Advice on wheel fitment
I'm thinking of changing wheels soon and need some advice on fitment. Currently I have on stock suspension:
19 x 8.5 ET 35 on 245-40-19 19 x 9.5 ET 45 on 275-35-19 The new wheels I'm looking at are 19 x 8.5 ET 30 19 x 9.5 ET 36 I'm quite sure the rears will fit without sticking out a lot, however I have doubts about the fronts. My current setup is nearly flush and I'm not a fan of when tires stick out past the body. Is anyone running this set up with those offsets? From the pictures does it seem like the 5 mm will really be much of a difference? |

I don't see too much of a problem unless you want to slam the car ie tuck the tires. I have my coilovers set very conservatively because my city has terrible roads and I'm often loading my trunk full of heavy production gear... I put about 500 lbs worth of sandbags, c stands and other grip crap and it still did not rub. Sitting at 25.75" front and 26" rear ground to fender

And just for those out there who have no experience with this setup, a pic of the 'poke' you will get on ET35 with 275 width tire:

No worries - it does look good, honestly it wouldn't have been my first choice but they were a used set and the deal was too good to pass up. I took a bit of a risk (wanted ET40's) but am quite happy with how they look. Very aggressive, especially from the rear and the poke is minimal enough so that it doesn't look goofy.
