lol you have a turbo and all that but you don't want to roll your fenders? Does not compute. I've already said what I think you should run, but you will for sure need to roll your fenders.
You could run the setup you asked about first without rolling fenders, but I honestly don't think that is the best setup. |
I understand why you don't like staggered setup and I understand that it is not ideal. Now understand where I'm coming from; I don't track the car, and given my power level I need something wide on the back end. I don't want to roll my fenders because every 8 that I've seen with rolled fenders looks funny.

I am all over that. I bought 10mm spacers but now I am thinking of 15mm :) |
you will need to roll the fenders with the 275s in the back jedi's are rolled
you shouldn't be able to tell a roll it is just the inner part of the fender |
If they look funny with rolled fenders, something was done WRONG.
|
You shouldnt notice rolled fenders unless you look from underneath. I was like you and didnt want to roll my fenders. But it looks like im going to have to if i want to run an aggressive set up to say the least.
|
I understand you don't NEED wide wheels and tires up front, but if you can do it and you are spending thousands of dollars I would say to get the best looking setup. That's my .02
|
It's possible the ones I looked at were done wrong, If you say the 19x9.5 42 with 275’s will fit all the way around I'll look into it. If the 10’s will fit I’d rather those but as I said, Looking at jedi’s set up his tires are stretched a bit. Will a 285 on tens fit?
|
Star specs are wider than Jedi's tires. 285s should fit in the rear with a roll and trim the bumper tab. I don't think that would work in the front. Eh it isn't much taller than the 275s so it might work all around.
There are no 19" star specs. |
More I think about it, the 9.5 +42 with 275s would make you happy.
|
FML.. You're right there are no 19 star specs.... Looks like I'm going with kdw-2's, I've had them before and they are pretty nice.
|
Damn, went from some of the best tires to kdw2's? Completely different tire choices...
Well nevermind, you said you're not going to track so those should do just fine. |

Keep in mind, when pulling/flaring, one really needs to have a body shop fill in the creases and repaint for a perfect result. I've needed to do this for quite some time but honestly, it is easy for me to just to put off any sort of body work (hence the stock body :(). Sorry for repeating something already said multiple times haha. |

It means more when you say it.

Okay guys I realize there is little rhythm or reason to this but here you go.

Size: 19x9.5
Offset: 45mm Backspacing: 7.08" Bolt Pattern: 5-114 all around What size tires would you recommend putting on front and back with them? I am not lowered yet but do plan on going with some drop springs so around 1.5 inches. |
Here's an easy one for you guys; putting my coilovers on next week and I want to go low before I space everything out just to see how it looks;
18x9 +31 all around 245/40 tires Can I go as low as I want or what? |
Hesselrode - 275/30/19 or 265/30/19
Grog - With rolled fenders you should be able to go as low as you want. |

Camber dependant and nearly impossible to give you an actual ride height. I'd be willing to bet you could go as low as you want.
|
18x9 +29 rarely rubbed with 245/40 on Jantzens 8 on stock fenders
