I'm looking at getting some 19" SF Winnings for an '05 Coupe w/the sport package... I'm not sure exactly how the car will look at stock ride height (if anybody has pics of an '05 sport package w/aftermarket 19's please post them!), but if there's a big gap i'll want to lower it... considering that, and the fact that i don't want to have to do any fender mods, it seems like 9.5 in the rear is the only practical choice (correct me if i'm wrong please!)... so far, i see people either running 8.5/9.5 front/rear or 9.5/10.5 front/rear...

but my question is, why automatically go to 8.5 in the front? why not do 9.5 front AND rear and get a nice lip on both? the 10.5 looks better than the 9.5, but the 9.5 still has a nice lip... the 8.5 however, is a very small lip and almost starts looking like a different wheel compared to the wider ones...

could i do a 9.5" with a 245 or 255 up front and not have any rubbing and no fender mods?

thanks,
Jeff

 

19x9.5 and 19x10.5 would be best...especially since you are getting Volks...the offsets are custom so that will help when you go to drop. We've done 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 at our shop, with no problems. Key is having the correct offset.

We kept the front at 245/35/19's

Check your PM

 

I checked PM's but there's nothing there, i must read faster than you type!

i'm all ears when it comes to advice on the proper offset... sounds like +29 on the 10.5" in the rear can work with a 1 - 1.5 drop and no fender mods (275 tire)??
