Thought it about time I said hello. The wheels thread seems as good a place as any
.
Strom STR-2 recently fitted -
Front 8.5x19 et 35
Rear 9.5x19 et27
Really happy with the look, very similar (but cheaper) than the Apex ARC-8

Hi,
Im very curious about your rear offset of +27. Im on 9.5 also but different rims & at +35 offset the outer edge of the wheel is almost flushed with the fender so looking at the your photo Im wondering why the wheels aren't sticking out.
Cheers

What tyre sizes do you have there? I'm looking at similar offsets, want to avoid any rubbing
Thanks
Sorry to your both, I dont login enough and therefore didn't see your replies.
Tyres on the rear are Goodyear Eagle F1's (Asy 5's)
255/30/R19. Two reasons the rear looks flush even with an ET27 . . .
*) The first is very slight camber on the setup.
*) 2nd and the main reason is the profile of the tyre itself. The Eagles have a curved sidewall / shoulder, Pilot Sports etc seem to be more square. They are a nightmare for curbing as there is no tyre protection, but it helps with the illusion that the wheel is flush to the arch.
Your quoted ET35 is only 8mm away from an ET27, so with the right tyre (shoulder design) you should be fine. Mine is also lowered and I haven't experienced any rubbing since fitting them.
