Default Techart Formula 19"

Hi Im in the market for 19" rims for the spring. After searching and looking at emails Ive recieved from wheel shops . Who has a C2 Narrowbody or know anyone with one that has 19" Techart Formula. Everything ive seen is for aTurbo and C4S. What is the correct offset and tire size for the Narrowbody. Ive been told so maaaannnnyyy different things. I was told 48mm for the front offset and 52mm for the rear then was told 60mm is the correct offset for the rear from another wheel shop. I dont understand all this offset stuff can someone put it in lame o terms haha. Thanks

Off Set

The positive or negative distance from the wheel's centre line to the mounting surface of the wheel.

Standard OEM wheel offsets for 2002 - 2004 is:

Front 18" diameter x 8" wide with 50mm offset
Rear 18" diameter x 10" wide with 65mm offset

I would not go any lower than 45mm on the 8" Front wheel or 58mm on the 10" wide Rear wheels. Some here have gone will less offset but I think they have had rubbing issues.

I belive that Techart makes these wheels in NB sizes. However, before you purchase make sure to check the weight of these wheels (as well as the offset).

They are beautiful, but very heavy. Good luck!!
