Will these fit on a sedan?? Help please

Will these fit on a sedan dropped with the Eiback pro kit, which is about a 1.5 inch drop.

19/8.5 FRONT 19/9.5 REAR (+45 off sets)


BTW, Search function does not work at this time which is why I ask.
Thanks guys

Yes, they will work fine. The guys over at www.revhighonline.com actually sell 8.5 up front, and 10 in the back, and it works fine with a lowered G!!

The rear is fine, but the front will be tucked in a bit. You may want to consider 5mm spacers for the front to make the offset +40.

We have two high profile members here with sedan's and 9.5" wide rims with 42mm offsets that had rubbing problems with 275's. To have to pick a certain tire because it has curved shoulders or to run excessive negitive camber is a absurd way go. On 9.5" width's, if you have any plan's on running 275 sized tires, go with at least a 45mm offset. Unless you have already found a reliable shop to roll your rear fender lips in advance.

I agree.

In the picture below, note the clearance with a 18x8 wheel with 45mm offset and a 245/45-18 tire. Increaseing the wheel width to 8.5" would decrease the clearance from the tire/wheel to the suspension upright by a 1/4"

I have 8.5 +42 on the front & its right at the limit.
Only 2 -3 mm clearance; any more def requires spacers.

I'm looking at getting some 8 or 8.5" width rims and tires (255/265 max)...

So what offset is recommened for this size rim? These would be either 17" or 18" rims - for track use. 2005 sedan.
