On the 275/35 Dunlops on 20 MM spacers...yes I said 20MM spacers strapped to a +23 10.5 Work Meiser s1's? (Total offset +4) Quiet like a church...no rub.

I'm sure they're close to Toyo T1-R dimensions too.
You can be borderline aggressive and still have some meat back there. Only thing is you have to be on top of whoever is rolling those fenders. Sometimes rubbing and no rubbing is determined by that extra mm of pressure during a fender roll.
Allen said the SF-Challenges were +21? Whatever, what is 2mm anyways?

damn...how the hell do you drive like that...I can only assume if you hit a small bump or go up a slight hill the inside of the fender rubs the tire..no biggy I guess.

Hey everyone, im sure some people have seen my psot in regards for running spacer. if you havent, let me tell you as i need some help!

wheel tires:

Front-245/35/19
rear 275/35/19

rims:
19 inch with 25 offset front and 22 rear

fronts-8.5 wide and rears 9.5

I am going for that stretch look but since the width of my rims arent as wide as 11's would running 20mm spacer get me the look i am looking for? BTW my fender are rolled
i was looking at another tires size 265/35/19 and it looked a bit better with the specs of my wheels but id like to have a high profile tires. comments/help. i will also make a spearate thread in case this doesnt belong here

thanks

Simply put...no.

Some of these guys are running at minimum 9.5/10.5 so they have like an inch (that's like 15mm) more than you .

You have to reaaaally offset the wheel into the negatives to get the kind of poke some of these guys are getting. With a 20mm spacer you'll be sort of close to flush and it will look good, but not "aggressive" in the context of this thread. To achieve that you'd have to upgrade wheels or take a swing at 30mm spacers.

As far as your rear tire, I run a 255/35 on my front 9.5 wheel and it's barely a stretch.

^^ hmm i see so either buy another kidna of wheel or get smaller tires correct?

the first poster "nipponpower" is running 8.5 and 9.5 with smaller tires, his seems pretty aggresive

i would get another type wheel but the only good one i could find (not cheap but fair price) didnt come in any wider width

nipponpower is actually running:
19x9.5 +10 225/35/19 front
19x11 +17 245/35/19 rear

You don't have to get different wheels, but you would have to run the biggest spacer you can find to achieve "that look".

Tire depends on how much space you have left between the lip of your wheel and the fender. If you stretch too much while the wheel is still sunken in, it won't look right.

In my opinion, I would just sell those wheels and buy some new ones with a more aggressive offset. I would never put 30mm spacers on my car, just my little two cents worth.

I've said it before... You've got ridiculously good taste on your
previous and current setup. Amazing sc. very very tight setup.
