Default Need Offset for L5 Flares
Im about to get some 19x11 wheels for the Z. I need to know what offset to get them in as I plan on buying the L5 flares and want to fill the wheel well with some 345's. Thanks

don't put a 345 on an 11" wheel.

I have been wondering the same thing. I have a set of the CCW 505a 19X11.5 with 325's in the rear and they just barely hang out of the wheel well and was wanting to do the flares and space the wheels just right. Anyone have any clue as to how we get the right spacing?

mine are 19x12 +59mm w/345s.

i also run a 1/2" spacer but that's optional.
