Default Fitment on 19" wheels

Quick question. Looking into buying a 19" set up for my 350 but I have a 3" drop on her. Any suggestions on wheel diameter? Offset? I was thinking of running F 19×8.5 +34mm offset and R 19×9.5 +34mm offset. Don't know if that will cause tires to rub. Help please!

Those should be fine. You may have to roll your fenders if you end up having any issues. Try going 225 or 235 size tires up front and 265/30/19 in the rear.

Do you know if those specs will cause issues if I stretch the tires?

Very similar setup to mine AND similar drop. I'd recommend the 225/35/19 up front and 255/35/19 in the rear. I have no front wheel liners AND rolled/pulled the front fenders too.

So I ended up ordering those same specs but with 35mm offset all around. Trying to go for the flush look with a little camber in the rear. Those wheel specs still apply?

next time, and for future readers, you can compare and contrast your current and new set up here (instead of having to do all the math yourself) http://rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp
