Flushed good enough for me

25mm spacer. Pardon the rust on the rotor. Car is sitting. I'm doing a t-belt

Front wheel. Car resting on a jack stand on the passenger's side. Riding on stock suspension with 30mm rca and it gave me a 1 inch drop.

5mm spacer in the front to give me clearance. LS400 brake calipers were touching the rim

I made a correction to my previous post. I previously guesstimated that my rears were closer to flush than they really are, but I was off by a fair amount, so my mistake. I went out and took some measurements while I was installing brand new lug nuts a moment ago. My rears are about 20mm set in from the fender. Based on that, I updated my estimates for Aeok18109 accordingly to needing a 15-20mm rear spacer in order to be flush with the fender.

Hi all, I am planning to run 19x9 & 19x10.5 Vertini Drifts wheels. I want to put 245/40/19 front & 275/285 40/19 rear. I am not going for the slam or extreme camber look. Also I don't want to run stretch tires as well. Will this combo work without rubbing issues and I am just going to low it to a 1 finger gap. I see a lot of people running 35 series tires and stretch tires just for the look. I want good side wall for handling. Should I get summer or all weather tires? Thanks for you help in advance.

You live in California and you want handling. Summer tires, of course.

1010tires.com & do configurations. You can get away altering the tire size. But if its not the recommended size, down the line you'll have problems. Premature wear, cupping, sidewall bubbles to name a few.

You need to match the diameter of your stock tires. 35 and 30 series tires aren't done for vanity with 19s; they're a necessity with any reasonable tread width.

I was told the recommended tire size for 19s to handle the load capacity since I'm running staggerds is 245/35/19 for the front & 265/35/19 for the rear.

I've got Drag DR34's 19x8.5 on the front 19x9.5 on the rear. 265/35/19 and 285/30/19 (fat boy set up) with no rubbing. Not lowered yet but damn such a huge difference in ride and handling quality already!

So I should use 35 for all tires then. I just don't want to bend or crack my rims since here the some of the streets is bad with pot holes. What tires are you running on your car? Thanks.

I'm running Continental Extreme Contact tires on my set up

Michelin pilot a/s +3. I live in dc/md area & portholes are a killer. I run 40psi to absorb some of the impact

Great mileage... terrible wear.

Will this size be an issue for a 2003 GS300, especially the rear?

18x8 48 Offset front (this shouldn't be an issue)
18x9 55 Offset rear (the 55+ offset is a rather large number, one that I hardly ever see)
Note: tires are 245/40/18 all around (even though it's a staggered set up).

Thanks in advance and any wisdom coming my way is greatly appreciated.

I don't know about an "issue", but they are going to be really sunken into the wheel wells.
