I just picked up a set of Axis 19x9 and 19x9.5's for my 04 sedan with sedan offsets (30-38mm, don't have the exact numbers here at work). From my many searches, it sounds like a 245/40, 275/35 combo may be best as far as maintaining stock wheel/tire heights.

Do any of you guys wish you went with another tire combo? I'm seeing some of you had to roll your fenders with a drop and some saying no fender mod was needed with the same wheel/tire combo. I'll probably lower with coupe springs later, provided I don't have to roll the fenders.

Should I stick with my original thinking on tires?

Thanks guys.

 

30-38 is a very wide range...you have to tell us the specifics...but i'll bet that you will rub front and rear when you lower.
even if you don't lower, your 9" front with a 30 offset, you will rub when you turn....

 

We were just playing this game with a dropped 7-series, and some wide, deep dish 22s...

 

7 series with dub 2s will need rubber band 25 series tires...lol, it is a b1tch to mount the tires on the wheels too...lol

 

Don't forget the dropped and wide tires part... yes, it's on 25 series, and yes, it does rub. But that will be fixed soon...

 

^^lol..definitely it needs a drop on 22s...a few years ago, did a customer's 7 series without a drop and the gap was just horrendous to look at...post some pics when youre done with it!

 

technically by lowering you should be increasing negative camber, so the wheel to fender gap will increase slightly at the top

laces out!

 

That's what I was thinking.

Anyway, here are the offsets. (F)8.5 +35 (R)9.5 +40

 

^^the front you will not rub at all with those offsets and width, the rear, you will need a minor fender roll if lowering

 

i think you'll be fine without a roll. people told me i would need to roll with 10.5" +17 offset on my coupe and it hasn't rub once in 10,000 miles they been on

 

NOT TRUE,
I'm running the same brand wheels 9.5 +40 rears, no roll, dropped 1 inch with room to spare.
