Default what's the widest wheels and offset have fit on the RCF

Dear all fellow RCF owners here,

just the simple question again about wheel fitments. what's the best width and offsets of the wheels will fit on the RCF? looking to keep it in 19" as don't wanna go too low profile.

For whats its worth. Im looking at a 9.5x19 front with a 35ish offset. And 10.5x19 rears with a low 30s offset.

this will allow for me to run 265 upfront and 295 or 305 in the rear

Those offsets should work well.
I dont think you need 275 upfront but Ill let others respond.
what will you put on the rears?

no need to go 30 series when 35s give you more sidewall and are within 2percent of circumference

275/30 or 275/35 will fit on the front with a +35 rim w/o scrubbing issues.
I’ve tried both. As long as car is not unusually low. A fender to ground measurement of 25.5-26” and it will clear.

265 tire on a 9.5” rim will look a bit stretched. Better on a 9” rim. But it will bead up fine.
275/30 will give a more square side wall and look better imo.
Guess it depends on the look you want.

275/30 taller than oem 255/35 but it’s close enough.

295 on 10.5 rim is perfect. Almost exact diameter as the oem 275/35
305 even better looking although I’ve never ran them myself.
If you have oem suspension, it may rub? Check with the 305 club...
I think with coilovers 305 shouldn’t rub at +35

Actually not true.

However, a 295/30/19 tire is the same OD as a 255/35/19 tire.

thanks for the info, im not a stretch fan i like the chunky square look more but just afraid will rub if running that width.

im happy with 295s at the rear 305 is just bit too much imo

Where to go for the time sizing chart please?

How about 265/35/19 (front) and 285/35/19 (rear) ON STOCK WHEELS with Micheline PS AS 3+?

THANKS

^^^^No need to use a calculator IMHO. Just go to the Tire Rack WebSite choose a size than a tire. You get the exact dimensions of the tire of your choice. See attachment.
