OEM 19's Come in please
I was just at my local dealership and he said he was unsure if the 19in coupe wheels would fit on my 06 sedan. He said they have a different offset. I know there are plenty of guys in here that have them, do they rub? How big of a tire can you run in the back? What tires do you have? Post some pics!!!

Coupe and Sedans feature different offsets. This is TRUE. But the Coupe 19s do fit on the sedan. If you use stock or a very mild drop, they won't rub the rears. IF you go lower than 1" then you need to roll the fenders or use a tad thinner tire. Rolling is much cheaper. And you will come across people that lower the car down quite a bit and let the huge camber fix the rubbing (ie.. top of tire angled in) but that's the wrong way (and expensive way in the long run, RE050s are expensive!) around the problem.

As Jeff92se said...if lowered they will rub in back w/ the stock 245/40/19 tires...supposedly you could go smaller and avoid the rubbing. I'm on Coupe springs in the rear and when I had them on, they rubbed under medium cornering.
I think they looked great though..really aggressive + you can't beat Rays quality.

Lowered on Eibach Pro kits.... rears were rubbing during some dips even without any passengers or cargo in the trunk, so I had to trim the lip of the rear fenders

All our G35s are silver...but you're right...your cars are all silver too. Our two cars (G35 + Touraeg) are silver as well...next car has got to be another color.

If you dont lower it at all, will it rub?
Rocket do you have the revised Z springs? |
I have the unrevised Z springs and shocks on the front (too rough IMO)...the back is a Coupe spring so that its slightly higher. Regardless if you run Z or Coupe in the back...it will rub with the stock tire.
I don't know if it will rub when you are at a stock height in the rear - my assumption is yes...but since the gap is a lot higher, and you probably rarely use the full suspension travel, you probably won't ever notice it. |

those 19's make a difference from the stock 18's. too bad i cant find a clean set of 19's
|
mine were on ebay for the last 10 days and sold for 1400+shipping :D where were u? theyre always popping up in the classifieds....
|
I found some local, but dont know if I want to role the fenders. Should I do it guys, is anyone not happy?

I ran the Coupe spring rear on the 245/40 tire and it rubbed.
I really don't think you can get away without it rubbing unless you drop the rear width to 225 (245/40 rubs). The width is what is causing the rubbing. Dropping the height to 35 (245/35) may help some, but I think you'll still get rubbing as it will always be 245mm wide. BTW, even those that aren't lowered get rubbing, so I don't think the negative camber helps enough. |
