19" OEM G70 to GV80 - long term issues?

[EvIslife15]

Hi! My father has a GV80 and he wants his car to look a little bit sportier. I found a set of 19" OEM G70 Sport rims for him, and he likes it. But we have done some research, we concluded the offset is different from the stock rims and it seems like we will need spacers for the rear to get them to sit properly. I have never done something with spacers before. So, what size should I go with? And do you think there might be any issues in the long term? I don't know, like handling or wear and tear issues... I would appreciate some thoughts on this one pls

I haven't swapped rims but I'd rather not... especially if you're not sure. It'll just be a waste of money.
I hope others with experience can give more input.

Oh, ok! Thanks! I hope someone else will add a new perspective.

If you want to add spacers, go for the hubcentric one. They're safer.

This is what I did, too, @lazy_boy. I installed spaces on my car recently - 15-20mm hub-centric spacers. Everything is ok.
So, you can count this as an option, @EvIslife15.

Hm, good to know. I will try to read some more things about it and then try. Thanks! I will come with updates.

I've used spacers before without any issues, but it’s crucial that they’re installed properly. The thickness of the spacers will vary depending on the rim design and tire size, so it's important to consider those factors to ensure a smooth and safe fit. When done correctly, they can make a noticeable difference in handling and stance without compromising safety.

Great upgrade idea! From experience, a 10mm-20mm spacer should work, but be sure to get the measurements right. Just keep in mind that spacers can affect handling and tire wear over time. It’s a good idea to consult a pro to ensure a proper fit
