Axis Elite 19"x8" 5x114,3 + 45 mm offset ?

[Cruising Boy]

Hi guys as i read the other threads these should fit well...but however I want to ask you just to make sure. I really like the style of those rims and I think that they will look great on my black Honda Accord Euro.So what do you think ? Are these rims specifications good ?

I have Axis Wheels and I fit 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back. It Fits. perfectly Fine

Your fitment will be very moderate. not perfect flush, but will sit a little more out.

if they have +35mm, I suggest to get those for a better stance

Do you have any pics which you could post???

, I would like to see that as well, btw are your fenders rolled to fit those wheels in the rear?

So the bigger the offset the wheel gets more close to the fender which may cause rubbing right ? So what do you guys think about 8.5, 45 mm offset front and rear or 8.5 , 45 mm offset front and 9,5 , 35 mm offset rear ? Are these options reasonable or once again I am in delusion ?

If the offset gets lower ( something like 45 to 35 ) The wheel gets pushed outwards ( closer to fender). If going higher ( 45 to ) the wheel gets pushed inwards ( closer to suspension)

To some extent the actual rim width doesn't matter as the overall width of the wheel/tyre package will be determined by the tyre itself. For instance, a 225 on a 7.5J rim will be wider than a 205 on the same rim.

To determine if a particular combination will fit:

1. Consult the manufacturer's data sheets and find out the width of your chosen tyre size when fitted to your chosen rim width.

2. Divide this overall width by 2

3. Deduct the ET (offset) from the figure determined in step 2. This is how far the sidewall of your new tyre will protrude from the face of the wheel hub.

4. Add the ET (offset) to the figure determined in step 2. This is how far the sidewall of the tyre will intrude from the face of the wheel hub into the wheel tub.

5. Measure the width of your current tyre across it's widest part and repeat procedures 2,3 & 4.

6. Compare the dimensions to determine where the new sidewalls will sit in relation ot the existing ones (i.e., the new set-up may protrude 15mm more on the outside and 10mm less on the inside).

7. Using this information, carefully measure on your car to see if there is enough clearance when the car is static with the front wheels facing straight ahead.

8. Turn the front wheels onto full lock either way and then measure again.

It's not foolproof as there are things like chassis dynamics, tyre shoulder shape, etc to consider. But at least you'll have some idea if you're even in the ball park with your new selection.

It's my guess that 9.5J/ET35 wheels won't begin to fit on the rear as you'll need something like a 265/275 tyre, and there's no way that's going to clear using ET35!

10x guys and SilverCU3 most definetly for the great explanation . Now I have something to think about....
