Negative Offset on Some Meats

Mike_O_Nite

Hi Guys!

I've searched "negative offsets" but I have only found scenarios where the tires needed to be stretched. I'm not a big fan of the exposed lip/stretched look, but to each their own.

What I was looking for: does anyone have some input on running 19x11 wheels with negative offsets, but the kicker is that they must be on some meaty tires... aaaand, I'd prefer not to run some crazy negative camber.

I know that there's a ton of space for our rears, but exactly how much?

For reference, I'm currently running 19x11 +10 [Work Emotion T5R 2P wheels] at stock height (for now) on some meats [Michelin PSS in 325/30R19]...it does poke, but not that bad...and if/when I do lower Lola (she always gets, what she aims for...), she'll sit even better.



As a potential wheel, I'm looking at the Meister M1 in 19x11 -13 (or zero offset set if negative 13 offset is too much).

Would that wheel work/fit with my current Michelins? I may lower the car in the future, but for now, I'd like to see if that offset would work with some meaty tires. Is the only issue that the wheels would be poking out another 23mm? Would backspacing be a potential issue (I imagine that it won't or am I overlooking something)?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions (and please be gentle, I honestly looked around our site).
