Im looking in to getting some staggered 19 inch wheels and was just wondering how wide i can go on the rear ?

I want quite a deep dish at the rear, im thinking probably 9.5" with no arch mods ?

Any ideas ?

acceleration will be a bit pants?!?!

ive got a turbo going on soon, so it shouldnt be a problem.

a valid point...

I'm sure that would more than compensate for it

It's the offset that can be the problem when you want a nice deep dish. The IS has a high off set. The higher the offset the smaller the dish. I think Mr.Singh has very wide rears on and his are staggered fitment.
I have looked into this myself and only certain designs of wheel will suit what you are after.

You can go 10s on the rear on the right offset... Hell you can go 11s if you were after some serious lippage...

I have 9.5s which came on a +55mm offset, now i'm running +38mm and super stretched rubber.

It won't help with straight line speed going 19s... but the width defo helps with traction

Thanks for the replies


Mr Singh,
What sort of offset would i need to run 10" rears ? as ive just found a really good deal on some staggered 19's
8.5 at the front and 10" at the rear ?
