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?

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.

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)

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

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.

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)
