hello everyone i'm new here and i have been slowly modding my 08 escape limited . i recently purchesed a set of black/chrome 19's but i didn't get all the info before i paid for them . they are 19x9.5 with a 20 mm offset. they are alot wider than i was hoping they would be so not sure if anyone knows if they will work or not. if they do i hope they don't stick out to far. if they don't they will be forsale very soon

Whats the bolt pattern of the rims?

Whats the bolt pattern of the rims?

Rims don't have bolt patterns..! :bang:

The stock offset is 35 mm on a 16x7 wheel, so the 9.5" wide rim and 20 mm offset will probably stick out. Check your local laws about that.

The bolt pattern on the wheels should be 5x114.3, which is 5x4.5".

I think the use of the word Rims is accuate.

Darkscapes Math:

Rims + Tires = Wheels

Ahh I knew better than that...I was doing good by saying wheels in other threads instead of rims....anyways...THAT is what I was going to get to is what the bolt pattern was. I knew the offset...punk!

ooooooooo FIGHT FIGHT :box: :box:

 

[ronnieb55]

i know the bolt pattern is right . they are 5 x 114.3 i just don't want anything sticking out past the fender . i have another month or so to get a differant set of rims so i'm not worried yet

Darkscapes Math:

:beer:

Rim + Spokes + Hub mounting pad = Wheels

Tires = Tires

Rim = the outer part of a wheel that a tire mounts to

EDIT: Okay, a beadlock rim would have a "bolt pattern" - apologies to Scott for the hammer-to-his-faceness ;-|

 

[ronnieb55]

the rims fit but they went past the fender well so i ordered new rims yesterday . they are konig black lace rims with a 35mm offset so by monday or tuesday i should have pics up of the tv's installed and lowered with rims

[jester924]

Just clear up something, the 9.5 width rims stuck out? I've got a pair in mind that I really like but they are 9.5, so I'd like to know for sure.

 

[ronnieb55]

yeah the rims stuck out about 1 inch and the look wasn't the greatest.i just opened the pioneer indash and they sent me the silver dash piece and i have the gloss black

I hope people keep in mind that the center bore also matters a lot.
