Default New wheels

Hello. Switching to 19x9.5 et38 fronts, & 19x10.5 et32 for rears. On RSR downs. Was wondering if anyone has had any rubbing issues while driving/turning?

Thanks in advance.

19.5+38 fronts are fine.

10.5+32 rears will most likely rub without camber mods and skinny tires

anything x10.5+38 is going to be too aggressive for the 3is. 10.5+45 with 265 tires is as aggressive as you can get with 10.5 without camber mods.

It all depends on which tire brand you used. Some 275 tires are like 265s... Some 275s are like 295s lol. Crazy but true

Yes I'm lowered on Swift Springs. The rear is nicely flushed and no rubbing. Checkout my build thread if you want to see pics.
