But I am gonna be buying another set of wheels soon for another project vehicle I have and want a 19/20 combo. I love the cv3 but am not willing to run a 20 up front.
19" CV3 is officially ordered. This is the first time we have publicized this and why not choose a random thread

Should arrive around August

Looks like a lot of rim poke in the front on the 2nd with cv3s..... Needs to be cambered, IMO... Any shot of the cv3's being issued in 10" wide like the cv2s????

would you guys go with the 25mm offest in the front or would you go with the 35mm and and use spacers to clear the suspension? i wanna go close to the fender but i dont really feel the poke i feel like with the 35mm i can space and possibly still get close to the fender without poking, but im not sure... i been researching like crazy not too many people take the chance with 10.5 in the front.... also what tire would you stretch on to it.... i was thinking a 245/35 but i could be wrong.... i am always up to hear the suggestions you guys have....

Wheel width is measured bead seat to bead seat, inside to inside.
A 10.5" wheel is really 11.5" wide overall. If you measured 10" overall, it's called a 9" wheel.
This is done because tire manufacturers are concerned with how the tire fits the rim - since the tire bead sits inside the rim bead, this dimension is given as the width.

Most people mess-up the backspacing to offset conversion/calculation because of this.

So has anyone ran 19x10.5 in the front?......static not bagged. I was thinking of running them in the front....just wanted to know how many problems if any will it cause. i know a big part of it is going to be the offset. But just wanted to see if anyones done it, wheel/tire specs, fender mods? thanks
