The "Will it fit?" thread

[cooltoy]

You will need longer studs. Stock ones are not long enough and will leave you with not enough thread (unsafe). Putting on spacers is easy enough, changing out the bolts is somewhat harder.

I am no expert (meaning I have never done it before), but if you think you could use an extra pair of hands, I might be willing to help out.

Ok...here I go (noob time)..sorry

19x9 ET45
19x10 ET48

Current tires on all four are 215/35/19 (need to be replaced). Can you also recommend tire size. I think I would prefer a wider set. Thanks

Those will fit, but those offsets are a bit weak in the rear.

The OEM 19" are:

19x9 +47
19x10 +30

The fronts will sit in a similar fashion as stock, but the rears will be an additional 18mm sunken in then stock.

As for tires, stock sizes for 19x9 / 19x10 are 245/40/19 and 275/35/19.

[jay23]

I run 265/305 RE-11 setup on my OEM sport wheels which are not as wide as yours.

mine fit perfect and will sit fine on your wheels as well.

[jay23]

How's the performance? Is it tough with the wheel? And does that give you flush fitment? Sorry for all this questions lol

well the stock wheels aren't flush to start if that was your question. spacers fix that but I don't run them. that's on your wheels specs and setup

the tires sit very nice on the wheel. no bulge, bind, or anything wrong. looks beautiful like that's what it should have had from factory.

performance is great. the grip is tremendous and after having PSS's prior I didn't think it could get better but the RE11's are just amazing. now my PSS's were OEM 245/275 so maybe I will try them in the 265/305 setup this spring. but honestly I loved the RE11's in this sizing so much i'll buy the same again I think.

[jay23]

Your set up with re11s are 265/35 305/30 right?
so your front tires are taller than your rears? how does that look? can you show pic please? and is there any rubbing?

So i need some help. I have h&r race springs and the sport rims. Will a 275/35/19 fit on the front and a 305/30/19 fit on the rear? Im sure the 305 will not cause any issues but i question a 275 up front.

[AntiVenom]

Alright... I want to vet this setup with the gurus. I've done some reading and spent a lot of time with offset and tire calculators. Just want to make sure I am not missing anything before I pull the trigger.

My baseline in terms of looks are the sports rays w/ 15mm FR and 20mm RR spacers. In other words I want to be flush, i.e. put a straight edge on the wheel/tire and have it line right up with the fender. Seems like the 15/20mm spacer setup accomplishes just that (from photos on this forum). So that effectively gives:
FR = 19x9 +32
RR = 19x10 +10

Vossen VFS1 Wheels:
FR = 20x10 +45
RR = 20x10.5 +15 (+25 w/ a 10mm spacer in the case of the VFS1)

Using the stock 245/275 tire config, and with an effort come close to the stock wheel diameters/circumferences. Also taking in to account the fact that I prefer the tire to portrude/extend slightly beyond the wheel. I came up with the following.

Michelin Super Sport Tires:
FR = 285r30-20
RR = 305r30-20

That's spot on in the front, and adds .6" to the rear for the diameter.

As far as suspension I am ordering the KW v3 Coilovers and camber arms/links/etc this week, so I guess I can adjust the height to suit the tire/wheel combo.

My questions:
-Will it fit without rubbing, on relatively sane/stock camber settings?
-How will it handle in terms of steering weight, understeer, etc for daily/street use?
-Would this be a completely stupid setup to put on a track/autox course? I understand the concept of unsprung weight (mostly haha) and plan to use my stock wheels in a similar configuration 275/305 in the future, but the itch to hit an event might happen before I go in for a second set of tires.

Just as an fyi... Any time you add a spacer you must subtract that number from your offset rating. For example you posted a 10.5 +15 with a 10mm spacer it becomes a +5 offset.

I would run a 275 in the front unless your willing to run a race style suspension alignment... A 285 is going to want to wander and will be tougher to turn in. Again this all can be negated with a more aggressive alignment.
