This should be close.

LineaCorse Lemans - Hyper Black (5x114.3/+15+20)
Rear Fenders cut with a 1/4" lip still. Fronts cut smooth w/o lip
19x8.5 - 225/35/19 up front
19x10 - 245/35/19 out back
dropped on Tom's coilovers
Fronts are 2 degrees of camber
Rears are 3.1 degrees of camber











Things to note:

- With enough camber the rear lips will tuck
- If you do not shave the passenger fender smooth, you will pull it out turning into driveways, shopping centers, etc. The best advice I can give you is to shave that fender first if you're gonna be low.

Thank you drive though.

Riddle me this:
Dropped on BCR coilovers. Want to slightly tuck tire.
19x8.5 / 19x10 -step lip
245/40/19 & 275/30/19

What offset for no shaving of fenders?
I'm rolling them but don't want to shave them. Thanks.

Phew, that's a tough one. Even with something like +35 out back those are some wide tires. I would say 35 or 40 something but reduce that tire width. Personal choice really but I run 225/35/19 up front (with a moderately low offset) and look at the pic above......

I've decided to run stretched tires. 225/35/19 F & 245/35/19 R......then I'll be slightly conservative on the offset, +33 F / +28 R then wheel spacer to desirable stance. It's my semi-daily driver, so this will have to do.....for now.

I HAD to run those same tires with my offsets. I'm sure you'll be fine.
