  • American Racing Rogue Wheels

    Just wondering if anybody has the AM Rogue wheels? I have an 01 WS6 and was pondering the idea of buying them. I was looking at the 18" x 8.5". How do they fit and what size tires? Does anyone have any pics? I would appreciate any helpful information.

    Thanks

    imo, I would atleast get 9.5 with some offset of +45 or better.

    The center of these rims look good but I prefer a wider rim lip.

    like I said, this is just my opinion.

      They need the correct bolt pattern (5x4.75") and the need an offset in the range of 35-50mm. Any less offset and they will be too close to the outside of the fender in the front. Any more offset, and they will be sunk in the wheel wells.

      I'd agree with the comment above.... get at least a 9.0" or 9.5" wide wheel. As width goes up, the acceptable range of offset goes up.

        According to the application guide on A.R.'s website the only listing for an 18" wheel is an 18" x 8.5" with +35mm offset and 156 backside spacing. They do have a 20" x 10", but I really don't want a wheel that big. They don't seem to look very good to me. I agree with pando though. I would like a wider lipped rim, any suggestions/pictures on an fbody?

        Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.

          Because of the large offset, and shallow "frontspace" on the 4th Gen wheels, its hard to have any lip at all. There are people running 25mm offset to get the wider lip, but to me they stick out too far. There's a thread on CamaroZ28.com showing pics of the AR Rebel with the 25mm offset:
