Enkei Aegis 3pc Setup *** Fitment experts needed for questions

zN3ROz · 07-15-2021, 06:40 PM

Looking to purchase a set of wheels soon, they are 5x114.3 and will need adapters. I've found a set that are 11mm thick. The wheel specs are 19x8.5 +44. My question is how tight will front fitment be running these options. I am on bc coilovers so camber is adjustable.

Heya,

It will be etremely tight fit. Especially in the front.

| am currently on 19x8 up front with an effective et of 30 (I run 10mm spacers). I do rub at -1.2 every now and again in the far corner of the fender. Not a big deal, but also less than ideal. That is with a 225/35 tire. I run 9 ich wide in the rear with an effective et of 39 (5mm spacer). With a 255/30 tire I do not rub, but I have mm's of clearance.

I think you will be fine as long as you pic the proper tire size and are willing to run crazy camber. The front will be your biggest challenge though.

What size tires do you planto run?

PS. Adapters are less than idea. For $1k, there are some really nice wheels out there that are new or newish that have the proper offsets and look pretty dang good. VMR comes to mind, as some of their wheels are under $250 a wheel. To each his own though...

Was planning on like 215s. I'm no stranger to stretching tires and have never had an issue with it. I'm not looking for a generic BMW lol that everyone goes for running VMR but I am still hunting something different down.

Most adapters are 20 to 25 mm thick. That will change your +44 offset to +24 (if you can find 20mm thick 5x114 to 5x120 adapters).

Thats about 15mm too far to the fender to fit a 245 tire, but if you really want to run a 215 wide tire, that will give you the 15mm back.

So based on math, a 20mm adapter will allow you to fit the max size tire in front of 215. Thats if you're not lowered.

Thats a LOT of work to run a skinny tire just to use these rims. I mean if you get them for free maybe I could understand.

I fit 18x9.5 +45 square on 255/35. Needed 8" coilover springs and a 17.5mm spacer upfront. Fender roll all around. Camber: -2.5* F, -2* R.

You can fit these but be smart and use wheelfitment websites. Camber goes a long way.

This is what I used, when calculating the offset include the thickness of the spacer in your calculation.
