rims and some members advice

[johnnie27]

ok gents, ladies

after about 1 year of looking , and shaddy dealings..venaci wheels!!! stay away

i have found a compnay that is happy to make me some rims that wont break my $$$$

what i wanted to ask is...this

my car has 19x9 et 35 OEM wheels 255/35/19
with my KW suspesion the clearence in the front end is very tight with some of teh suspension assembly components, and also the clearence to the front and rear gaurds is also very tight

can i squeeze a 19x9.5 rim with an offset of 32 ?

someone purchased drews DPE S20 wheels right?? he had the exact same car, same lip same suspension etc..does anyone know what offset they were/are

its a long way to ship wheels, and i have to be 100% confident they will fit, as i DON NOT want to run spacers etc

many thanks for the brains trust

I have MTM bimotos 19x9.5 ET30 with 275-30-19 tyres and they fit perfectly with no chance of rubbing anywhere. My car is also slightly lowered from stock on KW v3's. Hope this helps.

From what I remember, Pat (V8Weight) purchased Drew's (Boosted-Bora) rims that you are referring to...
Pat recently sold the car...

I didn't buy Drew's wheels, but I did have DPE S20's. They were 19x9.5, but I don't recall the offset. I think they were about 32mm, and I ran 275/30R19's. Definitely low...

There's got to be a story behind that photo - why is there an RS6 and a CLS on a trailer next to each other? The CLS looks somewhat modified, too...

Gah! Love those rims. Anyone know someone selling these DPE's (other than DPE for $4.5k)? I'm sure whomever bought pats car is tired of them ;)

I have Volks that are 19x9.5 with an ET of 29 with 275/30/19's. Stock height...fit perfect.1306913070

Great looking wheels but just not the look I'm going for. I'm open to any wheels with brushed aluminum/chrome finishes.

No problem, wasn't trying to "sell my wheels", I know that wheels, like colors, are subjective... I was just trying to show that the sizes being recommended in this thread DO fit on stock suspension also.
