^i'm going to go ahead and say that you meant to type +(PLUS)30 NOT -(NEGATIVE)30

Looks good but you need a BIG drop, lol.

I will need to get new tires next spring/summer. I was running 245/35/19 tires on my 19x8.5 +35 rims with no rubbing. I also have the Tein H-Techs. I'm thinking of getting 255/35/19 tires next. What's the widest tire size I can go with without rolling the fenders or looking stupid (rims are only 8.5" wide)?

Here's what the wheels look like with 245/35/19 tires:

255/35/19 will fit on 8.5" wheel. I used to run that size. Keep in mind the tire may rub on the front wheel well liner.

bassy 11-06-2010 10:28 AM

Thanks, pdxhak.

Will a negative camber (-1.0) take care of the rubbing? If not, I guess I'll have to shave the liner or something.

what 20 in rims will fit on stock suspension set up? do they fit?

I'm -1.7 upfront and still rubbed. Others have run this size and not rubbed. I think it is a combination of offset, tire size, camber and ride height. LOL so lots of variables at play.

The Reverend 11-08-2010 06:22 PM

my wole idea was tire price? if not a good idea i suppose i would make sure i would go with what fit. i want my wheels to set flush with my fenders.

Grog 11-11-2010 12:58 AM

Okay guys, here the deal:

I'm currently +31 all around, lowered on S-techs with 245/40/18s. I'm currently using 10mm spacers.

What I'm thinking of doing is replacing these 10mm spacers with a 20mm spacer, or maybe even a 25mm, making the offset either +21 or +16 all around. I understand that I would need to roll fenders to make this happen. Basically what I need to know is whether or not this is safe to do on just springs; no aftermarket shocks, no coilovers. It's also difficult to find specific offset pictures, so I don't know if +16 would be going too far, because I feel like it might be.

Ross_Dawg 11-11-2010 01:18 AM

What is the width of the wheel?

Personally, I wouldn't go through the trouble of rolling fenders simply to run spacers. Technically, I don't think it would be 'unsafe' to run that setup on your suspension, but the greater question is, "Why?"

Ross_Dawg 11-11-2010 01:45 AM

I think 20mm spacers would be the better buy. Yes, the wheels will look like they are sticking out, but if you get coilovers that will disappear.

You know what's REALLY NOT ANY KIND OF HELP?? COUNTLESS CLUELESS "DUSCHES" THAT SAY THEY WANNA LEARN SHIT BUT NEVER EVEN BOTHER LOOKING THROUGH THE HUNDREDS OF PAGES FILLED WITH ANSWERS TO THEIR OWN QUESTION AND ACTUALLY LEARNING SOMETHING FROM A LESSON THAT'S ALREADY BEEN TAUGHT...

You have the time to ask a question? then you have time to do your homework - spoon feeding information can be looked as baseless information and can spawn more n' more bullshit - do your own homework or SHUT THE FUCK UP.


Here's something you can learn the next time you try n' have an opinion...
