and you couldn't have left it alone?...

anyways, here's some advice. take the sarcasm with a grain of salt.

- check on the inside of your rolled fenders. if you find areas along the inside where paint has rubbed off, or you see/find shreds of tire rubber, that's where you're rubbing. chances are, the pull wasn't enough to create the clearance needed.

- PULL MORE. 10.5"-wide wheels in the rear have a very small window before you have to pull the fenders out a bit more. at an effective +27 offset, you're a spacer-width past that.

- the progressive spring rates of those f-sport springs will cause the wheel/tire to travel more with moderate changes in loads/elevation. time to invest in a set of coilovers w/ linear spring rates.

- why 40-series tires in the rear? taller sidewall = more sidewall for the fender to chew through. iirc the recommendation was to go w/ 35-series tires. but since your sidewalls are shredded anyways, time to look into new tires.

- don't. run. spacers. duh! or at the very least, run thinner spacers. if you thought you weren't going to expect issues w/ effectively lowered offsets, well... you've been proven wrong.

best of luck.

 

your tire is too big. you need a 245/35, 235/35, ora 265/30
and this is where you are rubbing.


the black box is where that metal tab is that you're talking about. if you still have the bolt in it. you dont have enough tab cut off. i dont suggest cutting more unless you're that low.

the green arrow should be roughly where your rubbing the tire. if it is, get smaller tires and sell the 40 series tires on a g35 forum.

this is 19x9.5+15, right before i tucked the rim. springs arent going to cut it for that offset. you need to go lower to acheive more camber naturally with the drop to fit a 10.5 with +2x offsets

 

with a 245/35 in the rear you might need to shave a little bit but not much, if at all.

with a 225/35 on the 9 you might wanna roll them just in case your on a driveway un even, and catch the fender

a 215/35 on the 8.5 will require no work

 

7PANGET...
Like Mv350 said 225/35/19 for the front19x9+30 and 245/35/19 for the rear 19x10. On fsport springs you will not have any rubbing except for the front at full lock (will have to heat gun a small square section of the fender liner but nothing to worry about.) No need to roll the fenders front or rear. when I was on springs I ran a 19x9+25 front and 19x10+30 rear and only rubbing I had is what I described above.

 

rookie mistake my springs are road magnets and they have a soft spring rate (I will verify). I went 245/40 cuz I thought would be the same as 265/30, thought the lack of width on the 245 would compensate the 40 sidewall.. I shaved that tab in the black box almost to where the bolt is, do you think I can run a 10mm? I already rolled my fenders and I dont want to stay with this wheel gap

I dont have $600 for coilovers right now, just looking for the cheapest solution, even tho I know you guys are totally against that


Thanks again for taking your time to helpin me out guys

 

go with smaller tires and then youll be fine. that 245/40 is what is killing you. selling those tires before they are trashed, and buying smaller ones will help save a chunk of money. a 265/30 is roughly the same as 245/35 as far as stretch.

 

gotcha, looking into the tires now, would running a 10mm spacer on my CURRENT setup maybe clear my rubbing issues?


just saw two 255/35/19 dunlop sport maxx's goin for $150 for both, would that size be ok or look for 265?

 

I'm new here, just picked up an 08 AWD IS250 for daily driving and hate the stock 17's. I've been reading through threads for days now trying to figure out what to go with. I've decided to try and stay non-stagger and want to see if this is the general consensus.

I want 235/35/19 all the way around. In order to do this I need +40'ish in the front and can run +20'ish? I do NOT want to do any rolling, pulling, or major cambering for this to work. Also I plan to do a brake upgrade to the IS350 brakes. Does this sound like these specs will clear those calipers? Thanks.

 

spacers would make it worse because it pushes it out towards the fenders
a good non staggered steup would be 18 or 19x9+38 with 235/40/18 or 235/35/19 all around

 

actually, he's running a 15mm spacer in the rear currently, so changing to a 10mm spacer should not make it worse.

 

o hahaha, i thought he wanted to add one as in he dont have have any on there. ya that should clear it up

 

285/35R19 Rear tire= only .83" taller in overall diameter & 1.2" wider overall from my stock 255/40R18's.
245/35R19 Front tire= only .67" taller in overall diameter & .79" wider then my stock 225/40R18's.

I'm at stock ride height and will continue to be. Not going lower then stock ride height.

PROBLEM is my tire size calculator states that the rear size is 3.06% difference over stock and can result in brake failure... Is that true?
The 19's offset are: 19x8 fronts and 19x8.5 rear all 4 are +35 offset. Will they fit?

Lastly, will our speedometer compensate for the bigger tires and adjust the speedo to read the correct speed I'm going?

 

Hey guys,

Have a question pertaining to TIRES, but I didn't want to start another thread.

I found a set of brand new Eagle F1 wheels [225/35/19 & 245/35/19] off tirerack for ~$500. The CATCH is they are a 2007 production. Is it worth buying these?

Thanks

 

if you believe everything you read on the internet, then yes, it is true. (seriously?) /sarcasm

no, your speedo will not recalibrate itself to read the correct speed. and neither will your odometer to record your driven mileage.

based on your wheel specs, you should just run 225/35-19 and 255/35-19 instead of trying to max out the widest tires you can mount on those wheels (19x8/8.5 +35). but seeing how you're dead set on 245's and 285's, try 30-series instead of 35-series to stay as close to oem rolling diameter.

should be fine, especially from tire rack. i'd buy with confidence.

 

Ok so after reading 23 pages on this thread I have a headache. I dont know much about wheels and would like a little help. Im looking at these 19" wheels and was wondering if they would fit my unlowered 250 and if so, would they rub?

Fronts: 19x8.5 w/ 2" lip 225 35 19
Rears: 19x10.5 w/ 3.5" lip 275 30 19
Bolt Pattern: 5x112

This is all I know.
