Default Anyone Running a 19" Staggered Setup?

I want to purcahse a 19" Axis Supermesh staggered setup but was curious as to whether I would encounter any problems with the Quattro system. I would use a 19x8.5 (35 offset) up front with a 235/35/19 and a 19x9.5 (45 offset) with a 275/30/19 in the rear. Yes I will be using a spacer in the rear. Are there any forseeable problems here? Thanks.

Default Why are you using 45mm ET for the rear?

Just wondering since they offer a 40mm ET.

BTW, if you need spacers for your 45mm ET, I have 25mm H&R spacers that I could make you a great deal on.

Default Exact same setup that I'm going with...

I would suggest nothing larger than a 20mm spacer since you may rub.

As for me, I'll hopfully be getting everything installed next week so I'll hopefully be able to tell you what you'll need.

I'm running SuperMesh but with a 40mm ET and 20mm spacers to bring my offset down to 20mm and have no rubbing. If he goes with 45mm spacers, he may want to look into 25mm Spacers, unless the preference are wheels that are further inside the fender.

Default as for the Supermesh wheels, they only come in 45ET for the 19X9.5

or so Axis has told me...

Their website states 35ET or 45ET, however when I spoke to Axis, they said they only come in 45ET...

Default Hmmm. I have 40mm on my TT.

I purchased mine about a month ago. Maybe this is a new fitment.
