My wheel and tire setup - need expert advise.

Sorry for the late reply, had to go racing this weekend

.

Yeah I would throw an 305 on a 10" rim, but thats for sure as wide as I would go. Also, do your research because some tires are wider than what they say on the sidewall. For example, Toyo R888 and R1R run 10mm wider than what they say on the sidewall.

According to my calculations this should roughly give me 1-2mm more clearance on the inside and roughly 13-14mm extension towards the fender. The height on all for corners will be a tiny bit less than stock. I feel this will give a solid and proportioned upgrade from stock and with the right suspension setup will give it a great flush/slightly tucked look.

However, I have a couple of concerns...I see alot of 9.5 fronts ending up with a +22 offset, isn’t that over kill? How will that improve/change the handling characteristics of the car? Wouldn’t that square off all four corners rather than the back wheels having a wider stance (think Porsche)?

My goal is to have an aggressive street setup that I can basically take to the track with little to no modifications. It’s not entirely about the looks; I want to genuinely improve the handling with these mods.

what about 19x10.5 +22 offset in-front? will it fit the brake front caliper's?

Woah, old post!

I actually went +22 in the front, at the time of that post is when most of us on these boards where just speculating what would fit, and stay in line with the stock setup..well you can read more up on my others posts of my setup.
