Vossen has a black friday deal until December 2 and I want to jump on this. An authorized retailer told me that my fitment was 19x8.5 et32 and 19x10 et42 but I have no clue if this will rub or not! Can someone confirm that this will not rub? I will lower the car in the future. Please let me know cause I only have two days to decide. Thanks!

depending on the tires you're going to be using, it may or may not rub. what are you planing to run with the wheels?

NO CLUE! I guess I was hopping to hear what works and what doesnt work. I dont want to have stretched tires, maybe very minimal.

I'm running Vossen CVT in same specs. Lowered on RSR downs.

Tires i'm running are Front 225/35/19 and rear 255/30/19.

I'm not concerned with the front rubbing at all, the rear however does rub occasionally.

The way its setup right now, there is pretty much 0 finger gap (rear). The tires do stretch a little as well.

In my opinion, you would need to have the rear tires stretch a little so that it would be more forgiving with occasional dip in the road.
If you go a 265 + there would be less stretch which may lead to less gap. (More opportunity to rub)
I would worry about having passengers in the rear and going over little bumps (it will rub)

I have a set of Vossens that are those exact specs. With Continental DWS 235/35 & 265/30 and lowered on half downs I didn't have any problems, but I never really had a car load, either. In my opinion it has a slight stretch in the back. Do a search or look in the aftermarket wheel thread and you'll find a lot of info.

So I'll probably be going square 19x8.5et32. I was doing some reasearch and the recommended tire size for that width is 235 o 245. I was playing a bit on willtheyfit.com and seems that the 235 have a slightly stretch (see attachment) what do you think? Will either one work on a lowered car?

Another things is, is the profile too low? Should I go 40 instead of 35?

How low are you planning to lower the car?

blizz24

something like downs or half downs or in between

10 inch wide on the rear with 35 offset. I rub when there's 2 passengers other than myself, or when i hit really hard bumps. My rear fenders rubs against the outline of my rims. I am not lowered; if you were to lower yourself, it should not rub due to the natural camber.

I changed my original Continentals and went with Michelin Pilot SS to use as summer tires. The tire shop couldn't get 235's for a while and I was too anxious to wait, so I went with 245's in the front - mistake. Front fender liners rubbed pretty bad.

I'm currently running these wheels/tires setup, and lowered on Tein S-techs. Absolutely no rubbing with full occupancy.

Fronts: 19×8.5 +36
Rears: 19×10 +47
Tires: 225/35/19 and 265/30/19

You're good on the fronts. Tire size 225 or 235/35/19 would be just fine

Rears gotta have a little stretch in the tires for it not to rub. I'm at 19x10+45 with 255/30/19 with no rub. I've got a little less than a 2 finger gap on rsr downs. so with your setup, which is a little more aggressive in offset, but if you go with half-downs, 255/30/19 would work just fine. you'd rub if you went any wider

I got the CVT's in 19x8.5 ET32 all around and yesterday I placed an order for 245/35r19 but got a called from Tire Rack saying that the front will rub, what do you guys think? Should I go 235/35r19 front and 245/35r19 rear or all 235/35r19?

i see that you ignored all of our suggestions. lol. 19x8.5 with a 245/35 will rub the liner pretty bad (as doodlebug experienced and stated above) and it's not recommended to go narrower than OEM width on the rears. any reason you want to stick with a square setup? AWD? if not, even with 19x8.5 all around, i'd go with 235 or 225/35 in front and 265 or 255/30 in the rear
