For those running OEM 19" - need a quick measure

Can someone do me a favor and from the edge of your wheel to the *flush* outer edge of your stock trim *non 4.6/4.8* fender flare owners, can you measure how much space the edge of the wheel to the edge of your trim.

Just looking at #'s.....and wanted to see how the stock offsets correlate to the current trim/body on the X.

4.25" front, 4.40" rear, from the top of the tire to the outside edge of the fender trim. OEM sport 19" wheels and tire size.

THX Tomax. Sorry if I was not clear, but I meant moreso from the edge of the wheel going horizontal.

Just seeing how much play I have with a different offset in relation to the current oem offset/body edge

OK, 3.10" front tire to trim of rocker panel, 3.0" rear tire to rocker panel trim. Hope that helps.

Getting closer. Not toward the rocker trim.

If I'm standing in front of the wheel and looking straigt down, with the stock 19"s, how much space if any.....is it from the edge of the wheel to the edge ~flush~of the wheelwell trim


3/8, 1/2", 5/8"......I suppose nothing more than that .

I don't have the exact #'s in front of me, but if I was to push out the front's 7/16" and the rears 3/4, would the tires be relatively flush with the stock wheelwell trim or extend past it, making the offset very noticable.

OK, 1/2" in the front and 3/4" in the back. I think it would look good as long as the offset allowed full travel of the suspension without any tire to fender contact. Post some before and after pictures if you can.
