rays 19" question

i just bought a set of the rays coupe 19" wheels. i have z springs all around for a slight drop. will i need to use spacers to bring the wheels to the fender. i will probably run 225/40 all around. or maybe 235s.

245/40 all around will work fine. most likely you wont need a rear spacer. the rear wheel sits pretty close as is.

No they are going to be close as-is.

If your rears are not rolled you might need to.

Here are my spares without spacers but my brakes push them out ~3mm.

No rubbing in the rear or front with 245/40/19's. I have only had these on a couple times because they are the spares but no issues.

nice, all i needed to hear. my plans are to run 4 rears all the way around. i figured the track wheels don't rub, these shouldn't. better safe than sorry.

The rears are flush with rear quarter.

Those look great. What size tire?

I got an amazing deal on my 245/40's but the sidewall is too big for my taste.

The fronts are 235/35. The rears are 245/35. When it's time for new tires, I think I'm going to go 245 all around.

It's amazing how much difference going from 40 to 35 makes.

Those look great!

And with that tire size there is no rubbing ever. No fender-rolling required.
