Start date
So I was looking at these wheels but I am not sure if they will fit on the SHO...

Anyone know if the 19x9.5 will have any clearance issues?

9.5's up front may be the only issue. Particularly with turning.
Your rear's will be fine.
There are guys that have run with 9's (width) up front perfectly fine.
Whether or not that addt'l 1/2" will be the threshold, I'm not sure.
Usually fellow EBPF member EcoBrickBob is fairly knowledgeable with tire/rim calculations.
If he doesn't chime in here, then try shooting him a PM with your question(s) and/or product links.
FWIW, there are a TON of websites out there (like carID) that tend to "play it safe" as they have a very limited clue as to what actually fits any particular car.
Take for example my staggered set with 10's in the rear, and 8.5's up front.
They'd automatically tell you that "they don't fit". Which is nonsense.
So take with a grain of salt, w/e a (or any) particular wheel vendor site "says".

I figured that someone has tried it... I don't trust info unless it has been actually verified by actually trying. I didn't think the rears would be a problem... I emailed the manufacturer and they have not tried them either. I don't live too far away so I just might pop in there one of these days and have them actually try to mount them and see what happens.
Also I am not even considering going any much wider on the tires...

If you can fit into an eye of a needle.. you could likely get 10's to fit the front. But... there are many variables, including inside rim thickness etc... For instance, I am running 9.5 Borbet 17" wheels with Hoosier DR's on my G8... The BMR trailing links cause the inside of the wheel to rub on them. Stock ones are fine, except I need the better T.R's to hook up... so.. Why go big on front, unless you need to rotate.
That's why you need to buy wheels that will actually go on your car... or buy from a reputable source that guarantees a fit.

Truly aftermarket wheels look superb. Proper wheels are crucial as they can enhance performance, looks and safety of your vehicle. Usually there are two types of wheels available in the market, first stamped sheet metal and second machine casting wheels. However, instead of O.E.M, aftermarket wheels like you can see on iautobodyparts.com remain in great demand as they are available in wide variety at very appropriate price. Really they give elegant and stylish look!

Every time it see your car I cringe.....I got soooo close to buying these rims but you snatched them right from under me, lol. Nevertheless, great buy and they look amazing on your car.Wilson said:Posted these in another thread, but figured I'd drop a pic here as well for reference since not too many have gone with 22's.

That makes three of us. I was pretty close. But, I'm glad I didn't commit, because they're a tad too big for my tastes. Do look sweet, and especially on the Ruby, though.
Have you been getting compliments of them, BDayks?

I'm still in search of 20s. I just can not decide what style I want, 5 spoke something like old school or something similar to one of those multi million spoke style that's very popular today. I particularly like the new BMW '5 style, but I have yet to find something similar to those. If anyone has some good pics from browsing the net, please post up.

As long as the front and rear tires are within 3% diameter of each other it doesn't interfere with the awd system.
