Default Is this Offset good with Lowenharts

Whats up guys,

I will be getting the LowenHarts BSD's in 19Inch (Chrome) in about a week or so. Staggered Setup, 8.0F - 9.0R

2 Questions:

1. The Rims are coming with a 37 Offset, Would this fit fine on my 98 GS3

2. Would 245/40 (all around) fit on without any problems
Iam aware that the speedo would be off a little and that 245/35,275/30 is the best setup with 19's. I just want that extra tire/rim protection --- NYC roads suck

Thanks

C,

since you are not staggering the tyres, why not just 245/40 at 19x8.5 F+R?...btw, +37 should be fine

they will fit..but F at 245 will be slightly oversized for 19x8...and Rear will be undersized for 245 on 19x9...

are you getting 235/275 or 245/275 from the seller?..what brand/model?

thanks

They are 235/35, 275/30 Pirelli P700,

Since it will be oversized and undersized what are the
disadvantages of this?


thanks

The point of a staggered setup is to put a fatter tire in back.

It yields an advantage for performance and looks as well.

I'd run 235 front and 265 back.
