ok so i have searched this board for the last 2 hours but havent been able to find anyone to match my situation.
im looking to buy a set of 19's and the ones ive found are 19x8.5 with a 35mm offset.
i have a set of hanhook ventus 235/35/19 tires. As i have been reading, it may rub the rear knuckle or the fender. I have my rear fenders rolled.
I'd like to see if anyone else has this setup on their car.
im running eibach sportlines with kyb nonadjustables.
Do you think this setup will fit propery?
Is it going to come out of the fender well too much?
ive ran all the fitment calculators and they all say it should fit, but im not confident.
thanks.
 
howdy i have tried a setup very similair to yours 19X8.5 38mm offset with 225/35/19 and it tore my rear tires up like a mofo and i only had the prokit at the time. so with your wider tires and lower car i can almost gaurantee that it wont fit...
 
I have 245-45-17s with no fittiment issues. If you use this calculator, you'll see that they are just a tad bigger than mine, and mine are wider. Given that size and width, I can still turn lock to lock with no rubbing, and even on bumpy ass Ohio roads the tires don't scrape the fender well (with a nice, stiff suspension). If you're still paranoid, go for a 30 A/R, and it WILL fit. Just make sure you have a good suspension setup or you will be rubbing.
 
Ok thanks guys.
i went ahead and did some more research and here are the specs on the rims.
they are 19x8. 35mm offset. 73.1mm center bore.
it will fit on the inside but will the 35mm offset push it out too far and then ill hit the fender on every bump?
 
I am running 235/35/19 on my Racing Harts. All you have to do is roll the rear fender and there will be no problems. They will fit fine.

Did you bother to check your alignment?
 
Has anybody ran a set up like dre's? 255/45 on 17x9.5 wheels. I wonder if he had any issues with that set up.
