Anybody here run 19in rim with 10.5 width on all fours?

How is the handling compared to running the 9.5/10.5 setup? Am I going to have problems rubbing up front with the 19in 10.5 wheel?

 

I've wanted to try this out with the SF-Challange

I know our local member has a 18x10.5 or 19x10.5 on all corners and dropped LOW and no rubbing

 

Wow.. not really a suggeted thing for the 10.5 up front. Curious as to know what would be your benefit? Are you looking to try rotate your tires to achieve a long wheel life or is it just for ***** and grins?

 

the benefit of having a bad *** lip on the front ...mmmmmmm.. id like to see this also

 

Someone has a set of wheels for sale in 19in 10.5 all around so I was wondering how this setup handled since it isn't the standard 9.5/10.5 setup.

 

Handling depends on the tires...

You will have to stretch tires with a 10.5 wheel in front.
Rubbing depends on offset.

 

If all things being equal: same tires, same offsets. How will the steering feel of 10.5/10.5 compare to 9.5/10.5? I'm thinking the car will oversteer like crazy with that much more grip up front. Is that right?

 

10.5 versus 9.5 front same tires?

Theoretically, you'll be stretching the same tire in the front a little (versus a 9.5) so it will grip less or roll/dive less. You shouldn't be oversteering at that point. I think it will be too marginal for anyone to feel a real difference.

 

Not a stretched tire. Say running 275/35/19 on 10.5/19 on all fours. How would that affect handling?

 

I say you wouldn't really notice a difference versus 9.5 since the contact patch will probably be the same. It's all up to how your camber is in front.

A 275/35 on a 10.5 wheel is just a slight taper compared to a 9.5 wheel.

You see that slight taper? how it curves in a bit? That will just not be there when you're running a 9.5



If anything, the steering will probably feel a tad heavier because of the 10.5 but handling wise nothing drastic.

 

I'll tell you right now, i'm running 18X9 with a 265 tire in the front and in the slolom in autoX I get PS suckage. I would NOT do 10.5 all around. Best setup, after i've had my setup is 18X9.5 all around with 265 all around. This way, you can rotate tires, have decent lips and still handle great. I'm more about functionality than looks however, so my opinion may mean ****.
