Default rim question?

Im planning on buying some 19's. They are 19x9.5 +25 front and 19x11 +18 in the back. I plan on running 225/35 in the front and 255/30 rear. Im already rolled in front and shaved in the back. Will i need to pull my fenders which i dont want to do. What do u guys recommend. Thanx

oh and if you're running the same set up, why does your profile say "19x9.5+22 19x11+25 " or is that just not updated to new wheels?

I think the width of the wheel will play a role in the needed fender work too, not just the diameter of the wheel. Theres an active thread where the OP is way low on 20's. Offset is important.

Yup, "ShaneC" is on 17's (maybe 18's) and he had to shave AND pull his fenders!

you may need to pull the rear just a little. like 5-7mm. Not much. Just shave the rear than use a roller for a little pull
