Dealer Says I Can't Rotate Wheels/Tires With Square Setup

[AV80R]

Right...but back to my original question, they couldn't rotate to opposite sides??

The original PP Pirellis are indeed directional...

You could still rotate side to side you'd just have to flip the tires.

Correct

So my offsets are:

19 x 9.5" +40 in the front
19 X 9.5" +25 in the rear

I guess if this looks better I'm Ok with it but why would it look better than having the offsets the same? Just trying to learn for next time. I just feel like these guys didn't really listen to what I was trying to do and maybe it doesn't really matter anyway?

Thanks

If all the offsets were the same. Either the front wheels would stick out of the fenders or the rear wheels would be pushed inside the fenders. :shrug:

Sounds like they installed something other than what you paid for. Put it back on them, make them buy you the correct wheels. Too many dumb thieves running businesses now adays. Hold them accountable.

Wait how is your front a ET 40?

It supposed to be the other way brotha

this car is a low offset front and high offset rear.

Agreed.

[MENTION=21756]Azzurro[/MENTION] if you can jack up one side of your car, test fit each front and rear at the front. If the 40mm wheel does not rub on the strut and is just inside the fender, then you could have your 25mm wheels' backpads cut to 40mm to match. Then all you would need is a 5mm or 1/4" spacer up front. This would yield 40mm offset in the back and effectively 35mm in the front. And that would be almost what I run (35mm all fours with 5mm spacer on the fronts). I receive compliments for the fitment of my wheels periodically.

You could finally rotate wheels front/back, by keeping your spacers always on the front hubs.

I just checked my email again and he said +40 front +25 rear. I emailed again just to see if he meant other way around. :shrug:

Azzuro do your rear wheels poke? Cuz at et25 they should be poking.

A 9.5 ET 25 wheel won't poke. My 10.5 ET 25 poke about 6mm in the rear and are flush in front. Tires could poke if too wide though. Like a 295 or wider.

 

[DivineStrike]

My 10in, et35 with 285s are flush...maybe 2mm of space before they poke in the rear. Perhaps they don't but they'll sure be close

The front is a ET 25 and the rear is a ET 40. Mind to tell you I run a 9.5 ET 30 all around on some square setups like a charm.

Either way you can run a wide square tire all around depending on the tire you can rotate side to side but thats about it.
