I was just wondering if these fitments will fit a soarer?

Size: 19x8.0 Fitment: 10/114.3-120

Any help will be great, thanks.

Hmm I'm not to sure this is all he told me about the rims?

Is the offset okay?

You haven't listed anything about offsets. as long as the wheels have a 114.3 x 5 PCD you should be good to go. Make sure the offset is at least +50mm (not HIGHER).

Some people like to be on the safe side mate. I bought 20x9.5 +39 offset and that gave me enough grief. Had to lip my rear guards in order to get the wheels to not scrub.

Dave, I didn't say go for low offsets, I said not to go any HIGHER than +50mm (+51mm~) as they won't fit. As for me I want to get some custom barrels made up (or just get +20mm spacers).

with only 8.0 inches wide, +38 will put the rim about even with the side of the car. Anything above +50 and it will still have that 'tucked in' look the factory wheels have. Make sure the hub diameter is correct or if not, get some hub rings to suit.

If your car is lowered, +38mm is not going to sit flush with the car.

vihn, i can see your point, but they only would have scrubbed if you were running close to zero camber

from all my testing, 2.5-3 degrees if optimum for hard hills driving, and thru the hills, it wears the tyres evenly, but if you were to daily drive it, on purely straight corners, maybe 1.5-2 degrees

and remember, toe is what kills your inner edge of your tyres, not so much the camber setting

+1 with TOE killing tyres. Camber does, but not as much as bad toe will.

That depends on the width of the rim. For a rim thats only 8" wide, it should be about right.

I had 8.5"/+38 on my old car, it was sunken. I guess a 10" wheel +38mm should be flush.
