Off by an inch in the rear because you'll need more offset with a 10.5 -10 and a 285. That's rub city unless you pulled it out an inch.
ahhh ok. So the wheels are +20 offset without any spacers. So maybe keep the rear like that. Throw a 5mm slip on maybe front? 285/35?[/QUOTE]

No spacer and maybe a 10mm slip on in the rear with 285/35

Wrong thread, try again later when you install some wider tires up front

Default My contribution

Here is mine. Lowered on Eibach sport lines 1.2 inches.

Wheels : Avante Garde M560
Front : 19x9.5 +20mm
Rear : 19x11 +18mm

Tires : Bridgestone RE-11
Front : 255/35
Rear : 305/30

No rubbing at all. I will be changing the front tire size next time. Possibly 275/30 on the front. Very happy that I was able to stuff 305's out back without issues.

Once you change out the front tires you cars pics will actually belong in this thread.

Thank you both. So 275/30 in the front and maybe a little lower? Any opinions? I might switch to coilovers soon but some guys told me the ride sucks. Since I installed the Eibach springs the ride really sucks, so are coilovers worse? I still have stock shocks and that is probably why it rides rough, but a set of Tokico shocks are as much as coilovers. It handles great but bumps are very harsh. Even small ones. What I would like is to be as close to the ride quality it had before I changed anything, but sitting the way it is now or slightly lower. I don't race or ever intend to so handling is not a priority. Keeping the car functional without scraping, rubbing or banging is priority. My next big mod is the GTM twin turbo kit so if that makes a difference on suspension choice I would like to know. Sorry for jumping in here asking so much. Thanks

When combined with 255 fronts, nope , does not belong.

Worn out shocks with drop springs will cause a harsh ride, cheap china coilovers will cause a harsh ride. There are a few coilovers that you will be very happy with.

So which coilovers would you recommend? You speak as if I'm on a budget? Don't mistake my research for cheapness. I just want to spend money on things I won't regret. I don't buy a new blender in my house without reading 10,000 reviews first. Maybe I'm crazy but not cheap.

I don't think the thread title excludes only fat rear tires, maybe it should be changed. His jimmies wouldn't be rustled every other day then.

I was on stock and it was one hella bumpy ride. Got some stance gr+ coilovers (TrueType) and set the damping level to one above default. Ride is smooth like a baby's butt. I also have no issues cornering at high speeds. So far happy with my sh*t.
