Default Any pics of 19's fat setup on stock suspension??

Thanks to a great guy - Toobers123 aka SP_GS, I've got my set of Veilside Andrew Racing Golt 19x10 & 19x9 rims through to me...just waiting on the rears

Now I'm obviously going to look at having a set of Tein Flex coilovers installed really soon, but just wondering what does the fat setup on 19's look like on a stock suspension GS as that's the route I'll be going for a month or two till I pick up the Flex.

Anyone have pics? Did a few searches but nothing came up.

Thanks,


Mitul.

I'm not sure if running 19x10 wheel is going to work well with fat-setup tires

It will work, it will look a little wierd. The gap is slightly bigger than stock as its still fairly low profile tires.

That is not a fat set up. Fat would be 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. I am in the process of changing out my tires for the fat set up .

Its not? I thought if the car has a wider wheel in the back and a smaller wheel in the front as well as the tires being smaller in the front it is considered a "fat" setup? Hmmmmm

No, that's a staggered setup. I'm on a fat setup, but I lowered my car the same day I got the wheels. Same angle as your pic. Look at the difference in tire thickness. 245/40/19 8.5 fronts and 275/35/19 9.5 rears. So, this is staggered and fat.

Rex, what components are you using to lower your ride? Your setup looks awesome
