Hello, I am new to the aftermarket wheel game and I'm trying to figure out if Stance SC-6 wheels would fit without fender modifications?

The smallest they make are 19 inches. For the 19x9.5 in 5x120 they have +35/+22 offsets available. For the 19x8.5 in 5x120 they have +35/+15 offsets.

Is this wheel going to fit without rubbing if I go with a relatively low profile tire?

I was running F19x8 ET35 225/35 and R19x9.5 ET45 255/30 on Conti Pro Contact 3's that have a really rounded sidewall and I needed to have my fenders rolled and was running maxed out negative camber in the rear and -2.5 in the front and I was "just barely" ok. I was also lowered on KW's. I only rubbed sometimes, but I would not go more aggressive then this unless you want to deal with major issues.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not currently lowered, do you think I would still have issues with rubbing?

Those are some pretty aggressive offsets even for a non lowered car. They are definitely gonna stick out past the fenders and quarters and will most likely rub. I know that is a great looking wheel, but I think you are gonna have problems.

Yes, because ones the suspension is compressed the tires will smack into the fenders. 1er fitment is high offset so you need a 19x8.5 et35-45 front and 19x9.5 et50-60 if you want to run on stock suspension without fender mods.

Ok, thanks for the info guys. Sorry if these seem like obvious questions, this will be the first time I'm buying aftermarket wheels. It sounds like it won't be easy getting the sc-6's to work

The avant garde m550 are another wheel that I love but don't fit the 1 series

[Nitrous Garage]

Yeah there is limited wheels that fit the 1 series. Check out our site. There are Apex, Savini and VMR. Those are the most popular for 1 series owners.

I checked out your site. There is nothing by Apex that is anywhere close to the 5spoke concave design I'm looking for. Savini has a few that I like BM6, and BM8, but neither of those will fit the 1series if the sizes on your site are accurate. As for VMR I'm well acquainted with their selection, the v705 is what originally made me start looking for a 5 spoke design, but I don't like how the spokes curve on the 705.

Have you looked at the Forgestars?

I have, the cf-5s are the closest to what I'm looking for that will fit no problem. If I can't find anything better I'll probably end up with them.

Those are probably going to be your best option in a standard fitment, unless you go with something custom, but that is $$$$.

So I've been doing some research on how wheel fitment works and I think I get it now. So since wheels like the Stance have a much smaller positive offset than stock, they will stick out much farther from the wheel well than the stock wheels would. Which isn't necessarily a problem, if people don't mind the look of the wheel sticking out of the wheel well somewhat, however, once the car is taken back off lifts and the springs compress under the weight of the car, I'm assuming with a 19" (1" larger diameter) wheel, the top of the fender will be rubbing on the tire. Or is the concern that the front and back of the tire might rub?

[twin fed]

Yeah the concern is that the wheel will hit the top of the fender if the wheel sticks out to much.
