Wheel/size/offset and tire/size/profile...can be confusing.

Found these forged wheels with tires on FB marketplace.. So tempted. What do you guys think?

Wheels:
5x114.3
19x9.5 +30
19x10.5 +35
Center bore - 66.1

Tires:
Continental DWS06
245/35/19
275/30/19

Anyone running a similar wheel + tire size setup? Also, what hub centric ring would I need in order for these to fit on the Stinger?

Thanks

66.1 center bore is probably for Nissan/Infiniti fitment. Since those don't look like OEM wheels, almost all aftermarket rims have larger bores so that different size centering rings can be fitted for specific cars. Ask the seller to confirm. I wouldn't doubt if you could removed the 66.1 centering rings and get 67.1 rings to fit Stinger.

Those tires though, are not great for Stinger.

The rears will NOT fit.

For 10.5" rims you need at least a +45 offset, and preferably a +50.

Got new wheels on my 2018 Stinger, Japan Racing JR20

19 x 8.5 +25 - 225/40/19 front PS4s* (BMW spec)
19 x 9.5 +36 - 255/35/19 rear PS4s* (BMW spec)

Low ET since the rims were at risk of hitting the calipers otherwise, conavity is difficult on the Stinger.... Was afraid that they would poke, but ended up looking flush and no issue with the fender. Pic is from the wheel shop, I think they have photoshopped a bit or found a magic angle for the camera since it looks lowered but its not. Own pic below as well.

This thread was a huge help in getting the specs right!

The star version PS4s is just fire, awesome tyres.

Kind of regretting not going 20", but the saved cash can go into sway bars, wing or lowering springs....

wow, +25 in front, really? Ima feeling gobsmacked. never would expect a wheel that extended to miss the fender turning. your setup is very similar to mine. I have 8.5 and 9.5 wide too, but my offsets are +40 and+39. I also use the oem tire sizes in michelin ps4s.

what does 'BMW spec' refer to?

Yeah, surprised me too - i speced +32 originally but the dealer was adamant, said they talked to the manufacturer and they recommended +25 front for these rims. The spoke design does seem to be pretty close to the hub, so understand what they meant now. Worried about caliper clearance, but probably they were also being a bit safe to not end up in trouble since the ET is shaved to spec on the rims. Could have been solved with a spacer if it wouldnt have worked out with +32, of course. But yeah, I was a bit worried about poke but it turned out OK. A 9" with 235s or 245s would have been a no no with that ET however.

The PS4s have some OEM variants, the one for BMW is designated with a star (designed for the M3 I think), it is a more high tech and pretty much just a way better tire than the standard PS4s at around the same price... See the video below:

Hey guys, been looking at a wheel for a little bit but I'm not sure if theres a way to make it fit properly and look visually appealing. Its the Braelin BR12, I haven't seen any posts on it but it has pretty limited sizing so that is probably why.

It only comes in a size of 19x9 with the available offests of 30,35 and 40.

Im not one to care about fitment too much but I don't want it to be glaringly terrible, is this possible?

If anything I will probably go with the BR10 because I've seen a couple posts with them and they look great, just like the br12s more lol

edit- I cant delete this but I have figured out the answer is pretty much no, that is all.

What do you guys think of this on a stinger with stock springs? Would it fit the stinger or cause any excessive wear and tear on the drivetrain?

Custom made Precision Forged Wheels- Forged Monoblock (19lbs each) 19x8.5 +35 front, 19x10 +40 rear with Continental Extreme Contact DWS 245/45ZR19 front, 275/35ZR19 rear

Front offset is good. Tire size is great. It sit flush with the forn fender.

Rear offset can be a +43 and I would go with a 295 tire instead. This way you will have a wider tire without poking out of the quarter panel.

 

[socalvn]

+43 and a 285/295

What if I decide to go a square setup with 19x8.5 rims and 255/35/19 tires. What offset do you recommend so the front's don't rub?

For the front axle, stay as close to the stock 34mm offset as you can, so as to maintain the same scrub radius. ET35 should clear the strut no problem with 8.5" rim.

I am slightly clueless but learning as I look more into it, Is a square 18 wheel set up doable with eibach lowering springs?

Im not sure if lowering springs effect anything so thats why I included it.

For example (from the google doc) 18 x 8.5 et 35 all around w springs

Thoughts?

That's almost exactly what I'm running. Eibach springs and Enkei TFR 18x8.5 ET38, with 5mm hub-centric spacer up front only. If ET35 was available, I would've gone with that and no spacers. Plenty of clearance, even with 255/40R18.

Perfect, I don't really know tire size that well though or what comes with it.

For example with a wheel set up of 18 x 8.5 et 35, how do I know what tire to get? I used all my knowledge skill points on under the hood stuff and completely skipped over wheels/suspension/tire.

When looking at performance is there any general rule for tire? (talking about size not summer/winter/grip) I've heard some people say they've bent rims on the stinger without _ inches of side wall, can I tell how many inches of sidewall I will have when looking at the tire size?

(Sorry for turning this into a Q&A)

If you are new to tire sizing, the most straightforward answer is go with a tire with rolling diameter very close to the OEM tire. For 18x8.5, that would be 255/40R18. Depending on what your intended use is for this particular set of tires, you can tweak the sizing up or down some. Go to a site like TireRack, look up specs of the tire you are interested in, and compare the "revs per mile" number.

Whip out your calculator... for 255/40R18, side wall height = 255mm x 0.40 = 102mm (4.02")

If you are worried about bent rims, going with 18" wheels is a savef bet. However, there is no guarantee 18s won't bend/crack if you hit a pothole big enough. Friend of mine blew two tires (stock size mounted on stock 18x8 rims on the same side) on his Stinger GT-Line. There are a lot of variables that determines how the tire might take the hit. That can include the weight of the wheel. The heavier the wheel is, the lazier it would be to move upon impact, leaving it entirely to the tire to absorb the shock. How wide the tire tread is relative to the rim also changes how the tire sidewall deforms to absorb the impact. The wider the rim you mount a given tire width, the more the sidewalls will be "stretched". That reduce tire squirm, which improves turn-in response, but it also reduces tire compliance and increase the likelihood of a pinch flat.

Like most things automotive, it's a compromise. You decide what is more important and what you are willing to sacrifice.

Thank you for the in-depth response, it will help me out a lot.

Did you get them mounted yet?

Got them on finally! Rear could use a more aggressive wheel so im ordering a new pair, probably put a 5 mil spacer in the rear.
Went with continental extremecontact sport 02 in 255/40/18 all around, no rubbing either with the adjustable camber in the front from the riaction coilovers!

How do you like your coilovers I recently installed those ?

Good so far! Mostly street driven and its pretty compliant, need to break them in and have the suspension settle before an alignment so I have a better verdict/impression of them!
