I've got an 05 Enthusiast lowered on Eibach Pro-kit springs. I've also got some Work Emotion XD9's which the UPS guy just brought--18x10+18 and 18x9+20.

Anyways, the problem is I think I'm going to rub. I understand some tires run a little wider while others a little narrower. The sizes I am interested in are 275/35 and 255/35, and most likely T1R's.

Should I plan on rolling the fenders?

 

I would just put it on and if they rub, roll em

If they don't then cool

I don't think you should have an issue

 

Yup, your right. I just think it's going to be a tight fit. But anyhow, we'll just have to wait and see.

 

I'm getting some 19' Meister S1s 9.5 front, 10.5 rear, 1in drop all around. Think I'll rub?

 

Most likely, unless the offset was super high or something.

 

You might not rub , I myself am running 18x10 +13 with 275/40/18 and just barely rubbed. If it does rub it wont be that much, and I would just roll them in abit. Also you are thinking of getting a 35 series tire which is 5mm less tall compared to mine , so you might be in the clear but just barely.

 

I'm running 19" Meister S1's 9.5 front and 11 rear, with 2" front and 1.5" drop rear. I am not rubbing at all after alignment. The car only started rubbing on the inside when making a turn up a driveway when the springs settled due to bad negative camber in the rear. But Westend Alignment fixed all that.

 

You won't rub.

 

you shouldnt have any issues with those sizes and offsets.

 

you shouldn't rub.

 

Everyone, thanks for the input. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out.

 

I think you will rub on hard cornering or very bumpy roads, or be so close that I wouldnt risk it. You can have your fenders rolled for around $150, I suggest you do it, and sleep better at night...

 

If you run 245/275 you should be more than fine...

 

Since this thread is going... instead of me starting a new one. =)

My question is: I got a set of Lexion x503 19x9+25offset/19x10+20offset (bought from a member on here) I plan on wrapping them with some 245/35/19's-fronts and 275/35(possibly 30)/19's-rears. I was wondering if i was gonna go with some springs instead of a coilover set up. what kinda drop would i be good with that closes up most/or all the gap WITHOUT rubbing? Suggestions please. thanks guys.

 

^^If I had to guess, Id without a doubt say Hotchkis(less than 1" drop but loks good IMO), but for $150 or less why not roll?!

 

a buddy of mine is dropped on hotchkis and he has 19x9 +25 offset, 19x10 +24 offset, 245/35 and 275/35 and he doesn't rub.

 

^^ Yeah but 4mm makes a huge difference when the clearances are so tight. Your buddies wheel sits further in away from the fender...

 

what did you mean by "...for $150 o less why not roll?!"

 

+1 on Westend! Thats where I plan on going once my setup is complete. Just waiting for rims and front a-arms.

 

offsets: +24 front, +29 rear
