Hey guys, I've google the crap outta this, but I think hearing it from fellow Maxiam guys will make me feel better.

I've got a set of 245/35/19 tires that I plan to mount onto 19x8.5 wheels. Thing is the wheels have a 43mm offset. Will that rub???

I'm running 245/35/19's on a 19x8, 35mm offset setup, and I've had no issues at all.

If I'm using the offset calculator right, a 43mm wheel will push the outer edge of the wheel OUT 2mm??? and the inside edge of the wheel IN 12mm???

Thanks!

 

You should be fine. You probably have at least an inch plus clearance inside and 1/2" outside. I run 245/35-19 on 19 x 9.5's 45mm offset in the rear and 235/35-19 on 8.5" rim 44mm offset on the front w/ my 4th gen. The 5th gen has much more clearance.

 

Yeah, I did some measuring yesterday...I think I've got "some" room!

We'll see...I'd hate to drop the $$$ and then have my wheels not fit or rub to all *&^%

 

BUMP...

Anybody else running these #'s with their 19's on a 5.5 gen?

 

its too high of an offset imo

itll look sunken in n itll prolly look horrible without spacers

u should be worried about its stance b4 its rubbage

 

I would use 5mm spacers

 

Yeah, I've thought about using spacers.

Man, I sure wish someone had pictures of this set up!!!

 

what are you doing with your other set of tires? i have a set of 19x8.5's. im looking for tires. i was thinking about running a 235/35 or a 245/35 on a 35 mm offset. i dont think ill have any issues. i am still looking for tires tho...

 

I'm hoping to sell my current wheels then purchase new ones with the $$$.

 

a little off ur guys topic, but i'm about to buy som volk's, ev3's 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the back and was curious as to what tire size i should get and if it would be a good fit on a 97.


plan to get the tein s tech's soon as well (-2.2) front,(-1.7) rear would this make any problems for me

 

if u want to sell you tires seperately and they are in good shape hit me up!!!!!!

 

you need to know the offset

 

PM sent man!

 

How much clearance do you have in the back and the front when the wheels are fully turned? I am looking at a set that has a 45 offset. Thanks.

 

Let the old thread die!

 

Just buy my wheels! They're 35mm offset...
