Yokohamas and 38 offsets

ok im looking into some Yokohama Kreuzer Series V and found the following thread.

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...kohama+Kreuzer

he states that they are 19X8(front) and 19X9 on 35 and 30 sidewalls with 38 offset(im assuming all around)

my question is;

- is it safe, for the rim, to ride on 35 and 30 sidewall?

- will a 38 offset work on 8s and 9s wide?

- is there an online yokohama dealer? ....i couldnt find any, but i very well may have missed it, if there is.

We're a dealer for Advan.

However if you had the opportunity to order these I would get them in 19x9 and 10 +45 offset. AS can be seen here:

You can run those tire sizes on these wheels as well and they'll have that nice stretched look. You could in fact run a 275/30 rear.

IMO, 19's are too big for the FD if you wish to have any performance benefits. Depending on the road quality in your area, this might not be the way to go. So is it safe, I'd say it depends. Are you a very careful driver? Can **** happen? Are you willing to not hit your head against the wall if you bend a wheel? hehe. I know i've dented my head a few times for bending or curbing a wheel. That's the worst.

The fitment you've shown is fine for the FD but very conservative in widths for the FD in that diameter. It will work, but you can go wider with the fitments available.

Hope that helped.
