I tried posting for help in the CORRECT forum a while ago, and got 0 responses in 2 threads so I am posting this here to actually get an answer.

I'm trying to figure out how this wheel will fit:

FRONT SIZE: 19x9.5"; Bolt Pattern: 5:114.3mm; offset: +30 mm;

REAR SIZE: 19X10.5"; Bolt Pattern: 5:114.3mm; offset: +28 mm;

I have a coupe with Brembos. Now I want to get the largest sidewall I can on the tires to keep those wheels protected. I have no intention of slamming it, but may want to go H-techs if I don't like the fenderwell gap after installing.

How are these tire sizes in relation to those wheels:

Front 245/35/19
Rear 275/30/19

I don't really want to get the stretched look either, so if I need to go wider then that's fine.

I really want to know if the wheels will fit good and then what tires would go best. I think those offsets should produce about a 3 and something inch lip in the back...right?

Thanks in advance for any and all help/advice!

 

To be honest with you, forget about 19" wheels. I had both 19" and 20" and not only is the ride better with my 20" wheels, but, the look is a 100x better. 19" in my opinion is way to small, especially without a drop, but nonetheless, they look to small. Go for 20" and drop the 19". You will thank me later.

 

I appreciate the advice, but most Volks or other light weight wheels that I like are not offered in 20's.

For God's sake people, please answer my question. If a wheel/tire question can't be answered in either of the correct forums or this forum I am seriously going to be PO'ed.

 

You should be fine with that setup. shouldn't rub with a drop either. I Have a similar set up with no problems

 

Volks do come in 20's just not all of them. If you want a used set of maido gr-5 in 20s i have a set

 

go with dpe I just got a full sponsor they can custom cut and they have pretty tight wheels

I went with 20's, 19's look clean but in the world of show an inch can go along way. Plus Dunlop just picked me up on a full ride we went
285/30/20 in the rear and 245/35/20 in the front on the sport maxx

I will post some picks when the rims roll in I am hoping soon, but they are being custom cut and engraved for the car I am building.

 

I'm no expert so take this for what it's worth..I have 19 x 10.5" rears with +32 offets, 275/35/19 tires on my rears (Coupe w/Brembos). My rough measurement from the top of the tire to the edge of the fender is about 3/4". So with +28 offset that would push the tire out another 4mm from how mine sits, that *should* work (again, based on my rough measure). As far as clearing your Brembos I think that's typically more of a wheel design rather than an offset issue. If you're looking to get Volks, seem like almost every Volk wheel clears Brembos; you can probably find a Coupe with Brembos on the forum with every Volk wheel to confirm...

I run 19 x 8.5's up front so I'm no help at all with your 9.5" comparison.

 

Right, I know not all of them do but the Challenges for example don't and those are what I really want.

 

ask them if they are designed to clear big brakes or not when you purchase.

 

dpe has a sick set of 5 spokes they make for a G
