Do you really want 9" rears?

Yeah, why not? If you want a square setup, this is the best an F30 can pull off.

Why not 9" rear? I was even told to go with 19x8.5 ET35 Square with 225/40/19 to be closest to stock.

Would 9" be better for looks and with what tires?

I haven't seen that exact setup anywhere, but seen plenty of 9" ET35 front wheels with 245's. All claim no rubbing and they look nice and flush.

[kromix]

This is what I found based on some online calculator based on 19x9 ET35 with 245's and the stock oem 393's 17"

Ha, I see I'm answering your Q's here and at BF. I really think you'll be ok man.

haha yea, gotta ask in both places to get the inputs of everyone Would really suck to buy the setup and it not work lol


I think it'll work too, only thing i'm worried slightly about now is offset, and it sticking out an extra half inch... hopefully the fronts will have enough clearance

[Blake P]

I've seen 9" ET30 with 245's in front with no problem so I think you're ok.

It's just personal preference. But, I'll be so arrogant to give you my silly opinion.

I think a staggered set-up looks more planted and aggressive. The 355M style wheel is very open. You stand by the rear wheels with small disks and you can see deep into and through the barrel. A wide barrel looks nice to me.

Second, I love concave wheels. The larger wheels appear more concave.

To me, the wider the better for the rears.

[Blake P]

I agree that wider and more concave looks better, but also realize that staggered wheels induce understeer and are not everyone's preference. Just because it's not what I want doesn't mean I won't help recommend an optimal setup for someone else who does.

+1.... Yea I've decided i'm going to do it, def square...

Now my last internal debate is all around

19x9 ET35 245/35/19

or

19x9 ET35 225/40/19


Wouldn't 225/40/19 be better for less chance of rubbing etc?

[Blake P]

If you're going 225's, the offset can be much lower, think ET30 or less.

What do you have on the fronts? 19x9ET35 235/35/19?

If so, what do u think about 245/35/19 in the front?

[DominNYF30]

I have 245/35/19 in front... But there is room for 255/35/19...
