only person i know of with them is rotr8 or w/e, and i pmed him already ^^ supplier im looking ta getting them from lists their sets at 19x8.5 front +42 and 19x9.5 rear +48

but i want 9.5" on all 4 corners. is the 9.5" up front going to cause issues, or should i just go with the staggerd setup?

 

^Those would fit with 275's all around. If you are on the stock suspension.

 

I'm on stock suspension atm. i plan to lower it when i can afford some variant 3's however. how aggressive can you go with 19x9.5s without rubbing?

i'm not trying to go crazy, i just want it nice and flush to the fenders, and a little lip on it, other than that i'm not to worried.

this for example, is just about perfect, but i dunno whos car that is lol

 

^Well I have 18X9.5 +45 on my car with some 275's all around and it's pretty flush for me. Any more of an aggressive offset and it would stick out a little too much. +42 in the front should be fine though. But since they are 19's you might run on the fender liner when your turn your wheels all the way to one side.

 

+45 won't be flush

 

For a more aggressive look (not so much performance wise) i say 19x9 with +35 offset and 19x9.5 +42 - you may need a roll but that's depending on tires

 

Your "performance" won't be affected by the offset one bit.

 

Well I want to have all 4 rims be the same size, 19x9.5, seeing as i know staggered can effect understeer/oversteer slightly.

I'm just not sure on where to go for the offsets. a few places have their's at 19x9.5 +48 for the 9.5" rim.
but from what i've seen, thats going to sit in a little, if the +45 offsets arnt even flush.

what about 19x9.5 +42 on all 4 corners? would that be too much


edit: this is with 19x9.5 +36 in the rear....??

No, you'll be fine. You can run 275 on all corners and shouldn't even need a roll, but again don't expect to be flush.

 

i was referring the the staggered setup - sorry for the confusion

 

yeah, so if i use the offsets in the link i posted 19x9.5 +36 will they be close to flush? they look pretty close in the picture.

but would i have issues up front with that size and offset?

( im on stock suspension still yet aswell, but plan to pick up some variant 3's when i can afford them )

 

Yeah, they'll be close. You shouldn't have a problem in the front, you'll rub in the rear with a wider tire.

 

Well since 275's seem to be the sweetspot for 9.5" that's prob what i'll go with, will that rub?

if so i'm assuming i'll need to roll the fenders?

edit, TYVM btw, i appreciate the help

 

Yes, you'll rub. A roll + neg camber, you'll clear fine.

 

I'll get some pics of my wheels up today. They may not be perfectly flush, but there definitally flush enough for me. If they stuck out anymore and I slammed the car, My fender would be sitting on the tire.

 

Rota Slipstream:
16 x 7, 45mm offset
Stock suspension 05 rx8

 

^dude, get aim for wider

you can fit 19x10's if you wanted to...

however, to answer your question - yes, they will fit with lots of wheel space...

 

Actually, I don't think 16s will clear the front brakes unless you have an auto w/o sport suspension aka your car came with 16s.

 

Flush is even with the outer lip of the fender not the inner, right? How would having 19s matter as long as the outer diameter of the tire is the same? It's not like the tire actually grows when you run 19s. The way I see it, a 9.5 +45 is the same for 18s and 19s. The tire size can be a deciding factor when you are getting more aggressive offsets. Do I just not understand something? I'm trying to understand this stuff better myself.

 

yeah, he has an A/T

 

Why?

 

If your car is flush, you won't be able to tuck wheel or won't be able to tuck max tire.

 

For the people that are getting confused, this is flush.

 

on the porche = yes!

I'm honestly not a fan of stretched tires

 

I rub on the front liners running 19's with a tire size that is the closest you can get to OE spec. So why do I rub? Because each brand has their own way of doing things and a measurement to one manufacture means nothing to another.
