depends on what you offsets are

 

You will need to roll your fenders in the rear or you will rub. Are you sure your tires aren't 245/40? If they are 45s you might need to flatten your fenders as well, those are some tall tires.

 

yea they are deff. bridgestone turanza 245/45/19,how do i figure out my offset?i have another set of tires,245/35/19 but i hit so many potholes it kept bending my wheel with those tires so i got bigger ones,the 245/35 i just need one tire and i cuold put those back on,id rather not because the ride is so nice with the 45s,but if i have too,i dont have a choice yanno

thanks tom

 

Im on the same springs..245/35 tire and no rub without rolling fenders

 

Yes 245/35 should be fine. 245/45 is a tall tire witch is not so good for lowered cars.

 

i went from 245/35 to 245/40 all around and I rub in the front right during a hard turn every now and again. I'm am on 350Z H-techs which lower about 1.5-2" all around.

 

the springs will be here tommorrow,i ordered a roller also,i think if i roll the front i should be okay,i dont want to run anything smaller then a 45 tall tire,i crack rims too much in my town,its horrible,ive been through like 3 different sets.i got the best ride with the 45.ill post pics and tel everyone how it comes out,thanks guy i appreciate it.

 

That will determin if you will rub or not.


245/45/19. dang. Thats over an inch larger than stock. If you need some sidewall I would recomend that you go with 18's instead of 19's.

The offset is often on the back side of the wheel, if not you can measure the distance from the center of the wheel (inner lip and outer lip) to the mounting surface of the wheel to get the offset.
