Are you sure about no rubbing without rolling the fenders? I know +22/+25 in those widths will be ok and look plenty aggressive. I guess with stock suspension it might be ok though.

Figures I would ask the question here instead of making a new thread.

I am in the market for wheels and tires, a guy has for sale 19x10.5 +18 all around with 245/35 tires Front and 275/35 rear. I will be going with 255/35F and 285/35R once I get them but curious if the fronts are too wide? I will be on coilovers with a camber kit as well just want to make sure the fitment will be fine or if I will need to get spacers. Thanks!

Depending on your alignment setup and drop, the fronts will poke slightly more, rears are pretty standard setup for 19s. Might want to look through this thread. The guy your looking to buy the wheels off of also have pics posted in his FS thread.

Ain't nobody got time for that lol I have looked through this and most have found the "standard" 9.5/10.5. He has pictures but only looking right at it not from the side, I requested from the side so waiting on those pics but in the meantime was curious if I was common to have 10.5 up front.

As far as my alignment/setup I still am waiting on my coilovers and plan to install it all at once.

Just throw a set of 265/35 or 275/30 on it for the front and it will work fine. 10.5's work great up front, but it's mostly us TrackRats who use them.

They are already rolled up front. 265/35 would be best bet for you with it being a DD and wanting wide front wheels. Then just adjust camber to the point it clears the outer fender. A front fender pull will also help a bit, i bet you will have close to -2 front camber.

if you do that.. imo, a 265/35 will look better with the 295/35 out back

265/35 and 285/35 rear or 275/35 and 295/35 unless you want you car toundersteer worse that stock.

Yes they look of i want a crappier handling car is cool. 20mm stagger in width is stock , more stagger in wide the more it will understeer. More and more people want a better handling car and are closing the gap in width. Even with a square tire setup, it takes a lot of suspension work to make the car not understeer.

My mind is in a pretzel. Undecided on 10.5 with 275 all around or 9.5F/10.5/R with 255(265?)F and 295(285?)R

You guys prefer the staggered or same all around? It's an everyday Z, drive it DD with the occasional Track use.

Every day i would run a stagger, like the standard 255/275 combo on staggered wheels. Weekend driver i would run a non stagger like 275/30 front and 275/35 rear. Dedicated track toy, identical tires front and rear.

High power FI (500+ HP) i would change up and go back to a stagger for max rear traction.

I think the best thing for me is the square setup. 10.5 275/35/18 all around

i was just saying a 265 would be better than a 255 paired with a 295 out back. 265/35 and 285/35 would be best obviously for the staggered 9.5/10.5 setup, imo.

I just picked up 9.5/10.5 rpf1 255/275 combo.
I was contemplating 10.5 square set up for awhile but I didn't wanna have to run extra front camber or pull my front fender..
And I didn't wanna run a 265 on a 10.5 (Too small for my taste)
..Or have to run two different side walls like terra said
Square set up only makes sense, IMO, if you can rotate the tires.. For dd purposes at least

You could do 275 all around without rubbing or need to roll or pull the fenders

Default What spacers for 19" wheels?

I wanted to add spacers to make my wheels look wider, I dont know what size would look good. I will roll the rears but nothing else. so what im asking is what size spacers would look best with just rolling the fenders with my setup ?

I currently have in the picture:

Hotchkis springs
Varrostoen 2.2.2
19x9.5 +22 front
19x10.5 +22 rear

Are you buying new tires or running the ones you have. Either way, tire size is kinda needed.
