with 9.5 +28 you are 13 mm further out than what jedi is looking at with a 9.0 +35
factoring in tires there would be 10 mm more meat on outside with his (considering same tire). that means his would still be further in than yours by at least 3 mm. having stretched the tire on 9.5 the difference is probably greater. crazy aggressive!

with that said, the rear may rub, but nothing that a roll can't take care of.

we just need to figure out the fronts, jorge. lol

 

Good Math; I mentally had it about 1cm; but the tires kind of threw me.

I plan to move to 255 or 265 after I kill these. I am not to down with the whole I wanna be a drifter thing; but they came with the car. Plus it jacks the rims up more.

 

soooo confusing.

 

It is easy; buy what you want and roll em if it don't fit.... HAHA

 

REPOST:

I'm trying to buy the rims tonight. Any help would be appreciated!


wheels
offset:35mm
18x8.5 front
18x9.5 rear

tires
225/45 front
245/40 rear

Edit: found the answer! They'll fit no problem

 

Repost: (I am trying to buy these wheels in the next couple of days, so any help on fitment would be greatly appreciated)

Hey guys I need some help. I read through all the posts in this thread, but am still a little confused. I am looking at buying a set of SSR D5R rims in Gunmetal from kennychopra17. He says they are 19x9.5 all around with a +40 offset. He says you can fit 255/35/19 tires with no rubbing. So my question is: Will these fit rims with either 245/35/19 or 255/35/19 tires fit well so I don't need to modify anything and they won't rub? I don't want to have the camber adjusted or have the fenders rolled. I prefer to get 245/35/19 tires though. I also have upgraded rotors which came with the car. They are cross-drilled/ slotted. Will I have any issues getting the wheels to fit with these? If I need to roll the fenders, how much would that generally cost? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

I think you will be good with a +40; the 245 will be stretched though.

 

I think the wheels would be OK....the tires would need to be a 30 series though to have a hope of being the right diameter..........

 

What do you mean the tires would need to be stretched? I am new with this, so I don't know much about offsets and profiles. Thanks.

 

He means that the 245 would be a bit narrow to fit normally on a 9.5" rim...255-275 would be better.

 

What he said.

 

But will a 255 tire rub? What size tire do i need to have a good fitment without rubbing? I want to get Toyo T1R's.

 

Will Toyo T1R's in 255/30/19 fit on all four with no problems? Also, how would the ride feel with that wide of a tire?

 

You could probably go to 275-30-19...the 255's would be closer in 35 series...I checked the dia's

try http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/tires.html and pulg in the #'s to see what difference you will have with the different sizes

 

the back will probably rub with a 275/30/19 9.5 +40 depending on camber. going with a 255/35/19 should clear it fine

 

So a 255/35/19 tire without anything adjusted should fit fine with no rubbing? This will work for all four wheel correct?

 

I'm just wondering how wide of tires I can get on 18x8s? I've already gone up to 245/40 for my track setup, but now that I'm planning to upgrade from RT615s to some Nitto NT01s, I'm curious if I can get anything wider on them. Any advice? Thanks guys!

 

(If I decide to keep my wheels) instead of selling, I might do a 245 / 35 / 19. I found a set of Avons that I think will do the tick within my budget. What do you guys think on a 19 x 9.5 + 40 wheel?

 

oh crap, forgot to mention I'm running some Negative Camber. I"ll have to double check my invoice to see the specs.

 

For reference, heres some Fabulous Expand Racing 19x9 +24 w/ 245/35/19s

I really think your going to rub with a 255 or higher Jedi. But a roll is cheap.

 

im bout to purchase new rims for my 8...... Going for 19" rims this time....

RAYS GTS

19x9.5 offset 37 front
19x10.5 offset 37 rear

tyres will be Falken FK452 245/35/19 & 275/30/19

These shud fit right? Prolly need to roll the rear fenders a lil.......

 

the rear fender lip protrusion will need to be flattened or removed

 

hi will 19x8.5 in front and 19x10 in the rear 45 offset fit with any problems?
