Offset Wheels Question

Found a decent set of wheels but I believe they are for a narrow body... I have a C4S (widebody) . Wheels are 19's FRONT RIM 47MM AND REAR RIM 62MM. Does anyone know how much of a spacer would be needed or if it would be worth my time? Also, my car came with the 18's GT3 option wheels. I sort of like them but I'd like them to have a more aggressive stance. Would a drop and spacer do the trick? Thanks.

Your OEM GT3 are 18*7.5 et50; 18*10 et65. You did not state the width of the 19's in question. Assuming they are in the neighborhood of 8 - 8.5 front and 10 - 10.5 rear, the et 44 front and the et 62 should sit without an aggressive stance. I personally prefer an aggressive stance. Thus, my 19*10 rear wheels are at et50.

Thanks for the response. The wheels I'm considering are 19x8.5 front and 19x11 rear. Fronts should be fine at 47ET? I'd definitely need a spacer for the rear since its 62ET. A 10 or 12mm spacer? Sorry for all the questions. Just don't want to put too much work into this if it's not worth the look I want.

I've got 19x11 w/ et55 on the rear of my nb. Had to roll fenders. I've read on other posts that an et60 or more will fit without any adjustments to you. Good luck.

Frankly, I do not believe you will need spacers. There is plenty of room back there. Good luck.
