Still don't get it?? Help

I'm looking at a setup of 19x9.75 +15 all around.

I know it's going to be close but will the fronts stick out?

Also, any idea tire size to run? I'm trying to fill about 1/4" gap with the wheels so I'm thinking maybe a 255 or 275/40 all around?

Any help please!

Here is a pic of the current stance

The way I see it is like this.


-I currently have stock rays in the front which are 19X8 +30.


-I have a 30mm spacer on it which makes it 19X8 +0


-The rims I want to get are 19X9.75 +15 which are 1.75" wider or -44mm compared to stockers


-BUT they are +15 so I figure you add it to the -44mm comparison (between stocks and these)and you end up with the equivalent of a +29 compared to the stock rims.


-Which is the equivalent of what I have right now with a +30 spacer???????


Am I right? My whole goal is to not run spacers

Orrrrr.





To get millimeters for my stockers.


1. Take 8” wheel divideby 2 = 4”


2. 4” to mm = 101.6mm


3. +30 mm offset(which actually subtracts) and add -30 mm offset for spacers


4. Left with 101.6mm from hub to rim at currentstance.



Get mm for the new wheels


1. Take 9.75” divide by 2 = 4.875”


2. Take 4.875 andconvert to mm = 123.825mm


3. Subtract +15offset = 108.825mm


4. New wheels will beabout 7 mm wider then the current setup.





…..So they will almost be perfectly flush according to my terriblecalculations.

Or can you use this website so you don't give yourself an aneurysm. A 9.75" wheel with a +15 offset will poke just a tad in the front and need a spacer in the rear. The fitment of the stock rays on your car is nice so not sure why you're changing it up? Anywho, I only know of 1 company that offers random sizes like that, and I would suggest you to seek another brand than XXR (if I'm guessing correctly). Go with some used wheels that you know will fit well and save yourself some money. A 9.5 +15ish in front and an 11 +15ish in the rear will be perfect. You're in New Mexico, so you should easily be able to find some local steals on wheels. If nothing is on craigslist or forums, check the local facebook pages.

PS. A 275/40 will be a stupid tall sidewall.

EDIT: Pictures below are of Varrstoen ES6 with 19x9.5 +12 front and 19x11 + 15 rear running a 245/35 and 275/35. With a pretty aggressive drop the fitment is still spot on, tucks tire all around.

Wow that is a nice setup. How stretched were the 245/35 on those fronts? Hard to tell in the pics. Have any better ones?

I'm trying to close the fender gap with 40 sidewall. You are lower than I am for sure.

Maybe a 245/40 will do the trick.

A 245 on a 9.5 is a baby stretch. To tuck my new wheels under stock body I ran a 235/40 on an 11. But here is the front.

Perfect. Thanks a ton for the advice and I don't think I have seen so many different setups on one car....ever.

And they all kill it. GJ
