Default Axis Milano 19 x 9.5 +35 Offset -- how low can I go

I know the offset is not perfect.
The current tires are 265/35ZR/19

I plan on changing ot 275/30/19.... with the +35 offset I know the wheel will stick out further so wondering what the drop will be ?

Looking forward to rolling on 19's !!!

Are you putting on front or rear? The front wont fit without fender modification. The rear will fit fine. What suspension you using?

The car can be lowered, but you will not be able to tuck the wheels in the rear with a 35 offset without shaving the fenders.

Its the back. The front are 19 x 8.5 +35

So if I can't tuck would the tanabe d210's be too low.

I have been looking at the nex coilovers -- not seen much on here but popular on other boards.

19x9.5 +35 sits the same on the fender as
19x10 +41.

This is borderline with a 275/30-19 tire; I know people have
done this, but I've typically seen 2-3mm more offset.

What kind of tire? I would say the Dunlop Sport Maxx or
Michelin PS2 might have clearance issues because they
are so versized, but other brands might work.

You can gain about 1/8" (3mm) clearance by simply removing
the black fender trim on the rear quarters.

Thanks for the info.... I had this down when I had an audi but its all a new game now.

They are general exclaim UHP's -- Need to buy 2 as the current tires are 265/35/19. Is there a better size ? I was using sizing calculator and came up with the 275/30/19

Thinking I will try the NEX ss Coilovers

spring rates seem high though
