rear fitment concern..

hey guys im new to this forum..

My wife and I have an 05 sedan and we are looking to drop her conservatively(an inch or so)

my concern is the rear set up, im worried its going to rub and i was hoping i could get some input...?

the set up in the rear is 19x9.5 on a 275/30r19, fronts are 19x8.5 on a 245/35r19..

any input will be greatly appreciated.

275/30 actually seems a bit shorter than normal so you should be fine dropping. I know others with a 275/35-19 dropped not having issues. Others who did could help correct the issue with a camber change.

Doesn't look like it will rub to me. What are the offsets of the rear wheels?

Offset looks like a 40 or so.

You will not be rubbing.

The original owner told me they were 35 or 40 offset.

On the safe side, always roll your fenders if you can, but you won't NEED to.

Way too much wheel gap to have rubbing issues unless your suspension is blown. But I wouldn't worry, you could always get your fenders rolled and/or dial in some camber, you have plenty of working room.

Did you try to make two accounts?

What's up with the ban account?

Always roll if you use the words "I'll be going lower"
