So you think the 245's will fit with this offset?
Sounds like the offset is a bit to aggressive I hope you won't have rubbing problems.

Joviator...you might want to rethink those tire widths. I have a 9 inch front and a 10.5 rear and my 245/35 fit fine on the front but if I had a choice I'm moving up to 255 when they wear out. However, on your 11 out back you will be risking your rims because they will have no protection (AT ALL). At the minimum with an 11 inch rim you need to get 285s. I have 275 on my 10.5 and they are stretched and offer little protection from curbs.

235's on a 9.5" rim?

Please post a picture when they are mounted. I bet you will have a 45 degree slope from the rim to the tire tread.

I've got 245's on a 8.5" rim and it fits perfect.

good luck!

He's going for the stretched/drift look...probably going to be slammed and tucked also.

HOLY S.HIT! I HATE YOU, LOL! VERY GOOD PURCHASE/INVESTMENT!

dayam those are my favorite heels. i wish i could afford them. you have stock Brembo's??? also, i wouldn't go with 245's in the front with that offset. plus, Toyo's are a more fatter tire.

A few things to keep in mind...you may need to roll your fenders if you go too low, secondly, you WILL need a camber kit to adjust the negative camber or else your inner tire will wear out (feather) within like 40 miles of driving with an 11 inch base!

Those wheels will never fit, that offset is way too aggressive... and those tire sizes, what idiot would put 235/35/19's on a 19x0.5?!

Good to see the pics, can't wait to see them on the car.
