Default Tire and Wheel Setup - 19x9 +35 and 19x10.5 +45

Been reading through build and wheel threads to confirm whether or not this setup will rub on RSR Downs.

Fronts: 19x9 +35 with 225/30/19
Rears: 19x10.5 +45 with 265/30/19

Would this setup be flush? and will it rub?

Sorry if this question has been posted before

That's going to rub I think, especially the rear on dips and rear passengers

the fronts would be fine, but you might have problems with the rear. you could probably get away with minimal rubbing if you stretched a 245 on there, but you'd be poking.

Did you mean 265 at the rear?

It will likely rub with 265s. Consider a slightly more stretched tire (245s) at the rear if you want to keep the wider rims and avoid rubbing.

Thanks guys.

So on a 19x9 +35 - 225/30 Should be fine (no rub) and will be flush correct?

In order to keep my 265s would I need to increase the offset to +45 or will they still rub? Would this still look flush?

i have that exact same setup!! no rubbing at all. if you run a 275/30/19 you still wont rub unless you load your car or hit a big enough bump.

for the fronts you can actually go 245/35 with no issues.


im running :

245/35/19---front
265/30/19---rear

NO RUBBING!!

It probably won't rub if you don't have rear passengers and a full tank of gas lol but I know somebody with 19x10 et40 and it rubs with ppl in the back or moderate dips...so it depends if you can live with that

I find this hard to believe, are you sure you have a 19x10.5 with a +40mm offset? With a 265/30 on there I can't believe it won't rub with RSR downs.

ok, just caught the mistake, OP posted thread Tire and Wheel Setup - 19x9 +35 and 19x10.5 +45, but on this first post he posted 19x9+35///19x10.5+40.....??

but anyways, im running
19x9+35 front-----19x10.5+45 rear
235/35/19 front
265/30/19 rear
Continental DW
RSR down springs no rubbing

im going to try and test fit 275/30/19 in the rears on my next set, that will be a tight fit.

Nice catch! Sorry about that. Looks pretty flush already with +45. Might go with that.
