absolutely, i have 19x9 front and 19x10 rear. for the offset, it depends on your wheels. mods? get the spring/shock or coilovers i think.

Unfortunately the 2 things you want are mutually exclusive. You have to crank her down pretty low to have NO gap, and trust me you will have to do some angleing over speed bumps, entrance ramps, etc.

20x9 is doable.

Wow, no rubbing front and rear with lowest drop? No fender mod? I assume you are either at no gap or tucked. What is your alignment like?

Although I have 20s, with your drop, you are even closer to the fender than I am. I had to trim my rear fender and did a minor mod to the front. The front was more a precaution thing since my set up in front is more conservative than yours. The rear are like yours though.

I dont know if this info would help you but i'm running on the Lowenhart LD1's at 19x8.5 in the front w/ 245/35/19 .....I'm quite low.... tucking about a quarter of the tire and no rubbing issues at all. I do however scrape the front on speedbumps and I really need to work on my parking. I keep on scraping my bumper over the parking lot stoppers.


Quick Reply: can i run 19x9 in the front......?
