I need a little help here.

I have been mulling over the idea of getting spacers on my current setup. Though I have always had a thing against using spacers, they just don't offer my wheel in a more aggressive offset. And I absolutely love these wheels.

Let's say I get 10mm spacers for the front and rears on my current setup: 19x9.5 +17 & 19x10.5 +18 on 245/35 front tires and 275/35 rear tires. I don't plan on running any less than 245f/275r tires and want to keep the negative camber at 2.5 or [preferably] less. (I might even run 255/285 in the future).

Will I have rubbing issues, whether it be daily driving or hard driving, with those specs [offsets, camber, tires]? The only reason I have doubt is because people running aggressive offsets usually have more stretch and more negative camber.

My rear fenders are rolled. My rear coilovers are maxed out (both rings are still on the rear spring assembly...but I don't plan on going lower).

Thank you!

You might want to send a PM namrock's way. I know he rocks Volk GT-S like you and runs spacers. I don't, however, know what the offset of his wheels are.

He is ridiculously dumped, though.

 

debating on doing the same exact thing with my GTS and those wheel sizes. buttt.. def not as low as you.

with my height being so high/wheel gap i dont want to look like a 4x4. 350z H-Techs....

 

maybe triple8sol can chime in. i asked him a very similar question regarding 10mm spacers all around with GTS.

 

One of the locals has this same setup(10mm spacers on GTS) with 275/35/19 falken 452 and I did the fender rolling for him. It requires a tight roll at the top and you have to extend the roll all the way down the QP quite a bit, and possibly trim some of the rear bumper. I initially didn't roll it down far enough and he rubbed on both the QP and his rear bumper. I fixed the fender roll so that he wouldn't rub anymore and told him to get his bumper trimmed up a bit for clearance. Not sure what his camber settings were.

BTW, GT-S's absolutely are offered in better offsets, no one orders them though because they don't bother to look at the spec sheet. You can order 19x9.5+4 A-disk front with a 107mm lip and 19x10.5+8 B-disk with a 125mm lip. Much better fitment than the standard +17/+18 setup and larger front lips too!

 

Thanks Hai.

I do recall seeing the GTS offered in more aggressive offsets, but paid very little attention to it since I bought my wheels used and don't plan on getting them replaced anytime soon. I wonder why those offsets aren't a little more common on the G; I can't think of one person who is running anything more aggressive than the 17/18 offsets on the 9.5/10.5 rims [before spacers]. Any clue as to whether the 9.5 +4 A disk would have any issues clearing BBK's such as the Akebono's?

Shane did roll my fenders pretty flat from top to bottom; I guess it'll just have to try out this setup and see what I have to do from there.

 

The 9.5+4 and 9.5+17 use the same A-disk, so if the +17 clears then the +4 will also. It just uses a barrel with a larger outer lip.

 

They [19x9.5 +7 with 245's, 19x10.5 +8 with 275's] ended up fitting just fine

 

you might have to run 265 in the rear.. Or more camber with 275. Check out rimtuck.com theres a few cars running +5 front and rear and they are running 255 tires on 10.5 rear.

 

You can always fit them, and then pull your fenders or just bite the bullet with more neg camber. Or just get 5mm spacers.

 

I already have them on. Read post #8

 

FYI for GT-S owners:

10mm spacers (built-in studs type) are too short for the GTS. My stock studs ended up hitting the inside of the wheel... just short a few mm.

I kept on wondering why my lugs kept on getting loose so quickly.

I guess im going to have to go with 15mm's

I really liked 10mm all around; it gave it a nice look. But it almost seemed like the fronts were a little more flush than the rears. I guess 15mm should fix that, though I will have to do a slight pull since 10mm were just at the fender (with a roll).

 

got any pics of the 10mm installed?? I have the same exact wheels but not dropped and 255/35F and 285/35R. Just wanna see how they look
