Looking to buy a set of 19s and I have the following options:

19x8.5 +38

Or

19x8.5 +32 F 19x9.5 +35 R

All with 245/35/19 on my 5th gen I35 dropped on Eibachs. Thanks!

The 9.5"s might rub, but all the others are fine, IMO.

So better off running 8.5 +38 all around and 5mm spacer front, and 15 back?

OR do 8.5 all around but 32mm for all 4?

You will rub with the spacer and that offset in the rear.

Which one? the 38 or 32? Thought you were 18x8.5 +33 with 15mm in the back? 245 tires too right?

Ya, and I rub on 1 side. 9.5" + 35mm + 15mm spacer, IMO, would/will rub.

You know if 8.5 +32 can be run on the front? Or too low offset? Thanks for the help!

9.5 +35 with no spacer and rolled fenders should not rub...

8.5 +32 should be fine up front...

8.5 +32 will be fine. no problem. in the rears with a 15mm spacer you WILL rub. roll your fenders and see where you're at.

I know that 5th gens need a low 20 offset with 8 or 8.5 wide wheel to be flush. So now that +32 is known to clear the front, I'll prob only do a 10mm spacer in the rear.

yeah just roll the rear fenders... but it all depends on the drop... I had 265 35 18 and 18x9.5 38 offset and only rubbed over big dips... now i have some higher pro tires on there as i swapped rims and 18x8 245 45 18 rubs so im getting some 225 45 18s to match the front tires

How much you will rub depends on how low you are. But you WILL rub in the rear with 275s, even with rolled fenders. Offset is too low for the size tire you want to run.

Run 255s and roll your fenders and you'll probably be fine with just a 1.5 inch drop.

So I stumbled upon these wheels/tires FS earlier.....



Fronts are 17x8+35 225/45/17
Rears are 17x9+45 255/40/17

I already have my rear fenders rolled, so is there any chance I can run that offset in the rear? I know I should know this, but I don't....I'm assuming no....
