Is this feasible?
Front Wheels ET28 19x8.5 Racing Hart rims
Could these be fitted with a 245/35/19 tyres and have a 1" (25mm) spacer as well?
By my calculations the tyre will sit 37mm further out than my factor rims
Rim ET30 -> (ET28-25) ET03 = Offset 27mm fruther out
Tyre 225 -> 245 = Tyre extra 10mm

for reference, I have:
18X9.5 +20mm w/ a 245/35/18 tire up front...compared to OE wheel (17X8 +33), the new wheel moved 26mm out and another 10mm from tire width difference. (I'm lowered ~ 2.5" in the front and don't rub)
So, your set-up will be close to mine.

*check AnotherZguy's threads...he runs crazy offsets - he's a good guy to look at to see the limits of what offsets you can run.

Hmm sounds promising. I'm running standard height so it should make it easier.
I was looking at 20mm spacers but 25mm would make things much much easier due to being able to use the bolt on rather than bolt through style.
How much do your wheels stick out? Have you got any pics of the front wheel straight?

I don't know if i would use the style that just bolt on. I've heard bad things about them. I installed some 15mm spacers last night and it wasn't too bad. I used regular hand tools and it took a couple of hours with me dicking off while doing it.
here's some pics of the wheels:
car in current condition

before dropping car (this is the best shot of the wheels straight forward)

...don't really have any good shots that just show how flush the wheels are with the fender...but they're fairly close to being flush (there's some room to push them out more, but not much)
