What size would you recommend? 265's?

 

255/35 or 265 would be ok but a 245/40 would be alright too and are much easier to find.

 

I have an 04 coupe 18" stock and wondering if these wheels will do okay on my car

The wheels im trying to get are also 18"
Staggered
18x8.5 Front
18x9.5 Rear
+35 Offset

and Im going to try and run 225/45 front and 245/45 in rear, or should I do 245/40 in the rear?

 

how about 20"x10" + 45 with 275-30? getting close to rubbing i'm sure. I'm at work so I'll measure a bit when I get home.

 

On the rear you will be fine at stock height, but depending on how low you go you might need a spacer for inner wheel clearance. I had 19x10 +42's with a 1" drop my wheels would rub on my shock collar when pulling into my driveway at an angle. I added a 3mm spacer and it took care of most of the rubbing, but I quickly sold them because I didnt want to deal with it.
Are you wanting to do a 10" up front too?

 

I would either find different wheels or see if they have a better (lower) offset. Those wheels will be tucked in and not look right.

225/45 and 255/40

4DGS, I have a question for you or for any of you fitment gurus.

I just got my bc coils installed today, I'm already want to go lower but heres my problem i think. I provide a pic so you can get a good idea of my set up.

In the rear I have a 19x10.5 +24 (add a 15mm spacer) so effective offset is +9. With a 275/35 tire. Also, my rear camber specs are -2.7 When I look at, if the car goes any lower I'm sure I would start rubbing pretty bad. My tires are fairly new so I don't really want to buy smaller width tires until my current set starts wearing out.

My front specs are 19x9.5 +17 and -2.1 camber, with 245/35. Im pretty sure I have room to go lower so that shouldn't be a problem. But, my question is do you think i can lower the front and rear just another turn until I stretch tire? Or do you think I can maybe do a slight pull so I wont have to run stretched tires?


Heres a couple photos. . .

 

They will work but as the other 4D said, you're going to want probably a 15 or 20mm spacer. (25 up front)

I would definitely recommend the 245/40 rear. or go 245/40 front and 265/35 rear.

 

Deemo, I responded to your PM.

 

Not necessarily. But it looks like I found a set of 4 10" wheels I like for cheap and Right now, for me, cheap is good. Tires I was thinking 275/30 would work well.

I'd prefer 19x9.5's but if the price is right....

 

I know 10's can fit up front, but I think that you will need a lower offset (for inner clearance) and a narrower tire. Probably somewhere in the neighborbood of a 25mm spacer to make it a 19x10 +25 and run a 245/35/19 and a decent drop.

Now I have never ran that set-up so I cant say how accurate that info it. I was just comparing my old set-up (19x9 +35) to your proposed 19x10 +40 set-up.
I had no clearance issues with my front wheels at all. So comparing the numbers it comes out like this.
My wheels were 9" wide and I had a 245/35/19 tire.I had almost a finger gap between my wheel and the suspension.
If you ran the 19x10 + 40mm you would 18mm less clearance on the inside and extend outward 8mm. I dont think that will fit due to the inner clearance.
Now if you added a 15mm that would give you 15 more mm of inner clearance which should then clear fine. You would have to run the same size tire 245/35 to clear the fender.
My current wheels are 20x9 +10 and they are almost/pretty much flush with no rubbing.
Comparing my high offset 19's and my low offset 20's this is what I came up with.
Based upon my calculations if you ran the 19x10 +25 (with the spacer) you would have 3mm less clearance between the wheel and suspension (which is fine) and the wheel would retract 2mm (less flush) than my wheels. In theory that should work.

I hope that makes sense.

 

Here are the wheels on my car. The black ones are the old 19" set-up.

I thought I had a pic with the spacer installed, ill have to take one. The second pic is the 20x10 +25 offset so it's tucked in 15mm more in the pic that it is currently. So the calculations I did in the last reply would put your 10's 13mm more flush than this pic.

I know both are horrible pics.

 

Would you trade your 19" Forged Rays for some 20" Concept one Raven?

 

4D05G35, Thanks a ton! Right now I'm choosing between:
19x9.5 +40
OR
20x10 +45

From what you are saying I can make either work with:
19x9.5 +40: small spacer in the front (~5mm)
20x10 +45: Bigger (~15mm) spacer in the front and some narrower tires (245).

The 20x10's might hang out of the fender a little in the front?
And both rears will fit.

 

Have a question, just bought some to oem 19 rays to replace stock 17's, would i need an alignment or anything, or could i just pop them in and call it a day? thanks!
