unmount the tire, flip the tire, and remount....thus allowing for a more even wear

Sorry for the chitty pics, but just took them real quick w iphone.

Not sure if this qualifies, but

19x9.5 et.17 245/35/19 KDW2
19x10.5 et.18 285/35/19 KDW2

I DEF had to roll fenders... but i think i rolled alittle too agressive and far up. Anybody else rolled this far down the fender? My setup isnt that aggressive...but at least i think i made enough room for future 295's...?

Thank you. I've been getting that a lot since I switched to this set up. I think I'm gonna go w some springs for now to drop her about another inch. Just haven't decided which kind to go with yet.

Got any pix?
I have a 8.5 +10 up front with a 255/35-19, but the front has plenty of clearance with the exception of the top fender liner screw.

Yes, I have no fender gap, but not as low as some.

So yea, been looking at a few setups and tossing around alot of ideas but I still cannot grasp the whole "OFFSET" concept. I've researched but I can't seem to quite get it. Pretty much i'm thinking about running 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +12 all round with 255/35 front and 285/35 rear on stock brembo's. Would this mean I need to roll my fenders in order to obtain such "flushness" but be able to successfully track this setup and re-adjust for daily driving? Or would I have to go with different offsets or tire setups? I'm pretty much looking for function on a track but occasional drives to and from the track. If anyone could share their input, i would appreciate it, it would greatly clear up the confusion i'm dealing with.

Im running a 19x9.5 +2 with 275/35 in the rear and i am flush. so your setup that you are looking at seems pretty close to be flush. You will need to roll your fenders if you are going to be lowered.

i have a question. If someone runs stock rims (18x8) with 245/45/18 all the way around and have the flush look by lowering the car, then is that considered as noob, rice and etc?
Tires are flushed after all.
