It seems the info I got might be wrong.. either that or I misread it earlier. Don't do 235 and 275, that's more than a 3 percent difference in OEM tire specs.
ok so do the 215/35 and the 255/35

Just want to make sure before I order my tires but would I have any problem with the TPMS if I ran 225/35/19F and 235/35/19? What's the diameter difference for this setup vs the "ideal" setup of 225/35/19 and 265/30/19? Am I going to have to run a camber kit with these?

Was planning to order my tires today or tomorrow so just want to make sure.

225/35/19 & 265/30/19 have a difference of 0.2 or 0.8% can't remember exactly

Now, with 225/35/19 & 235/35/19 is a 1.07 % difference. This is what I run on my awd no problems at all.

The 225/265 setup will require fender rolling correct? About how much of a drop can I get away with? Think I can get to 1-2 finger gap? And with a +22/+25 offset will I need a camber kit?

Yes , you will need to roll the fender running 265 with a +25 offset on the rear . Now , using 225/35/19 on the front with a +22 offset will not need a roll. However. if you lower it more than 2" it will require a flat roll. Camber kits may be needed if you want to have postive camber. I took my car to sears, tire kingdom , and pep boys and they said I need a camber kit because the rears have negative camber, I recommend youto find a good alignment shop that can look beyond negative camber and works with lowered cars on a daily basis and knows what they are doing. I found a shop down here in Florida called the Alignment factory and I do have negative camber on the rear but my tires wear out evently.

So if I ran 235/35/19 in the rear I may not have to roll? I'm keeping the drop conservative now. Less than 2 all around. Probably 1.5 for now

Needs you opinion...
I am thinking of grabbing the Varrstoen ES112 19x9.5 22+ all around with 225/35/19 all around on bc coils. Would I have an issue with this set up OR if I can clear with 12+ offset?

Wondering if this would fit

19x9.5 +28 with 235/35/19
19x10.5 +29 with 275/30/19

on Megan EZ coils and 24.5 from fender to ground
would this be okay just with a fender roll? (and front fender tab relocation...etc)
would I need camber kit in the rear?

Thanks!

I think if you roll it completely flat in the rear it will pull your fender some for you to fit it. But if your rim come in a +35 offset that be better.

can I ask a dumb question--i admit I just do not follow most of this. You guys know and understand alot more.

Can I run 17x8 rims on an AWD with an offset of +40 without spacers (using stock size tires)? I realize this is less than the +45 stock, but do not understand what that means....
does it mean I need spacers? does it mean that my wheels would rub at a full lock turn?
