I have a set if 19 inch racing heart c2 and was wondering what kind of spacers I would need to clear the front brakes. Also would it clear the rears without spacers?

 

Are you asking as in you tried to bolt a rim in front? If you look at the stock 17x8 +38 offset they clear the caliper by 1/4 inch or so. The backs should be no problem. If they don't clear in front I would say that a 5 or 10 mm spacer will get the job done.

 

19" on the CT9A? Please find another wheel in the 17"-18" range

 

19s will look ridiculous but, I just got my nt03s with a +40 offset. It really depends on spoke design on whether they will clear the front calipers. If the wheels are 9.5" wide, you shouldnt need anything for the rear, but for the front, it all depends on spoke design.

 

Hahaha maybe you guys are right about it being ridiculous but its not that bad I think. Anyways im not sure on how wide the wheels are. Also any suggestions on what kind of wheels to put on a apex silver evo 9?

 

Should I just go for something like 18 inch te37 with a +38 offset? Im looking for the ones that concave in. What do you guys think? Or maybe some work vs-xx or work meisters

 

19's are way too big on anything other than an EvoX. The increase in moment of inertia is enough to make you want to walk away from that idea anyway.

Black wheels and or bronze rims look the best on apex. Unless your into the cali thug evo scene please stay away from chrome.

TE37s would look amazing but you better have a big wallet, especially 18's

 

Yeah a big wallet with lots of money in it. Your looking at $3200 + for just the wheels with no tires.

 

Here's a couple good tools for you to gauge fitment:

So whats the best offset to go for if I dont want to use spacers instead of the stock wheels. Or does it depend on the wheels.

 

It depends on the width of the rim. I run 18x8.5 with a 30 et offset and they pretty much sit out even with fenders and quarters. If you go 9" or 9.5" you could probably run an even more aggressive offset/ lower #.

 

thanks for the info. im not looking for something aggressive. just want to make my car look clean.

 

No problem.
