Default 3IS 18 or 19x 9.5 width rims question

Hey,

Anyone running a 18 or 19x9.5 +40 to +35 setup in the front of their 3IS without pulling or rolling fenders?

If so, what set up of tires are you running in the front?

My 3IS is lowered on RSR Down Springs.

Thank you,

Howard

I used to run 18x9.5 ET35 all around on 265/35/18 RE71r all around and Im lowered on KW V3. No need to roll or pull front fender but front wheels are touching the front control arm when making a full turn so I would suggest go about 5mm wider just to be safe.

Hey their, awesome! I appreciate the help and reply. I'm looking into running TE37SL or CE28SL so that helps a lot that your set up before was TE's. What set up are you running now?

Thank you again for the help!

19x9.5 +40 would put the inner wheel reaally close to the inside of the upper control arm. +35 is a better choice, and even with that, you shouldn't run a tire larger than 255/30/19

How are the KW v3s compared to stock? Looking for a smoother than stock ride quality while lowered, and willing to compromise on performance - your thoughts?
