Will They fit without modification? I'm at stock AWD height now.

getting close. either you run semi-stretch-size tires, or you go with fender work to be safe. you'll need higher offsets + semi-stretch tires.

there is a thread for AWD fitment if you need a definitive answer. search is your best friend.

So with a finger gap, does that mean you are on springs?
I thought you were going lower. You should be fine with those 40's with those specs and drop. And at that height you shouldn't have to relocate/shave the bumper tabs. So actually just a roll all the way around would be sufficient.

But just when you do get new tires. I'd get 235/35 in the front. Until then you'll be good with your stock tires.

Alright fitment gurus before my wheels arrive let me know what I can expect... I went 19x8.5 +30 up front and will be running a very mild stretch with a 215/35/19. I'm fairly low on Megan EZ's and will be just barely tucking tire up front. Planning on remolding the fender liners but my question is will I need to roll the fenders/relocate the tabs? Was hoping to get away without it since I'm running the 215s.

Well I'm on Megan coils and depending how it looks Ill either have the ride height the same or just close the gap all around. How about the fender liner? Should I take them off?

doesn't matter, since they'll just be hanging there after your fenders are rolled, and won't really go anywhere. you'll probably have to be creative with your zip-ties to hold them up.

beefy tires for the wheel width. may need it in the front, may not need it in the rear.

btw, why run square wheel sizes but staggered tire sizes? unless your 2is is AWD...

given your listed wheel widths and avaiable offsets, to avoid rubbing issues, go w/ +38 all around.

you may not be as flush, but that's due to the available offsets.

great choice of tires - i have a full set of them and swear by them in spite of their cost.

your proposed set-up will not need fender modifications.

235/35-19 in the front + 19x8.5 +32 is pushing it. i'd go w/ 225/35-19 for clearance purposes.

i doubt you'll need fender modifications in the rear.

problem w/ those front/rear sizes is that you'll increase the amount of understeer given that the front will have the same treadwidth while the rear is one size wider. how much you feel it will depend on how sensitive you are to driving/vehicle dynamics, but it's something to consider.

Thank you, good to know about the tires
Do you think the tire wheel stance would look good with these specs wheel&tires?
I mean would they stick out and look mean, give the car a wide stance ?
maybe 225 is too narrow ?

for comparison, OEM 18's run 225/40-18 and 255/40-18.

so to answer your question, no, they won't stick out, but they will have a slightly more aggressive stance than OEM 18's. and no, 225 won't be too narrow up front.

yes, but you will need fender modifications in all four corners.

215/35-19 + 245/35-19. anything wider will need a significant fender pull.

That would require fender rolling?

What are your thoughts on this spec

work vsxx
19x9.5 +29 235/30/19
19x10.5 +29 295/30/19

Which set up would match my cars better? What would be required to run this set up?

THanks for your help
