Hi i am thinking about Upgrading the Mags on my Magna was wanting to know if these mags will fit. If not what is the Max Profile i can have for 18inch and 19inch Mags The car is not Lowered just standard height. Have spent over 2 hours trying to find out online with no luck... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1st set- 18" x 8.5" 5x114.3 +30
235/40/18.

Also wondering what the Max i can use in 19inch x 8 or 8.5? profile wise- 235/35 tyres?

Sorry if this in a Noob question just i have no idea...

Thanks for any help you can give me cheers . Tim.

They will fit no problems. Straight on.

Being +30 offset, I do believe they will stick out past the guards. I have +35 and they are at the limit. Size wise is fine, it is the offset that will be your problem.
19x8.5 will fit as that is what I have, but like I said offset is going to be the problem.

On top of that, +30 offset is 16mm difference to OEM +46 which means your track has increased by 32mm which is illegal. Max track increase is 25mm. Also, track cannot be decreased which means offset cannot be increased.

Is that nationwide or just in SA..?

Because that sounds worrying..

That is ADR and SA but each state is most likely not far from that.

Edit: Why is that worrying? If OEM offset is 46+ than you are allowed to go down to 33.5+ offset. You just cannot increase offset beyond +46.

Edit: From QLD Transport (http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/Safety/Vehicle%20standards%20and%20modifications/Vehicle%20modifications/Light%20vehicle%20modifications/Pdf_modification_motor_vehicles2.pdf):
The wheel track must not be reduced to less than the
standard track specified by the vehicle manufacturer
for the particular model of vehicle.
The track of a car or car derivative may be increased
by up to 26mm beyond the maximum specified by
the vehicle manufacturer for the particular model of
vehicle.

They will definitely stick out of the guards on the front, especially at stock height. If your car was lowered, you'd likely have sufficient negative camber to pull the top of the tyre back in underneath the guard.

There's a reasonable chance the rears will rub on the guards on big bumps. You may need to roll your guards.

If you have no idea about wheels/tyres, you should read the Wheel and Tyre Guide in the DIY/FAQ Section.

Thanks guys i thought might be a bit much. The whole offset thing gets me.... That's the main confusing part about seeing if wheels will fit. Shame they look nice, I will have to keep my eye open for a set with the right offset. Also i will go and check out the Wheels part in the forum too.

Thanks again guys.

Tim.

Sorry for being annoying one more thing. So as long as the mags are +35 offset i will be fine, Is that the general consistence?

Anywhere between +35 to +38 should fit fine.

Offset is measured in mm.

A 18x8" rim with a +38 offset WILL poke out the front guards with stock suspension. 5mm isn't a whole lot of difference in offset.

When I had my camber kit installed, the suspension guy accidentally set it to 0 deg camber on the front, and the front wheels (18x8, +38) poked out it was like noone's business.

Dialed it back to -1 deg and they sat nice and flush with the guard.

Interesting. My 18x8 +35 with 223/45r18 tyres sat flush. Putting on 235/45r18 tyres stuck out and had murph die grind 0.5 degree -ve camber to make it it flush.

From memory those with +38 offset with 235/40r18 tyres had no protrusion issues.

Agree with Vlad on this.....my +38 17's DON'T poke out & my +35 18's with a little neg. camber don't either. Both 8" & have 235's.
My +30 16x 8" wheels with 225's stick out 4-5mm.
This is on the fronts, for peeps who are unsure. Rears are'nt a problem.
