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

[RogueIV]

Man I’m really confused. I’ve seen dozens of people run 20x9 +35 with several wheels such as Niche Gamma, Misano, Gemello, etc without any issues, but then the sales says otherwise due to potential brake clearance. Also, these wheels are brand new to the company and the closest wheel smilies are Vossen HF5.

TBH I don't see why those wouldn't fit around the brakes especially being 20s. I have a similar spoke design on my TSW Neptune and those are 18x8 and I would think i'd have less brake clearance. Have they actually test fit them on a car?

Maybe only 19s have been test fitted? These wheels are brand new to Braelin and they don’t even know their weights yet. Told me they will announce it next week. I really want 20s but I’ll settle for 19s if I have to. Lol

Those look good. Wanting something similar. I have been looking at Curva wheels. From what I have read here you are correct anything over 8.5 on the front gets it really close to suspension parts. That is why I won't do anything over 8.5 on the front. The rear is a different story from what I can find out a 10" wheel will fit with no issues so that is why I was looking at those.

Why try for wider in front anyway? Wider in the rear I can see looking more cool. Wider in front isn't necessary for that more cool wider stance look; and going wider in front also will increase oversteer, which this car already has.

Only talking .5" which isn't much and from what I read it helps with that

Adding a half an inch more tread in front increases oversteer: so, if "helps with that" means you want more oversteer, go for it.

oversteer is fun though

Not to me.

That's what the right foot is for

Well, hanging your ass out and smoking rubber is also not something I want to do: but the world is big enough for all kinds of fun (you Drifter, you ).

Anyone know what wheel this is? It’s mistakenly listed as Niche Misano

 

[MerlintheMad]

Can anyone even see it?

If the wheels weren't black it'd be easier to tell. Here's a reupload:



Oh I found the listing for it has better pics 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 with 20x9 Niche Misano and Hankook 245x35 on Lowering Springs | 1471041 | Fitment Industries

I think they're Niche Verona hard to tell though. @Blueangel

20″ Staggered Niche Wheels M179 for 2018 Kia Stinger GT| Audio City USA Personally like them better in silver, but I'm also not a fan of black wheels.

You may be right. Thank u! They seem to make the brembos pop..

I read the entire thread, and I am still a bit confused. I am trying to get rid of the stock '22 GT2 wheels. Since I have brand new tires, I want to keep them (and TMPS). In order to make life simpler, I am thinking of Niche Vosso 19 8.5 all the way around. I assume that should give me zero tire problems (only adding .5 in the front). When I need new tires I will get something a bit wider in the front.
They are offered in 35 and 45 offsets. I was thinking 35 front and 45 rear? Is that the best solution for this scenario? My goal is simple. I am not going to lower it, or do anything else non-stock (I don't think). The goal is to just look better and cause as few problems as possible.

But in an ideal world, I would love to eventually put the same size tires on all the wheels and be able to actually rotate them. So that would require the same offset. Is that even possible?

Spacers are the only way that you are going to achieve "the look" and also have the same offset, i.e. be able to rotate the wheels. Without spacers the offset is going to look just right in front while not pushed out far enough in back. I say this, going off my setup: 40 offset in front, 39 offset in the rear; 8.5 wide in front, 9.5 wide in the rear, and the front and rear both look just a tad inside of flush:

I should say the more important goal is fewer problems. Would I be better off just using the +35's in the front and +45 in the back?

No, +35 all around would be better. +45 in the rear would sink them inwards another 10mm. More positive offset moves the wheel inboard.

I think this is what I am going to do. Probably gonna pull the trigger today.
