An 8.5" wheel is the minimum recommended for a 255/35-19" tire. --Spike

You will need some spacers for the front wheels. Better yet leave the dubs to someone with a SUV

Spacers up front will do the trick.

Default Do I need to get my fenders pulled??

Hey guys,

I am running a 10.5 inch wheel +12 offset with 255/35/19 tires in the rear. There is about a 10mm gap but I want to install some 15mm spacers. Will it rub in the rear? Do you think I need to get them slightly pulled? They are already rolled. I don't want to run the 10mm spacers because I have to take off the caliper/rotor to get to the studs, 15mm ones are just straight bolt on. Thanks

Just buy wider tires to cover the gap, no need to run front tires on the rear of your car.

Just put the 255's up front and you only have to buy 2 tires. Then sell off the 235's to make up some of the cost. Will only cost you a few more $$ than buying spacers.

So instead of just getting the right sized tire you logic is that you want to go (-3) in the rear to make up for the gap?

You can have 10mm custom, hubcentric bolt-on spacers made for less than $100 last I checked. But just for reference:

19x9.5-3 (+12 w/ 15mm spacer) 235/35
19x10.5-8 (+12 w/20mm spacer) 255/35
Fenders rolled
Natural camber
No rubbing
