Will this Wheel/Tire Combo Fit on a Sedan?
I searched but didn't get a clear answer so I'll be a little repetitive and hope the wheel experts will help me out...
I'm looking at a set of rims with the following measurements and tires:
8.5 in the front, 9.5 in the back with +38 offset in both Front and Rear.
245 35 19 in the front and 275 30 19 in the back.
Also, after the rear tires are gone would I be able to put 245/35/19 back on the rear? I realize that I might lose some handling, but the financial savings of being able to rotate tires, not to mention a cheaper tire outweigh the benefits of a staggered setup for me.
My car is stock ride height and I don't want to roll my fenders and of course don't want any issues, including VDC and the like.
HELP! =)

They'll fit, but you cant rotate the wheels and tires, you'd have to dismount the tires and remount them to rotate. The +38 is gonna stick out in the rear on stock height unless you dial in some negative camber.

Thanks for the quick responses guys...
Any idea if a 245/35 or 40 will fit on the rear, being that it's a 9.5" wide rim?
So if I don't roll my fenders and I'm stock height with 275 in the rear, aside from the tire sticking out a little bit (basically being slightly too wide for the fender) what other potential problems might I have? My thinking is that I'll hurry and run through the rear tires and then replace it with the same size tire as the fronts so I can rotate the tires.
Thanks again!
BTW, GdupSedan, if your rims were 19" I would be all over them. 18" wheels look too small for our "big" cars IMO.

You won't be able to rotate if you get the 9.5's for the rear unless you want to take the tires off each time. You can do the same thing by just getting a staggered size and having them moved side to side.
