What offset is required for a 9.5"/10.5" with 255/35-19" and 285/35-19" setup? My favorite wheel is the RH J8, but my favorite color, SBC, isn't available in that size - so I'm considering either the SBC 9"/10", still equipped with 255/285 (will the usual +26/+19 setup accomodate the 255/285 tires, or do I have to stick with 245/275??) or, go with RH J8s in silver so I can have 9.5"/10.5" - but the question would still be at what offset can I get those to not have to roll the fender, and still fit 255/285s?

TIA~!

 

Can I get an a----bump----men?~!?

 

around 28 front and 30 rear would work fine

 

That seems pretty conservative to me.....because a +26 on a 10.5" works fine when equipped with a 275 series tire..and I've also been advised that a 285 would fit with no mods necessary. Are you just being careful?

 

I have +22 all the way around with 8.5 fronts & 10.5 rears . . . . 285s on the rear as well. With stock suspension, no issues whatsoever.

 

350G: how many more mm's do you believe you could have gone outward and still remained safe from rubbing? How close do you believe you are? Do you have pics?

 

...Wooo, that's a big off set on 10.5 with 285 tires.....
I have Volks, 9.5 with 245/35-19 +30, and 10.5 with 275/35-19 +24. Front lip is 2 3/4", rear is almost 4".
In my opinion I could have gone a 255 on the front but with the rear off set a 285 would require rolling at my ride height, they are just to the edge.
Looks with the deep dish...10+....JMHO

 

just for reference I had SF-challenges 19x9.5 in the rear with a 23 offset i believe, 285.35.19 tires and I rubbed going over bumps in the road. I'm on eiback springs as well.

 

SpeedDreams: you've lowered your car how much? You're saying that your 275's are riding so close to the inner edge of the fender that another 2.5mms would rub? Is that what I'm hearin? How far do you believe you could lower your car and have the 285's work at your +24 offset?

 

i have the 19 inch racing hart cpf-tuner in sbc and they are 9 inch in front and 10.5 in back. i dont know the offset but they only come in one size only.i purchased michellin ps2 265/30/19 for front and 295/30/19 in rear. i shaved fender and no rubbing. life is good.

 

Speed Dreams:

Rickdogg (look him up) has Volk 19x10.5" rears +24 dropped fully with Teins, and he says no rubbing...

Man I'm getting conflicting opinions!

 

How do you feel about breaking the cherry on the factory rust protection on the area of the car most prone to corrosion? That would freak me out..course I'm in saltville....not that I drive my Z then anyway....

 

since i live in cali, we break cherrys quite often hahahaa.....rust is the least of my worries.

 

Here's the pic of the +22s all the way around on stock suspension . . .



Realistically, I think 285s might have a rubbing issue if you drop the car over an inch . . . the Espelir 10mm drop would have no serious problems. Using the 285s I have now, it makes the tire stretch a bit to fit the rim. I can't imagine a 275 on it

 

Keep in mind that I have a roadster, they ride lower due to some added weight. My Tein basics were initially dropped all the way when we mounted the Volks. They didn't rub but were at the edge with a 1/4" of space. I believe if I took a big bump they would have rubbed. I raised the rear 8 threads last night an have about 3/4" clearence now but still quite a bit of - camber. I might take it up a bit more, at this point I am about 1 3/4" lower then stock.
My only concern for you was the tires sticking out of the fender well, this may depend on which tire manufacturer you use. I have Toyo Proxes T1S.

I like the lower look on my car so the 275 is max for me. I agree that if you don't lower more then 1" you should be ok.......Good luck, and I don't blame you on a larger foot print, I would put 295's on the rear if I knew they would fit.

Very nice car 350G: great taste!

I'll have +26 on my rears, in a 10.5", or a +19 rear with a 10". Either way, it will be 4-5mm in more than your setup, so that makes me sure that the 285 will fit safely, even if I lower it. Zounds great, and TY for the help!

 

humm...what kind of cherry are we talking about here eh? hehehehe
