mounted, aligned, no problems. tirerack said it wouldn't work. works fine. but could use a bigger tire.

ps dropped on eibach and tokicos.
^ LOL!!!!!! That's like saying that we cannot fit Supra turbo rims. Shows how much tirerack truly knows about fitment.

What do you guys think about this fitment?

19x9 +26 245-35-19
19x10 +26 285-30-19


I know I will need to roll all fenders, and probably pull the rear if I dont go for a smaller tire. Any other problems you see with this fitment?

Rolling, yes...I doubt you would have to pull the rear though.

with those tire sizes you might have to pull your rear fenders slightly..

i know for a fact that they would fit fine after rolling if you just went with smaller tires..

all you really need is two new tires for the front, because you can use your 245s that you currently have on the front and just put those on the rear and buy some 225s for the front

You may be able to fit with just a roll. 19x10 +30 with 275/30/19 was no problem with a roll on the rear. Like Work says go with some smaller tires and you will be fine.

Should look nice !

Thanks for all your input guys. I was planning on buying some 225/ 35 for the front and move the 245/ 35 to the rear. What do you guys think of that? or should I go with a 40 for the front?

I like to keep the diameters the same, so whatever profile will accomplish that.

Actually I was going to say 225/35/19 and 245/35/19 are fine. Doesn't look odd or anything. Its also good to have the smallest tire possible for our front fenders with 19" ! They are not designed with wheel clearance in mind.

Cherplex nice wheel specs !! hawt

here is my old 929 with 19x9 , 19x10 with 225/35/19 and 245/35/19 Falken ST115

Anyways, I assume you're comparing the fitments to stuff like this:
When I say lower income, I don't mean 'Mexican'. I mean, quite literally, lower income. I didn't necessarily want to say "poor people". Not race-specific.

That's not the look I'm talking about (picture of the low rider). I'm talking about the POS cars that I happened to see scattered all over Cancun, used as taxi cabs, with ugly wheels just sticking out. Not lowrider style, just wheels sticking way out past the fender. See the picture I posted. Wheels like that are what I refer to, only the cars I see are stock bodied and have no other mods.

I'm not trying to stir anything up and I appreciate others opinions but comparing those of us trying to acheive a nice lip with stretch tires to a very different style of car ethusiasts who put 12-14 inch daytons and such is mediocre. Let alone mentioning that we resemble "lower income" cars when in fact I know that the majority of members on this board running low offset and stretch tires pay more than most on wheels to modify their cars to their liking and not to please others.

Let me join this wheel fitment thread. I have 19x8 1/2 f 44 offset and 19x9 1/2 r 41 offset. Worth mentioning is my fat tire set up...245-40 and 275-35. Car rides excellent though I would have preferred a little lower offset in front...42 would have been perfect for smooth factory type ride. I sacrificed bigger lips to get the smooth factory ride. It's so close to factory I've not burned up the tires...had em over 2 years and have the rest of this year to go. Most important to me was the smooth ride with some performance handling. Add the Tein CS and I'd say it rides perfectly.

I'm glad finally somebody finally said this.
