Im looking at some wheels that are 19x9.5 +22 & 19x10.5 +22. How much work am i going to need to make it fit my car? Let me know please!

 

dang no one has one advice for the me? haha

 

you need more details...tires, what you're dropped on etc.

i will say right away that those offsets are somewhat aggressive. If you're dropped much more than an inch you're going to need fender mods and stretched tires.

 

I am dropped on Tein flex, planning on running the minimum stretch set up if i decide to purchase those wheels. I just want to know how much fender mods im going to have to do in order to make it fit without rubbing. Anybody have pictures of a similar or close set up as these? Thanks!

 

Your gonna need a fair amount of work to fit depending on the drop. The rear needs to be cut and pulled slightly and the front will need to be pulled a fair amount.

 

IIRC, flex go pretty low. I would suggest the following tire setup:

235/35/19 (decent stretch but not too extreme) Front

265/35/19 (good amount of stretch) rear


You will need at least a shave and pull in the rear, and probably at least a shave up front.

Obviously the higher you ride, the less you have to worry about fender mods.

 

Thanks for the tips folks!

 

I just got some wheels that are:

19x9.5 + 24
19x10.5 + 22

Now what tires size can you recommend for those that is a daily drivable stretch? Also no rubbing while being tucked and will i get a bent rim if i hit a pot hole with 35 series tires or is it safer to go with 40?

 

40 is way too chunky sidewall esp with those offsets. go 35s. you might bend a rim if you hit a big nasty pothole though thats the way it goes. but i daily 235/35 on 9s up front with no issue at all, and i have hit some big dips/drains/train tracks daily/ etc. Just make sure you keep them nice and inflated like 40-42psi and check it say every week (i bought myself a gauge and compressor that clips on ur battery so can do it from home). FYI i have 245/35 on 10" up back which is more stretch than up front but takes slightly less hits being on the rear.

as for your offsets and work to clear and such, i have 9" +27 up front with -2 or so camber. my gaurds are rolled about 3/4 flat. i have insurance coilovers with 10k spring rates and am lowered so my stock bodywork is 100mm from the ground. up driveways my tyres rub the under edges of the guards where they're rolled over. So i need either harder springs, more guard rolling/shaving, or narrower tyres to stop this rubbing. So your rims are going to be about 10mm more aggressive. This will look good, but will mean you probably need a bit more camber than me, and make sure your front guards are shaved right down or rolled right flat and maybe pulled a tad. Also depends how low you go though.

Rears i have 6k springs, -2 camber, 245/35 on 10" and guards are rolled over about 1/2 the size. i clear *just* when the wheel and tyre tucks, but at ride height it looks nice and quite flush. yours are going to be 8mm more aggressive. this isnt much, but means i would suggest shaving your guards down quite a lot, and perhaps run a bit more camber than me. also, i would say you would want some stretch so maybe 255/35.

 

Thanks for the detailed advice ANT! Can i see some pictures of your car?
