rub depends on your drop, camber, and what kind of roll you have. they should fit

Hi folks!

My question is for tire fitment:
I have 19x9 front rims and 19x9.5 rear rims:

The tire I want to use is:
275/30ZR19

Will 275 fit on a 9 inch rim?

I had these tires on my previous rims, and they are sensational, even for the price. I got these new 9 & 9.5 inch rims with the thought of going to 275.

That's some good news! but I think I'm more worried I'll have to replace my fronts 9 inch wide wheels, to fit the 265s

If I had to replace my fronts, I might as well replace all four rims/tires and get rims that are "most appropriate" for 275s - I'm guessing 10.5 wide wheels would best fit 275?

Thank you so much for your expertise!!
If I had to "replace" rims = 4x 19x10.5 rims at 43 or 40 offset is what I'm thinking.

I need a little help, i am about to purchase the rota p45r wheels, i was planning a 18x9.5 rear and 18x9.5 front, both with a 48 mm offset. i need some help with the tire size as well, i was going with the falken rt615 tires i just need to know if they will fit and the tire size. I was also purchasing the s tech springs, would they make it rub, or are the a good addition to the setup? please respond as i am to be purchasing them in the next day or 2. thx

here's a "for fun" test fit of my MR2 spec work meisters that were on my s2000.

Keep in mind that it has basically no camber since the car didn't move once I set it down. I'm pretty certain that I can clear negative offsets on a 9" width wheel.

PS: my car's stock. I'm still doing research on rx8 coilovers. Already have the wheel fitment measurements down, so don't argue with me on what fits or not on stock body.

17x9 +35 with 20mm spacer = 17x9 +15 with 235/45/17 Dunlop Direzza DZ101

18x9.5 with 30 offset all around? will it fit without touching the fenders? if so what would the ideal tire size be?

Are you lowered? If you are you'll most likely need a roll.

i have a few more questions:

i've been looking at 17" wheels. can i run a 17x10 without rolling, or do i need a 17x9.5? what would the optimal tire size be for this? can i use a 275/40/17 or 285/40/17 (for the 10")...

or should i go with a 35?

also, what spring/shock combo would lower this setup enough to look nice and handle well?

Any offset you want, depends you wanna be agressive, flush, safe? tires depend on offset
