Thank you All

Might need spacers to push that +32 out.

I would like to run a near to flush set up and im leaning towards getting the 19x8.5 for front and 19x10.5 for rear. The 19x8.5 are offered with both 18mm and 38mm offsets and the 19x10.5 are offered with 25mm and 45mm offsets. Any advice on which ones would give me a near to flush setup as well as tire sizes that will not give me the look that my rim is popping out of my tire or that stretched look?

Thank you all in advance for any help and information.
I'd go with 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. Go with the lower offsets. The lower the offset the further pushed out the wheels is. 18mm and 25 are ideal. 38 and 45 are too high.

Guys, I'm picking up a set of varrstoen es1's in 20x9 and 20x10 in a week or so. I'm debating what size tires to throw on them. Right now I have 20x9 and 20x10 axis wheels +25 I believe wrapped in 245/35 and 275/30. I'm lowered a little over an inch and rub once in a while. I'm not running camber right now and plan on rolling my fenders once I make the switch. Would it make sense to run with 235/35 and 255/35 on the new setup? They're +15 so will be pushed out a little more then where I'm at now. Thanks for any help.

Got damn it's getting crazy in here!!

Plenum coupe I think I answered ur question b4. I has s techs and only a rear camber kit. At 7k miles I don't see any bad tire wear from the front in comparison to the rear. Sometime today I will measure tread depth for you. (And for myself)

Are you on coils? Springs? Are you planning on lowering it more? I would go with 225/35, 245/35 with ur setup

Rears: 3.5mm -1.4
Front 4.5mm -1.5, -2.0

I don't do donuts.

Hi all. I'm looking at having some OEM Rays 19s widened for the rear of my 05 G coupe. I'd like to keep the stock, stealth look but need more rubber now that I've got 460hp at the wheels.

I don't want to get too flush, so I'm wondering how wide to go and what spacers I'd need, since they can only widen the back side of the wheels.

I'm assuming I'll get the front 19x8s widened, since they are +30 compared to the rear 19x8.5's +33. If I get them widened to 10", how many mm of spacers will I need so that the inside doesn't rub? What about if I go 10.5 or even 11? I'll be wrapping them in 295 or 305 /30 tires.

Car is stock height.

Anyone know the math on this? I need to make sure I get this right BEFORE they start cutting and welding the wheels...

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!!

I'm on springs and don't have any plans on going an lower. I won't be tucking but as of now, on 245/35 in front, there is no gap and I do rub on occasion. The rear i do have a slight gap with 275/30 but think if I go with a 35 in the rear as well as the front, it will eliminate that. Only thing that worries me with a 225/35 and 245/35 is the roads in MI with that much stretch. I guess it would make sense if I was on coils and slammed?

Now my coupe is an 03 and has oem suspension, can i put 38mm spacers in rear and 30mm spacers in front with no issues. Do i just purchase them put em on torque them to 80ftlb each then the wheel back on? is it this simple or is this way more complicated then i think.

If you get the spacers with the built-in studs then yes it is that simple. I've always torqued mine down to around 90lbs. After you first install spacers, remove the wheels after a few days and recheck the torque.

Any advice from people who researched the whole spacer area on what size looks best for the size rims im running? im thinking about going to 225 40 19 in front and 265 40 19 in rear right now im running 235 35 and 285 35 but i want a slight stretched look and to fill the gap some more. Anyway like i said im thinking 38mm rear and 30mm in front?

Oh ic, a 225 on a 9" is not dat much of a stretch compared to 9.5 which alot of guys run. As for you suspension setup, with 275/30 in the rear for sure there would be a bigger gap compared with ur 245/35 front because your rear wheel's overall diameter is smaller than the front, hence the bigger gap.

If you arent gona lower it more and it rubs you could go with 235/35, 265/35
