tire fitment question

looking into some 19x9 38mm offset. Will like to stay the same size all around wondering if 275/30-19 will fit with that offset all around.

The wheels will prabably fit but not with those tires. If you look at my sig you can see what I have on my car. I have no rubbing issues at all with the tein s-tech's.

One problem, you didn't post your link I can go to your profile though.

Well that sucks. If I want to go with 275 all around I guess I have to stick to 18x9.5 in 45mm offset. Want to keep all the same all around don't need stanger fitment

You might want to check with some others but I am pretty sure that you will have problems in the front if you went with the 19x9 with 275.
I have just about the biggest wheels and tire set-up I could go with considering my springs.
Do you have any suspension mods or do you plan on any?

I was talking to the owner of Good Win Racing and he told me going staggered fitment throws out the balance of the 8 when tracking it. Also it make tire rotation easier

Oh yeah suspesion is Tein flex

I didn't know that you were a track guy, thats cool.
No doubt on the tire rotation, considering I can't at all.

How do you like the tein flex?

I knew about 18's I was looking into 19's though. I have 2 rims in mind and I'm not sure which one would look better. I'm going to stick to the 18s but I was hoping to use those strickly for track and 19s for fun.

Hello:
I don't want to take up everyone's time with a bunch of newbie Qs--Is there a good place to read and bone-up on when and if tire changes make suspension mods desirable or necessary?

Thanks a lot,
Jeffrey
