19" Axis Hiro

I had those wheels on my 350Z, I sold it this summer and kept the wheels. The specs are:

Front wheels:
19 x 8.5
offset 20 mm
tires 245-35-19 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2

Rear wheels:
19 x 9.5
offset 25 mm
tires 285-35-19 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2

I was thinking I could buy 1" adapters. I took some pics with a rear wheels in place to see what it would look like. It is very aggresive, what do you think?

Re: 19" Axis Hiro

spacers could work, but im sure the bolt pattern is different, so they would have to be adapters. Are you sure you only need a 1" spacer?

Re: 19" Axis Hiro

I'd ty 3/4", but not sure how thin adapters could be made. If the wheels/tires hit, sheetmetal can be moved.

Re: 19" Axis Hiro

The bolt pattern is different so it would be adapters, not spacers.

They make 0.75" adapters, but I will have to cut the wheels studs. I'm not sure I want to do that because I want to be able to switch to my stock wheels.

With 1" adapters I don't have to cut anything.

Re: 19" Axis Hiro

I wouldn't do anything that would space those wheels out any further.

Re: 19" Axis Hiro

It doesn't really stick out. I like it.

Looks like you would benefit from an adjustable Panhard Bar though.
Seems to be offset to the Driver's side.

Re: 19" Axis Hiro

I have to admit that when I read the title and saw 19" wheels mentioned, I cringed a little, but those actually look very good on there!
