I know, I know. I'm ordering coilovers soon. Lol

Rolled rear fenders, no rubbing.

Niche Misano M117 - Forged Monoblock wheel - They are actually making some nice stuff now.

Front: 20x9 +35 w/245's
Rear: 20x10 +40 w/275's

I also included tire diameters if you want to match front-to-rear or prefer the rears slightly larger. These numbers are going to be +/- a few mm depending on what tires you're running. You could probably get away with 3-4mm less in front and 2-3mm less in back if you're at stock height, and easily 5-7mm less in back if you don't mind rolling the fenders (which can be done for pretty cheap at any body shop).

FRONT:
Size Offset Tire size Tire diameter
19x8 +26 225/40 662.6
19x8.5 +36 245/35 654.1
19x9 +42 255/35 661.1
19x9.5 +49 265/35 668.1

REAR
Size Offset Tire size Tire diameter
19x9 +35 255/35 665.6
19x9.5 +41 265/35 668.1
19x10 +51 285/30 653.6
19x10.5 +56 295/30 659.6
19x11 +61 305/30 665.6

WOW Thanks for posting this.

I just had a bday recently and want wheels but really want to run a PSS set up. 255/295 . I keep looking at wheels but it seems like I will most likely have to go with Forgestar because the wheels can be made with custom offsets .

Anyone have any suggestion on a set up that will not rub ( or may need only a roll ) to fit those tire sizes ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I usually just order through discount tire and they select what I need. Have never been in a situation where I select offsets. I dont plan on dropping the car just want some wide 19" wheels with a much better contact patch for the track. I am all about the Michelin PSS and really want to run a 2255/35/19 and 295/30/19 . Is this possible with forgestar wheels if I do maybe a 19x9 and 19x10.5??

MHT Niches parent company actually cuts ADV1s wheels so they have a lot of similar designs. I have been a fan of their wheels for awhile and the cost is good.

Do you have any different profile pictures, its hard to make out the wheels in those pictures.

I didn't know that. That's interesting. This is the only other pic I have for now. I'll see if I can get some more later.

Volk gtc 19x9.5 +5 front 19x10.5 -21 rear aggressive enough? Accompanied by Aimgain over fenders, Jic coils and A plethora of Figs parts. The Volk gt7 19x8.5 +23 front 19x9.5 +24 rear aren't cutting it anymore

ISF wheel gurus !!! I need your help and advice. I want to run a deep concave wheel and was thinking of running this setup

19x10 et +36 255/35/19 and 19x11 et +55 295/30 Bridgestone S04 . I know the front is huge but just wanted to know if this will clear. I know the front is very aggressive but I want the deep concave look. The 19x9.5 is not available ( also deep concave ) , but the 19x9 is but its only semiconcave.

Thanks

I'm running 19x10 +33 with 245/35 up front and have about 5-10mm of tire to fender clearance. I tried to run a 5mm spacer but couldn't get more than 4 turns on the lugs. Depending on how low you are you might rub on turns at full lock.

The rears should fit fine, they will stick out only 1mm more than the 19x11 305/30 setup mentioned earlier in this thread which is a perfect aggressive fit. The fronts will fit, but they'll definitely rub on the wheel liner on hard turns.My fronts are 19x9 +35 255/35 w/3mm spacer (making it +32) and they rub all the time when parking but never while driving. But it's the inner edge that rubs, so with your setup sticking out about 8mm more than mine maybe that will prevent the inner edge from rubbing as much. Hard to say. But either way, there's no need to worry about fender clearance because there is plenty of room for that.

His setup with 19x10 +36 255/35 will actually stick out 2mm more than yours even though the wheels have 3mm more offset. His tires are 10mm wider than yours (+5mm on each side), so when you subtract the 3mm of additional offset they'll still stick out 2mm more than yours. Do you rub on full lock turns? I would image they do, but it depends on what tires you have since they all have different section widths.

I rub in the front on full lock turns. The rear I only rub on hard dips and its just tire hitting the fender liner.

Thanks for the input. I think Im going to stick with the 19x9 and play it safe.
Jleonard do you think I will be able to drop the car with some swifts with that 255/295 set up ? I am going to have the rear fenders rolled flat. Fingers crossed. I want the car to have a much more aggressive look. Going to scale back the track days to maybe 3 a year rather than 6. The tire and rotor abuse is a little nuts. I know springs are not ideal but the swifts are amazing and when I was in Davis' F with the swifts and 20s the ride was totally acceptable.
