Default Fitment Question

19x9 +38 245/35
19x10.5 +38 275/35

Would these have any rubbing issues if dropped on Tanabe DF210s (drops 1.8 in the front and 1.3 in the back)?

Shouldn't have much of a problem. The rear might be really close depending on tire brand. Might try a 265 in the rear to be safe.

I usually will have the parentals in the car with me once a week or so and a few of my friends in the car (2 people in the back) +2 in the front? would it rub? I can be careful over the speedbumps ect; I learned how to do that with my GSR when I had it

He fits but his offset is higher...Hmnn if I needed to mod the fenders what's required in the rear? Taking a dremel to the back?
My offsets are +37 all the way around but one MM won't change much

I'm putting some SSRs on my car this weekend with a similiar fitment. 19x9 +38 in the front with 245/40s and 19x9.5 +43s in the rear with 275/30s so I'm curious as to how well yours fit too. I'm on KYBS/NF210s, btw. I'll post up some pics and comment on the fitment once I get them on.

*EDIT* These are going on my GS400, not my SC in the sig.

Why are you running 245/40 in the front and 275/30 in the rear? The front will be about 1" taller than the rear.

Cheap tire availability =) I'll do a 275/35 in the back when the 30s wear out.

Got the wheels on this weekend and it looks great. The back fits perfect with no rubbing. The fronts will rub on the fenderliner on a hard bump but I can turn lock-to-lock with no problems. The height difference from front to back is not really noticeable either but I when it comes time I will replace the backs with a taller tire.
