PICS: Considering 19" Works Varianza T1S,.. again

Recommended Posts

Firstly, I apologize for yet another thread related to my Supra and Works wheels but to be rather honest, I'm quite excited at the prospect of getting some nice rims.

 

Found a contact over in the US that can get me these lovelys for a very reasonable price and very helpful so really tempted.

 

Just need some advice on sizing.

Can anyone shed some light on the following sizes.

 

19x9.5 +24

19x11.0 +29 is about 10 .. 12 mm over the stock setup

 

Any potential problems?

 

 

 

and now for some car porn!

Those widths and low offsets won't fit under the stock wheel arches. As a comparison

 

Stock Wheels

Front 17x8 +50

Rear 17x9.5 +50

 

Proposed Wheels

Front 19x9.5 +24 - They will stick out an extra 45mm

Rear 19x11.0 +29 - They will stick out an extra 40mm

 

Any potential problems?

 

Poor handling

Wheel bearing issues.

People thinking you're a pimp :)

Surely it would be

 

(9.5" - 8" *25.4) + 50mm - 24mm making it stick out an extra 64.1mm on the front

 

and

 

(11" - 9.5" * 25.4) + 50mm - 29mm making it stick out an extra 59.1mm on the rear

 

No?

No?

 

The offset is from the centre of the wheel width, so it's half the difference in the wheel widths, plus the difference in the offsets. I cheated though and used the trusty Offset Calculator

They do look rather tasty. I suppose the age old compromise of sexy looks versus good handling applies. Is the handling really that awful if you put 19's on?

 

I'd imagine 19's on stock suspension would be a tad questionable. But if you slap some decent coilvers on to compensate for the increased rolling radius, and get the geo sorted they're not an issue. I never had my 19s on stock suspension so can't comment, though my 19's with the mods mentioned have no ill effect on handling as far as I'm concerned.
