Hey guys looking at traveling to Sydney this weekend for a set of wheels. I've spoke to Tempe tyres and they told me that 19x8.5 with a offset of 45 will fit fine. Has anyone here got this size or had and can tell me how they fit. Not really a fan of wheels that sit proud of the guards.
Thanks matt

see the top sticky thread (Gen 4 wheels thread). The first 2 examples are 19x8.5 but a +50 offset rather than +45. They're both running 225/35R19 tyres from memory to clear guards and what not. With a +45 offset you are most likely going to have to think about rolling the guards

Given that you're going to Tempe, I am guessing you're after the VIP look type of wheels instead of performance ones like Advan, Enkeis, etc.
I suggest go to these guys instead
www.eagletyres.com.au thats where I got my wheels for my Jeep and they provide good quality service. I have Dunlop Sports SP Maxx on mine and they're for 22inch wheels!

I have 19x8.5 + 45 offset running 225/35/19.
My car is lowered so I did have to get all guards rolled, and my coilovers put up a lil bit...
