I am really concerned about the rears.

Specs:

Fronts: 19x9.5 +12 offset, 19x245x35 tires

Rears: 19x10.5 +12 offset 19x275x30 tires

Dropped ~1" all around on tein s-tech springs
Stock fenders
Stock camber

Let me know what you guys think,

Thanks
You will need completely rolled rear fenders to fit these. You shouldn't need anything more than that.

It's not the tires, it's the wheels.

Just roll the fenders, you're in the bay, there's gotta be someone that knows what's up. Would you like me to find someone for you?

I was trying to avoid rolling fenders but we will see. Thanks for the help though I appreciate it. I am having them installed tomorrow. Worst case scenario I have to roll.

Yeah or your going to destroy the outer sidewall of the tires...I had the EXACT same setup as you back in the day and didn't have my fenders rolled either when I first put em on and it was horrible driving until I could get my fenders rolled finally

I'm planning to run 11 widths all around with rears at 0 offset. Front has +15 offset. Tire sizes are 245/255.
My question is.. would a 11 front with +15 match the aggressiveness of the rear? Or would it look better to add a small slip on spacer? Thanks buds

I was gonna say 10

The coupes have pretty evenly spaced fenders and you're running more camber out back than in the front so maybe not. I'd throw em on and see how they sit before deciding what spacer to run.

Hi guys,

I recently purchased a 2003 sport sedan and have been lurking on this forum ever since. I am a really big car noob and I am trying to figure out what size rims will fit on my car. I have used the search button but there is honestly too much to read. I found a pair of rims that I think will work based on the FAQ section but i thought i would ask anyways.

Sizes:
Front: 19x8.5 +35
Rear: 19x9.5 +40

The rims are the miro 111
I do not plan on dropping my car and I don't want to roll my fenders

Any feedback is greatly appreciated

Those will fit, but I will suggest a fender roll. You NEED it but you'll be cutting it close IMO.

Not sure if you wanted a tire recommendation on those but 235/40 and 265/35 would be my choice. (a 245/40 would also work)

Would i have to roll all 4 or just the rears?
I like the staggered look but if I can just go 19x8.5 +35 all around then im sure that would look ok.

Thanks for the quick response and help, im clueless with all these measurements hahaha

Just the rears will need a roll.

You could do 8.5 all around but I'd recommend the 8.5/9.5 stagger. Your call though.
