Default So I finally made up my freakin mind! :)

Ive decided to go with 19s all around.
Im gunna pick up a set of Tenzo-r DC-5 v2 in flat black. But I did have a question about offset. Im almost positive that these will work but Id like to know what you guys think first before I do anything. I know I might get flamed for a stupid offset question, but I dont care. hahaha. Anyways Im gunna do 19x8.5 +20 for the front and 19x10 +19 for the rears. Will I be safe with this setup or will rolling my rear fenders be required. I planning on putting doing 245F 275R. Thanks guys.

your fronts are fine, nothing to worry about.

i generally compare offsets to the TE37s 10.5 + 22 offset, and this 10+19 offset

Outer Clearance: RETRACT by 3mm

So yes, you shouldn't need a fender roll. the only difference is that yoru tires wont' be as stretched as it would be on a 10.5" rim.

this is 19x10+15 so it sticks out 4mm more



mind you my fenders were previously rolled...but if i remember where the fender position is, it's close but shouldn't rub.

Not that you want your tires stretched... It's bad for tires, bad for performance of the tires and, in my opinion only, looks pretty dumb.

OP, the size, offset and tire size is great. A 10" rim has a 11" width from lip to lip. 275" tire is 10.8" wide so thats a great fit. A 285 would also be a great fit.

well, 275/35/19 on a 19x10.5" rim is a very mild stretch.



doesn't look that stretched to me.

Oh i missed Tyra...

Depending on how low your car is, you offset is pretty good (flush).
And yes 275 on a 10.5 width does not look stretched at all in my opinion.

That setup looks great, 275 on a 10.5 is a nice look.


I hate this type of crap, it looks so ghey. Why buy a wide tire then put teeny tiny tires on them. So pointless, done only for looks and is actually contrary to what these cars were designed for.
