I don't think you'll get a 10.5 on the front at any offset. The rear will likely fit, as there is quite a lot of room.

The most extreme set up that I've seen is 9.5" x 19" +22 offset, running 245/40/19's.
This needs rolling of the front guards as the outer edge of the tyre will come into contact with the guard lip.
I don't know exactly what clearance to the upright is like, but I suspect it is tight.

If you were prepared to cut away the all the steel guard underneath the flares on the AXIS and trim basically all of the lip on the flare; you miiiiiiight just fit a 10.5, but the offset would critical. I've noticed their website lists no specifics on offset; will they do custom offset?

The lower you have the car; the more of camber will allow you to tuck the tyre under the guard. The amount of stretch you'll need to run will turn the car into a billycart, but I suspect you already know that.

Post pics when you do it. ;)

Vossen? You have seen the big thing in america ans other parts of the world of these breaking. these are made in the same factory as lenso wheels and they charge twice as much. Good luck with them.

I've never heard of Lenso wheels breaking?

Maybe I don't get out enough.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
