I am thinking about going:

Front: 19x9
Rear: 19x10

+35mm all around, Disc A (High Disc from Rays.)

What mods/problems might I run into?

I have the money for my wheels, I haven't ordered them yet because I am confused on the fitment.

Any suggestions for a 19" setup?

I was thinking maybe 19x9 is too big on the front, maybe a 19x8 or 8.5 instead?

is anyone running a 275 tire on a 9-inch wide rim? Does the fitment work or does it make the wheel look bubbly from the tire being too wide?

275 works ok on a 9" wheel, looks perfect on 9.5(what I have) or 10" a little bubbly on 9" but I'd do it if the only wheels I had were 9" wide...

yeah I only have 17x9 and really need new tires, but cant afford wider rims + new tires lol so I was thinking I can go a little fatter to 265 (right now im running 255) but I'd like to go as fat as possible and see if 275 works, thanks for the help mitsu

I have 19x9.5 in the rear. I PMed mitsu during my entire wheel decision-making process. He insisted that I should go with 275's instead of the 265's that I had slated in. I trusted his opinion. At the moment, my rear tires are my favorite aspect of my entire car. It makes the car look so authoritative. If I had your car and your rims, I would go for the 275's.

thanks again for further reassurance, ive made my decision to go 275/40-17...i might to need a slight roll on the fenders to make it fit without any rubbing, but we'll see after they're mounted. Going with General Tire Exclaim Ultra High Performance summer tires.

Anybody tried 19x10 +30offset w/275 tire in the rear? any suggestion on how to make them fit?Thanks.

heh, i still laugh when i read "ultra high performance" in that tires name, because they should really be called "mild dry, decent wet performance"...

but anyways, they should fit with little to no problems...

roll the fenders, maybe pull them a tad and run some crazy negative camber...

i have about 5 mm clearance (give or take) and I run 275's on 9.5" wheel, +35 offset, you'll be about 16mm out farther than me, so, you'll need another 3/8 to half an inch clearance... my fenders are rolled flat... might wanna rethink your offsets if you want that width tire (I'm thinking +42ish)

Cody,

Since you're familiar with BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW2 ...
Do you think I should go with 275 or 265 on 18 X 9 wheel for the rear?
The offset is +35.

-------

From this photo below, a 265 g-force KDW2 already looks bubbly on 18 X 9 wheel:
( I copy paste the image from this thread in the classified section)



-------

I don't mind to roll my fender if that what it takes to get a 275 tire when I drop the car with Tein SS.
Basically I want a "fat" set up for my rear & I'm planning to get BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW2 for the front and rear.

One last question ...
The front is 18 X 8, offset is +35 ---> should I go with 235 or 245?



Thanks bro

is anyone running 10" up front? or running a similar setup such
as 18x10f and 17x11.5r?

there is no reason in the world to run a smaller diameter wheel in the rear than in the front... our rear wheel wells are bigger than the fronts, and if anything, you would want to do a bigger diameter rear wheel rather than front... (like I did, click on sig pic below)

i was asking this because there are a few supras running that size with ccw classics that i am debating on buying. i am guessing drag radial selection is better for 17's. so i am asking if it would fit the same since the wheel well in the rear of a sc300 is small then supra.

11.5's won't work without a stretched tire or some serious wheel well pulling...

in which case drag radials would be pointless...

if you are looking for max rear traction, some 26x10-16 slicks (hoosier), 26x10.5-15 et streets, or 275/40-17 ET Street Radials (drag slicks) are the way to go... (all on 8 or 9" wide wheels)

18x10 up front is easy...just stay between 14-24mm offset
