Default Will I rub?

Thinking about going for this set up..

19x9.5 + 32
19x10.5 + 28

or

19x9.5 + 32
19x10.5 + 22


currently on stock struts, H&R Springs.....

Is this too aggressive for daily driving? Or is this set up just not ideal?

Really contemplating on getting the +22 in the rear but wanted everyone's input...

My concavos are 20x10.5 + 45 in the rear and I barely had room to clear. I also ran my tires with 275/30/20. Hope it helps

if I get 19's, wouldn't I still have more room to clear than your 20s?

your clearance wont be an issue at all. but those wheel specs and not dropped, its going to look mexiflush. since a 19x10.5 +22 is pretty aggressive

you also need to factor in what are your tire specs going to be? we need more info

Depends, what tires do you plan to run with each size of wheel? I've got Genesis "Track" wheels (19x8 & 19x8.5) with 225/35 & 245/35 tires. I have to mention I'm lowered a good bit on BCRs at 24.75 up front and 25 in the rear. Both wheels are a 35 offset, but I had to run a 5mm spacer in the front; so the front is basically a 30 offset.

With that all said, I had to do the "bumper tab" mod and had been running w/o front wheel liners. I slightly pulled the fenders as well. But no cut or rolled fenders.

Seeing your not nearly as low as I am, I don't think you'll have a problem with the front setup at all with at least a bumper tab mod. The rears I feel would be fine as well; but I'll let someone else running a more aggressive/larger wheel answer to that.

Basically you won't be able to just slap those on without doing some modifications to the car. I had 225/30/20 and 255/30/20 for tires. Those are pretty perfect with a slight stretch and there's room. You will probably still have to roll your fenders/ quarter panels and do that bumper tab modification.

Your setup is very similar to mine (installing this weekend)

I have 19x8.5 +27
19x10.5+22

The rears will need to be rolled.

Tire sizes: 225/35 & 255/35

Good luck!

I'm also on h&r springs and i plan on to run 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22 but not sure if that's too aggressive for daily driving on springs.

without a significant drop and those wheels specs, its going to look mexiflush. especially if you have any kind of tire stretch

Yeah its gonna look ugly. Those are standard flush specs but you gotta be on coils or air imo. H&Rs I would go down a inch and be somewhere like 8.5 +22 and 9.5 +22. It will be more conservative but it will give you a overall clean look.

What if i went with +28mm? on the rear offset 10.5? Will I still need to roll the rear fenders? I just don't want to put extra work into the body work if not needed..

Yes you will. A 35+ will not require any work.

Will the +32 clear the front brakes?
