BFG KDW2's.

I LOVE them.

 

Wheel offset will play a major role in how large a tire can be fitted without rubbing. Saying you can't run over a 295 without rubbing on a normal alignment with the fenders rolled and not stating wheel size and offset it basically useless information.

 

Alright then.. a little off topic, but Will 10.5J 22+ wheel with 295/30/19 rub without rolling the fender?

Good topic BTW.. I have 275/35/19 PS2s.. It has an excellent grip, but too expensive..

 

Just kind of thinking out loud here... 285/30/19 front is definitely the best match for a 305/30/19 rear, but I wonder how easy it is to clear the front control arms or other parts of the suspension. At worst, you'd need a super aggressive offset and more negative camber to tuck it under, but the negative camber offsets a lot of what you gained in footprint.

But it'll handle nicely.

 

I would say yes. You also need to post if your lowered or not, the more info you provide the better we can help. I run a 285/35 19 +22 lowered 1.5" with -2 degrees camber and I rubbed, I had my fenders rolled. My friend had the same size wheel/tire/offset on stock suspension and he rubbed when taking turns hard. For the piece of mind why wouldnt you roll the fenders? I bought a tool and have been doing it for local guys in the area. Good luck.

 

Ive seen a 285 run on the front, that required a +28 through +30 offset-which I think is perfect for running super wide set-ups, out back with a 10.5" and +30 you can run a 315 with fender rolling. Most Volks runing the aggressive +22-25 offsets are limited to 265's in front, 295's in rear. You can do a 305 out back with a +22 but that requires some wheel gap (minimal lowering) and in some cases cut fenders as the roll even if tight isnt enough clearance.

 

I have an 04 G35 coupe that is not lowered, w/ Alberto's wheels on the way, which are 10.5 width, +30 offset, 18 inch diameter for the rear.

What will work without a camber kit - or is that recommended no matter what for this wheel width?

Alberto, will your recommendation for 315 work without a camber kit?

EDIT: thanks for PM - will 305 work w/o camber kit (ha - I need to read about camber kits now!)

I've got to read up on rolling fenders - pvc pipe and heat gun, right? Anyone got a handy link?

 

Just as alberto said I think you'll rub too. I ran a 10.0 +22 in the rear with 295/35-18s last year with s-tune suspension (near stock height) and had slight rubbing under hard first gear acceleration. Rolled my fenders and I was good to go...plenty of clearance now and I'm only running -.5 degree of camber.

I used these guys...and it worked fantastic. You just have to be very patient and not hurry through it.

 

thank you guys - so much to learn going FI

 

I would recommend some 295 PS2 with a camber kit and set the rear to 1.5 or so if you are not tracking the car. With that setup you shouldn't have any traction issues.

Hmmmm..........interesting, George and myself basically said the same thing yet you chose to qoute me and say it is useless information.But what George said is not? LOL.Why dont you qoute him and say it is useless info? Because you have a vendetta against me I was talking about 18-19" rims with a typical +22 offset.

 

Tim,

Will a +30 offset help (centering the tire expansion inwards and outwards) and preclude the need for a camber kit?

I guess what I am asking is how/when do you decide to run a camber kit?

 

The stock suspension geometry has alot of negative in the rear if you lower your vehicle and you will notice uneven tire wear.This is why GTMGeorge reccomended a camber kit so you can pull some of that negative out,get a better contact patch and not wear your tires unevenly.So I think a camber kit is a must on a lowered vehicle regardless of wheel and tire size.

 

Ahhh - didn't realize that was the basis for that comment.

Only if you're lowered? (I am not lowered and wondering if the stock geometry is ok w/ the big tires out back...)

 

Will a 295/35 tire fit on a 9.5" wheel, +20mm offset?

Thanks trying to go bigger on my rears when I change tires next.

 

Fit yes, ideal no, in my humble opinion

 

So where exactly in George's post did he talking about fender rubbing?

 

Yeah but I've seen cats running 315's on a 10.5" isn't that even more crazy?

 

Not at all 1" of rim width for 20mm of tire width is much more appropriate.

 

You didnt say anything about tire rubbing. You said that without knowing the offset and rim size my info was worthless. He mentioned neither of these things but that info is ok in your book? Give me a break dude.
