Repost since i got no response

I am looking at a set of Linea Corse rims that are:

LC818 5X114.3 19x8.5F +30 73 Hub Bore
LC818 5x114.3 19x10R +38 73 Hub Bore
4 Concentric Hub Rings will be included 73>60.1

My question is I am not a fan of the stretched tire look at all...I am looking to run a square setup..

Would I be able to fit a 235/245 up front and a 265/75 out back....I am would not have a problem doing a roll and it will be setting on a pair BC coilover....

The bigger tires the better...

What do you guys think?

Those are pretty weak offsets (as opposed to aggressive) Your fronts are going to be SUPER sunk, and rears will sit in about 13-15mm from fender. Run a 285 in the rear, you've got the room! I'm running a 10" wide in the rear +25 with a 275 and it sits flush. my fronts are 8.5" +25, and I have a 15mm spacer on there, and they are still sunk.....

18x9" 22+ in the rear on 265/35/18.

I understand from the first post 10" 38+ is maximum on the rear before any fender mods, etc, is required. But if my math is correct, dealing with .12" (3mm) difference.... a few hair over. Can that be walked away on or should I roll the fender to accomodate that 3mm?

I'm not wanting to stance, etc etc etc whatever with that super camber stuff....

My options are only 18x9 22+ or 50+. Or if I go 18x10, the wheels is only available at 15+.

Default +50 too high?

will any amount of spacers make an 18x8 + 50 work?

Only lowered an 1"..not looking for crazy flush fitment. Found a good deal local with brand new tires.

Sure, if you go for a 10 or 15mm spacer then you'll be fine. A 10mm spacer will give you an effective offset of 40mm which is OK and a 15mm spacer will give you an effective offset of 35mm which is more ideal for an 8" wheel. Are all four wheels 18x8?

yes its a square set up. 15mm is about what I was looking for didn't want to go much further than that.

Thanks!

I have some wheels that are off a mustang 18x8F +24and 18x10R +45. I'm not looking for a crazy aggressive stance. I'll be lowered about 1.5in, I don't wanna do fender mods or rubbing if I can avoid it. What proper tire setup should I be looking into?

Came across these searching for some Varrstoens ES222. Anyone got some advice if these offsets would work on 97 Sc? lowered on coilovers/ have front/ rear fenders rolled

Front Size : 19x9.5 Front Offset : +22
Rear Size : 19x11 Rear Offset : +25

If you anyone has tried this please let me know... post pics if you have similar set up

The 11" rears +25 look amazing. You WILL need to stretch the tire, and do a minor pull. There is a picture on here in the 20" wheel thread with a flat black SC with 20x11" +25 in the rear and 20x10" +15 up front. Looks great! If you're only going to go 9.5" up front, you might want to look into the +12/+15 (I can't remember which offset they come in) so that the front will be closer to the same fitment as the rear

It will fit if you know what you are doing. I'm running 19x9.5 +19 and 19x11 +19. Stretch tires and have a decent amount of camber.

This was before I pulled my quarter panels, it is just rolled flat in these pictures. (I'm on air btw)
