I have been looking at after market wheels. I wanted to know what the stock base boss wheel specs are... Front and rear.. offset , weight etc... I did a search and came up empty.
Is there an off set that moves the wheels out a touch with out any mods to the rear suspension? Thanks for any help!!

I've weighed them and they are approximately 31 each. The 302S wheels are 30 and the SVTPP wheels I use are 29 each.

Gotcha, since those are the LS wheels it just seems like a misnomer to have them called that.

The black ones are stock 302S wheels. The LS wheels were red for 2012 and gray for 2013. Maybe this will help.

So the stock wheels weigh.. 31 lbs then.. what about offset? I know they are 19x9 right. Can I do a 19x10 out back without a relocation bracket, and if so what offset?

Stock Boss rims I believe are 19x9 front and 19x10 back. I would take a look at TSW's for 18's or 19's I think the offset needs to be at least +40. They seem to have the cheapest rims that are both light and good quality.

I have the stock wheels on my laguna seca. They definitely look really nice, but 31 lb is heavy. I'm certainly no expert, but with the lightweight bbs offering, for example, you are saving ~40 lb of unsprung weight, and gaining a thicker sidewall. I would bet this would complement both acceleration and handling, especially with the solid rear axle not being ideal for bumps in the first place. A bit surprised the 302s has the same wheels. Anyone more knowledgeable have thoughts on this? OP, let us know what you go with.

Just the front wheel with stock Pirelli tire weighs in at 62lbs..... I did not weigh the rear at that point. The rear I am guessing is about 65lbs with tire.... By no means lightweight!!!
