Default 11 inch wide on fronts?!

Is it possible?

Or is this just a crazy fantasy idea in never neverland..

Fronts: 19x11+25 | 235/35/19

Rears: 19x11+15 | 275/30/19



Rears are an easy fit, just worried bout clearance on the inner side of fender well on the fronts.

Im sure its possible but seems like you'll have alot of problems turning or well it wont be able to turn much at all, and alot of pressure on your steering and suspension :/ I think the guys who have done this mostly have air suspension.

I know someone who did that to a 7 series and it created alot of problems, but perhaps somoene who has done this can be better help!

Goodluck

It won't work without fender work.

I'm running 19x11.0 -2 and 19x12.5 +5 but have extended both front and rear about 2.5"

I am going to pull the fronts and rears, maybe shave the rears. I'm just wondering if the 11 inch on the fronts will have space in the inside fender well when turning the steering wheel.

What do you mean by you "extended them" and what size tires in the front?

Front fenders from the Immex kit were cut and moved about 2.5" out:




Rear metal was cut and moved 3" out:




I'm running 255-30-19 and 285-30-19 which gives a slight stretch and functional....nothing stupid like those trends these days.


I'm static on coilovers:
