Going down the road today and hit what must have been a brick and cracked off about a good 8 inches of the lip on my axis hiro 19x8.5's. Gotta order a new one tonight, but I can't tell which offset to get. I have no spacers, and the 19's sit exactly the same distance from the fenders as the stock 17x7.5's. What would be the offset?

PS. I tried the offset calculator, and couldn't make sense of it....I'm wheel retarded I think.

info your trying to get. Nathan

the wheel lip. like from distance from the lugs out. so say your wheel stuck out (has a wide lip) it would be a positive offset or if the wheel has very little lip and most of the wheel goes towards the engine side it would be a negative offset. like your sig. those fat fives would have a negative offset. Im thinking if you measure the lip on the wheel see if that matches up to your options. You don't have the paperwork from when you got them? I doesn't have the specifications on it? Hope this helps and sorry for the novel! lol!

Definitely check the one's you have now. I just got the Axis Decade's and the offset is stamped on the inside of one of the spokes. I didn't have much choice with mine and they came as ET35 on an 8" wheel. I plan on putting 15mm and 20mm (F/R) spacers in... Hoping it won't be too much stress on the suspension, wheel bearings, etc.
