Question Test Fitment

Hi EvoM,

I could use some advice on my 2009 Ralliart. I desire the concave and flush look. I've been having a challenging time getting the right setup with the tire shop I usually work with. All of their recommendations so far have looked flat, so I'm posting here for help. I took pictures of the wheels they recommended. Is it just me or are these really flat looking...? This seems to be the best they can do for my car.

19x8.5 Tenzo Type-M Version 1




Here's an example of how concave I want them, however I want the tire flush with the edge of my fenders.

The problem with what they are suggesting is the fact that their wheel choice favors a design that comes outward before going inward toward the center.

For a fender-flush fitment you will want to do an 8.5" wide wheel with a +35 offset or an 8" wide wheel with a +30 offset. That's not going to offer you a whole lot of room for concavity, but with the right wheel-design selection, you can probably achieve your desired look far better than what you've posted. Also, I imagine you are going to roll your rear fender lips right?

You then need to find a wheel design that caters to the concave style. A lot of the XXR and Rota wheels trend in that direction and are a very affordable option, though there are many, many others available that you can find with a bit of effort
