Default Another will it fit thread..

Hi guys,

Just picked up a 08 is 250 lastnight... looking to buy rims today at lunch- found a good deal but wondering if these will fit... searched around and found every set up but what I was looking for: I have to leave shortly to go see them but was hoping a wheel guru could chime in and help a noob out-

Looking to run BBS LM 19 x 9.5 square set?

My car is bone stock- I'm sure the rears will be fine but its the fronts I'm concerned about-

Thanks in advance!

What are the offsets on the wheels? And good job finding a deal on some BBS LM! Those wheels are gorgeous.


Also its better to post in the "will those wheels fit" thread than making a new one.

Sorry offsets are +30... the fact that I'm having trouble finding out if they fit is probably a good signal its not a good idea to run 9.5
's upfront. Not interested in fender rolling ect. I will try the other thread if no luck soon.

Thanks-

Fact that you didn't really search the forum cause you would of found your answer. There a lot of member run 9.5 even 10 up front.

I just read the entire will it fit thread...a few have asked about running 19x 9.5 +30 in the front but not a lot of follow up. My car is not lowered and RWD- and don't want to install coils or pull fenders... I was hoping for a flush versus poke upfront..I am willing to shave bumper tabs/brackets tho. I would normally lean to 8.5 up front but the ones I found locally are 9.5 +30 square... I'd hate to by them and it look ridiculous...

Well don't know if you get certain offset or it's whatever they have. But 19x9.5 +35 on 235/35 will be perfect.

If your at stock height you will be fine. I was 9.5 +25 slammed to the floor and it wasn't much a problem.

Were you running a staggered or square set up?

Also i dont think itll poke out far( if you were wondering). My 19x10 +30 pokes out about 3/4in on the front. but my wheels have a slightly higher disk to make room for bbk.
