Staggered Asanti wheels

Remove this ad
Yesterday I tried on a set of 22" asanti wheels off of a S550. The lug pattern is the same and the offset almost fit but the rear wheels will hit the brake caliper and the center hug ring is too big. I was wondering if they have a caliper that doesn't stick out so far or should i just take the calipers and have them shaved down at a machine shop. I would really love to put rims like that on my car i havent seen many if not any STS with staggered wheels. If you guys can help me out of give me the offset that is needed on that car front and rear and/or if you have any pics of your STS with staggered wheels on it.

Re: Staggered Asanti wheels

well the wheels have low profile tires the problem is the offset. The width is perfect front and rear.

Re: Staggered Asanti wheels

Hello,
How much are they hitting the caliper by? Could you run a 2mm spacer and clear it? The STS's are hard cars to match wheels to if you are not familar with the application. There are plenty of STS's with staggered fitments. Here are a few on 22's.





Thank you,

Re: Staggered Asanti wheels

Re: Staggered Asanti wheels

Dr. Design, What offsets did you use on the front and rear and what tire size 245/30 front and 295/25 rear? im looking for wheels and im having trouble finding a rimshop that will find me a set to fit the way i want. Im going to have to go the expensive route and just order what i want for the GFG distributor in my area, i already set up an account and all i have to give them is the size and offsets i need, the car is a 5x115 lug pattern correct?

Re: Staggered Asanti wheels

I dont have the offsets in front of me. However the black STS uses a 255/30/R22 front and the rear uses a 295/30/R22.

As for having troubles finding a shop to work with. That doesnt suprise me as most shops have a hard time getting the STS to work with wheels. Give us a call and we can get you taken care of. Bolt pattern is 5x115. As you can see on those images we can get very aggressive on the width of the wheels!

Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Re: Staggered Asanti wheels

well the ones you have on the black sts is a GFG wheel and most of their different designs are the same price. Can you quote me on a set of 4 wheels i can get the tires here locally. and i would like to get the SLT option so i can get a huge rear lip.
