I heard Achilles ATR run slighty wider than some tyres and I plan to use these tyres, so anyone with experience with this same setup please share

My car is lowered atm with 0 finger gap at the rear, and 1 finger gap at the front.

In terms of fender work what would need to be done both Front and Back?
see my response to dvo.

225/35-19 + 255/35-19 to maintain oem rolling diameter, 235/35-19 + 265/35-19 if you want to go one size wider.

should clear oem 2is calipers since those 19" genesis coupe wheels clear oem brembos on track package-equipped genesis coupes.

Hi everyone, new here so I need some help.

I am looking at second hand set of wheels and just wondering whether the wheels will fit the IS without issues/ rubbing.

Specs Front: 20 x 8.5 +38 A-Disk
Specs Rear: 20x 9.5 +38 O-Disk

Front Tires: 225/30r20
Rear Tires: 255/30r20

don't mind doing some work on fenders if required. Also car will be lowered by bc coilover, it wont be slammed but lowered to reduce wheels gap.

Cheers..

Ok I'm going to try this again. What size tires would you suggest on my Vossen CV1 20x10.5 +25 and 20x9 +20? My car isn't lowered yet but I plan on getting lowering springs(temporarily) until I get coil overs. Also what kind of fender work would this require if at all possible?

Hey guys, I just ordered some Concept one rs-8's with the following specs:

19x8.5 - 38mm (f)
19x10.5 45mm (r)

I do realize i will have to do some fender mods. I was wondering what tires i should run to have the closest rolling diameter. (I do have an awd) I used 10/10 tire calculator but Im not sure about tire stretching etc. I really appreciate it, im going to buy tires based on your advise most likely.

Also follow up question, can I use the same lug nuts or will I have to get extended ones?

I know I can run 225/35 front s but What do you recommend for the rear? 255/35 or 265/30? I think 255 is closer to diameter but doesnt that mean more stretch? Im trying to stretch the tires as least as possible

^ I am no expert but the specs you posted seem like you won't need any fender mods at all even fully dropped, someone correct me if I am wrong.


Edit: question of my own, 19x9+30 225/35/19 FRONT.... Will adding a 10mm be too much chaos for driving?
Bumper screw already relocated and fenders rolled... Thanks guys

225/30-20 + 245/30-20

rolled + pulled fenders and shaved fender tabs are a must.

you actually don't have to do much. the fronts will be fine w/ 225/35-19. the rear could use a light roll. try 265/30-19, though 255/35-19 isn't a stretch on 10.5's

if you have clearance issues now, 10mm spacers up front will create more issues.

you can decide for yourself if what i say makes sense.

I have 8.5 9.5 +36 VSXX originally, now I'm willing put my rear wheels in the front wrap with 225 35 19, I bought a 4 inch lips for my rears(with re-lip with the old front wheels) I'm not sure what's the width and the offset, with 245 30 19. My front fenders are completely shaved slightly pulled, my rear fenders only rolled. with the new set up should I do more modification for my rears? and front? thanks alot

i can't make the assumption that the inner/outer barrel width can be determined by offset.

if you can get me measurements for pad width and/or outer barrel/shell, i should be able to crunch some numbers for you.

btw, checking VS-XX specs on work wheels' website, i can't find 19x8.5 or 19x9.5 in +36 offset. please double-check your wheel offsets. disk type would also be helpful.
