I am thinking of picking up a set of works. Right now I am just on springs, no other suspension mods.

19x8.5+25 (clear big caliper) 19x9.5+35 5x114.3

The other set is 19x8+38 19x8+36, but I would like to put the biggest tire on possible to keep traction. I dont mind rolling/cutting the fender lips.

Will that fit?

I have 225s for front and 245s for rear.

Thanks in advance!

 

If you go with either set I don't really see any problems that should come up.

I had a set of scaras that were 19x9 +29 and 19x10+35 and had no issues. I was on 235/35 and 275/30's

Have you used the 1010 offset calculator?

go with the staggered set.
8s all around are still too close to stock and you'd need spacers to push em out.

 

225 and 245 is not the widest you can have. I would go 245 and 275, but you might have to trim the fender if you don't want to rub.

What are your plans for the car? If you don't have many mods, why are you concerned about traction? The first thing you must eliminate is body roll, then work from there. IF you are interested in traction for launch, then look for an LSD.

 

That's kind of a weird offset combinaton.

The fronts are fairly aggressive, but not overly so.
They would sit on the fender the same as 19x9 +31

The rear are actually kind of conservative and will only sit out 3mm
further than the fronts. Would look the same on the fender as
19x10.0 +41 or 19x10.5 +48

You'd need a spacer on the rear to get them anything resembling "flush."

For perspective, my FRONT wheels are more aggressive than those rears.

 

This man knows @@@@!!!!

 

+1 without a spacer in the rear i think your front is gonna look alot more agressive than the rear

 

is there a reason for you picking 19x8/8.8 19/9/9.5? imo I would do 19x9 +29 and 19x10 +25, since you want wide tires, and you're willing to roll or shave your fenders.

 

that's not true, the front wheels are only further out between 3-5mm than the rear, "stock". Lets say that 9.5 was an 8.5 and we swap the extra inch into the offset, the rear wheel would now be a 8.5 +22 That would make it almost identical to the way the front would look on the car being a +25.

He is probably looking at used wheels. Got to work with what you can get.

 

I'm a little confused by this statement... in my experience, if you use the same wheel on
all four corners of a 2GS, the rear wheels are buried about 1" (25mm) more than the front.

Look at the stock wheels on a GS. The rears are lost!

Because the new wheels basically have the same frontspacing front & rear,
the front wheels will be fairly aggressive on the fender and the rears will
be more tucked.

A 20-25mm spacer would flush the rears up a bit.

 

Are you sure, the reason I question it is most stock wheels use a 25mm spacer to push them flush in the rear and use a 20-15mm in the front. A full inch would be a 25mm rear with nothing in the front. However; I can't say it's a fact because I never measured them. When I take my wheels, I will measure from hub to hub front and back, unless someone has done it, then please post.
