Well got rid of the stock is350 wheels, and picking up some nice Iforged astra's!
Not sure what offset I want/need for a nice flush setup but anyways. They are 19x8 fronts and 19x10 in the rear. Was looking at 245/35 or 235/35 fronts and 275/30 rears. The car will be lowered on TIEN Comfort sports. Im wandering if im going to have to roll/shave the fenders at all with that set up. Looked for peeps with close to the same setup but still no chip. Thanks again in advance guys

I have a question about wheel fitment. Say you have a 19x9.5 +15 wheel and a 17x9.5 +15 wheel. If you put a 245/40 tire on both of these, will they both stick out past the fender at the same length? I keep thinking that the 17" wheel will be tucked in a bit more compared to the 19" because it's smaller. Opinions on this?

i'd say that with the 17 the car will be lower thus more negative camber unless you dial in the same camber that the 19 has, then they should be the same as far as poke goes, hope that makes any sense lol

Cool

I am looking at these for my '94 SC400. Do you think that I will have any issues with rubbing on the fronts with stock suspension for now?

The set up should look similar to this:

yes you will have major rubbing issues, you will have to roll and pull...but my only concern is the 17"...it's just way too small, but it will be agressive

So maybe I will just look at the 18x8's.

So 18X8 5-114.3 +30M Offset sound like they will fit better then? With some 235/40ZR-18 tires?

is that for the rears? do you want aggressive or conservative...the back could be a bit wider, but that will fit just fine...you could even get away with no roll or pull

Well I like how the rim has a concave look but the only sizes that it is made in is 17x9 or 17x9.5 or 18x8. Not looking at modifying the wheels to make them fix. I think the wheel looks aggressive.
