stock height - wheels will fit fine - you can run 275's if you wanted to

lowered a little bit will be a bit tricky - depending on your drop 265/35's would be a safe bet for the rears and you might have to stretch the tire for the fronts - it really depends on your drop.

Fate710 02-24-2009 11:48 AM

if i got a drop it would be tein S.Techs or Eibach ProKit

Atilla 02-24-2009 11:51 AM

yikes - yeah - i've seen 18x10's dumped on 265's and fit w/a little roll in the rear - but i'm not sure how the front will work out tho - 10's will be popping out a little from the fender so i'm not the exact profile that youl could go with to make it work. Maybe 265/35's w/some camber.

Fate710 02-24-2009 12:04 PM

well i think i'll get the wheels/tires first and then try and figure out a drop.

Illmatic 02-24-2009 08:43 PM

Let me start by saying thank you for this thread!

My question is for an Advan RZ 19x9 rim. My offset choices are +35, +38, +45. I want to be as flush with the fender as I can in the front and the back but do not want to go staggered. Is this possible to obtain? From reading the first ~20 pages of the thread my primary choice is +35 but will I encounter problems? Will a +38 be tucked in?

My planned suspension is Tein S-Tech.

I don't have a tire size in mind so if I could get some width suggestions that would be very helpful. My obvious concerns are rubbing when turning the wheel at the front and hitting the fenders. Rolling the fenders is not an option for me.

Will it work? Thank you!

TopGear8 02-24-2009 08:45 PM

^You should be fine with the 19x9 +35 all around with some 255mm tires.

Kane 02-24-2009 08:47 PM

I have 19X8.5 with a +38 and they are not quite flush in the front.... an extra 1/2 inch would be really flush. So a +38 would be a good conservative choise and allow you to run more tire (like 255) - but either the 35 or 38 will fit in the back and likely not rub with a 255 tire.

That is basically the S-Tech height. You can see how my fronts are not quite flush.

Atilla 02-24-2009 08:54 PM

Illmatic: you have good taste - 19x9 +35 should be very close to flush. May need a slight roll if anything only to avoid the fender being grabbed by the tires on rough roads. Aside from that, you shouldn't run into any problems fitting those sexy ass wheels :D:

You should clear, might need more camber in the rear. You won't be flush tho.

Illmatic 02-24-2009 09:21 PM

Thank you for the quick and detailed responses. 255, wow! I didn't know I could go that wide. Is there a tire width at which point the dynamic of the car becomes different? Or is that only with staggered setups?

TopGear8 02-24-2009 09:32 PM

^Well you will have more grip with some 275's, and you can fit 275's on a 9" rim. But you will rub with 275's all around.

^What he said

kenshow2003 02-25-2009 08:57 PM

option1: F: 8*18 +34 235/40/18
R: 9*18 +42 265/35/18

2: F:8.5*18 +35 235/40/18
R:9.5*18 +35 265/35/18

which will look better and do i need to do any rolls to fit either of those sets?

stock height now but thinking to drop the car with HKS S_teck
thanks

9.5 +35 will look the best. You'll rub in the rear

kenshow2003 02-26-2009 09:05 AM

thanks a lot

Big Money Pit 02-26-2009 10:12 AM

about to get some tires (today, actually)

if you had the choice between a 255/40 and a 245/45 on a 17x10 wheel, which would it be?

not daily driven, only for autox and the dragon.

Atilla 02-26-2009 10:14 AM

Imo 255/40

Big Money Pit 02-26-2009 10:27 AM

anyone else?

NightShark 02-26-2009 06:07 PM

hey guys, this is the setup i have planned to run.

F: 19x8 +25 // 235/35/19
R: 19x10 +45 // 275/30/19

I'm going to have the front and rear fenders rolled and am hoping to get as flush with the fenders as possible. The car will be lowered on coils with no finger gap on the drop.

what do you guys think?

Jedi54 02-26-2009 06:11 PM

19x8 +25 and lowered???
That's gonna REALLY tight. Buddy of mine has 19x8.5 +30 and there's some rubbing.

NightShark 02-26-2009 06:21 PM

^^ did he roll his fenders?
cause 19x8 +25 is essentially a 8.5 + 31 ... i thought low 30's with a roll would be ok..
