Please help.. Does anyone know if 275x30x19's will rub?
I need to get a def answer... I ordered new rims and i'm screwed if my tires rub. My rim size is 19x9.5 and the offset for the rim is 36. I've tried looking for a post on this but i couldn't find any. My suspension is stock. Help me out guys. THanks

I hope you ordered this for the rear only.
19x8.5, +38 to +45 - front
19x9.5, +38 to +45 - rear

Peter @ Wheel Experts is also very, very knowledgable...don't leave him out!
No in addition to what Will said...
On the rear, you can also do a 19" or 20" x 10" with a +42 offset. I haven't pushed the limits on a 10" wide setup but I know a +42 will work and depending on the tire, you can probably push it out a little more (like +40). Also, depending on the wheel design, you can go down to +47 if need be.
On the front, you can also do a 19" or 20" x 9". Again, +42 or so should be good....I wouldn't go much deeper than that...you'll start getting too close to the suspension upright...
And don't forget about brake clearance if you have a big brake kit (well, except for the Wilwood 6-piston setup I'm working on which will have the same caliper clearance needs as the stock caliper.) For those, you'll need a high disk setup...I recommend using a 8.5" wide wheel with a +38 just to be safe...
If you want a comfortable ride and some extra rim protection, the 19" Fat setup is the way to go...ask Cerberus about it...he has that exact setup (and someone else with a GS has it too...I can't remember his name). I'm also going to do this on my SC400.
For that setup, a 19x10 rear is perfect if you're going to use a meaty tire like the S-03...Which, BTW, with the fat setup, you're rather limited to your tire choices but the S-03 is available and that's the tire I'd run anyways...Pirelli is your other choice...but personally, I think Pirelli's SUCK.
Front Wheel - 19x8.5 (+38 to +45) or 19x9 (+42)
Front Tire - 245/40-19
Rear Wheel - 19x10 (+42 to +47)
Rear Tire - 275/35-19
It's best to pick out a wheel and then look to see what's available. If you pick a decent wheel from decent company, chances are they will have a decent setup for your car.

dam. you really want the wheels to fit. didnt the store you order from advise you at all.call tire rack they will give you the facts, a simple yes or no.not maybe...i know that anything under 42 will rub in the back, the offset doent always give you a deeper lip.
