19 staggered fitment

looking at buying a set of 19x8.5 and 19x10 staggered wheels with a 35mm offset, i dont think im going to run into rubbing but if anyone is runnning this size or close (i know most run a 9.5 in the rear) please let me know of any issues. Im only dropped on H-TECH's so im not slammed.
Thanks for any feedback.

you should run about mid to high 40s in the back if you're going to run 10s.

that setup would work well....although the tires seem kind of skinny....try 245/35/19 in the front and 255 or 265/35/19 in the rear

if you opted for 245/35/19 in the front....you MIGHT rub since the offset is kind of on the high side...depends on how low you are too...

I would run 235/35-19 on the 8.5" rim and 265/30-19 on the 10" rim. A lot of people don't consider how the rim width affects the sidewall. Wider rims tend to stretch the tire out and lower the sidewall. Since I like the f/r to appear even I chose 235/35-19 and 245/35-19 for my staggered setup. Some people like the tire to look beefier on the rear. I think if you have the right wheel the beefier tire isn't necessary.



Use this site: http://gs.tolan-hoechst.com/tirecalc.htm

The main things I would look at are:

Tire height
Wheel/tire aspect ratio
wheel rpms

Try to keep them as close as possible. Punch in some numbers from other people and see how far there set up is off.

You'll probably need to roll your fenders with 19x10's in the rear.

However, you could just try grinding off the little tab the sticks out about 0.25-0.5 inch into the wheel well (this is the part that usually rubs first). If you look into the rear wheel well where the bumper attaches to the main chassis, its two flanges connected together into a "tab" held together in place with a little 10mm bolt.

I dont know if that setup would work. I am running 18x10's in the back w/ a 43mm offsett and a 35/275 tire and it just barely clears.

Your 35mm offset is going to stick out 10mm more than his 45mm offsets

Like I said already, your going to have to AT LEAST roll your fenders

Its not the diameter of the wheel that matters, its the size and offset

You'll still rub going to 18x9.5 if you choose a 35mm offset

lol, i dont like you, your a bearer of bad news.

and i kinda assumed it did matter a bit with diameter of wheels, guess i was wrong, cause i had 19 x 8.5 wheels with i believe 40 offset, and they didnt rub, but my 20 x 8.5 +35 offsets do.
