19x10.5
 
Y/N?

And pics if you've done it.

I'm going with...


19x10.5 +45 SSR Type-C
255/35R19 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT

Just checking if anyone else has done a 19x10.5... I've seen the 18x10.5 and was very impressed. I'll be running a more stretched tire (love the look) so clearance should be fine. If not then I'll mod the fenders as necessary to make this fit.

But pics would be awesome... I can't find a picture of a 255/35 on a 19x10.5 anywhere on the interwebz... I just want to know how stretched it'll be. Not that it matters... but I'm just curious.

yeah...... this is going to rub beyond belief, especially if you're lowered... might as well cut off the fenders to make them fit!

It actually won't be any worse than a 18X9.5 +35 that a lot are running. You will likely need a fender roll and a bit more camber.......but with the narrower tires it should fit

I run 18X10.5 +43 and they fit with no rubbing and no roll with 275 tires so it should fit

your gonna run 255 tires on a 10.5 inch rim? go at least 285's

it should fit, will look mean as hell

I think Kris is running that width. Not sure though.

tubingchamp 11-15-2008 08:56 PM

Yeah, I've got 18X9.5 275s all 4's and I don't rub (besides the fact I'm lowered too far, hehe)

Ross_Dawg 11-15-2008 09:18 PM

I love the stretched look too... except not as wide: 19x9.0 235's all four

I'm going for a slightly stretched look.

From my experience (I've installed two sets) the Sport Maxx GT seems to run a bit wide (like the Direzza Z1s I currently have).

245/40R18 is bearly stretched on an 18x9.5

I'm running a +35 on S-techs and stock struts and I only rub in the rear with two or three passengers over medium bumps.

My fenders are not modded though. I will be up for whatever modifications I find necessary. I did see 18x10.5 with a 265/35R18... my fitment shouldn't be anymore difficult... easier probably.
