My honest opinion. Buy something nicer than varrs, vossen, stance etc. There's a lot of option out there and you don't need to go the cookie cutter route...

That's the lowest offsets for these wheels.

I am planing to get some bc coilovers, complete camber kit, fender rolling and tire stretch. Don't want to be too gressive since my car is a new your car and the roads are bad out here, so a semi look would work?

Based on what I will get what should I do to make it work? I really need your expertise on this bro!

I really hope to hear from you!
Thanks....
You do not need any stretch for this set up as the specs are not aggressive.

If you were to add 25mm spacers front and rear then you may require some stretch...

However, without spacers I'd run 245/35 and 275/35.

Let me know if you want info on spacers and stretch.

Run 25mm spacers.

225/35 up front and 255/35 in the rear.

Adjust camber in the rear accordingly, positive for more flushness negative for more tuck. The front will be fine as is.

Has any body ran a 19x8.5 19x10.5 staggered on awd??

I'm thinking about trading for te37s... Please help.

Would the tire sizes/stretch look funny for the same rolling diameter?

Will be going on a cruise and boarding soon so I will not be able to check after Sat afternoon.

Thanks in Advanced...

There is nothing to stretch on an 8.5" wheel. So you're not going to match the stretch what so ever.

I'd hold out for some 9.5/10.5 TEs. Running an 2" stagger is not a good idea on AWD because it makes tire sizes even more limited than you were before.

anyone know if 18x10.5 +23 up front will hit any part of the suspension on the inside of a G coupe?

or would i need to put a small spacer to clear?

Nope you should be good, Christian (Tian) ran 10.5 +25 with negative 2 degrees and was all good!

Did not see on search, but I want to confirm that the Coupe 18" 7-spokes are identical all around in terms of weight/fitment. May be able to buy a rear to replace a front (my front wheel tabs are broken off already) Thanks
