All of that conversation analysis and no helpful insights? What gives? I'm legitimately trying to learn from people more knowledgeable than myself and pick my wheel/tire combo that I'll be saving all summer for.

I made a similar thread when I decided to go single exhaust and chatted with ppl for probably 2-3 months before pulling the trigger on the Stillen Y-Pipe/Greddy Ti-C.

Thank you for your 2 cents, you've helped me zero.

those sizes would stick out if at stock ride height, but with some stretch and a decent drop on coilovers those would fit very well. 19s shouldnt affect mpg unless they are really heavy.

yea just a roll in the rear, stock ride heights sucks and those will not look near as cool w/o a drop. the fender should go over the tire if it was stretched, but you would def need a roll

^^ Are you saying you gained nothing from your thread?

I’m not being sarcastic. I’m asking if you received the information you needed to make a decision.

Well I know I'm not gonna slam it to the ground because I tend to drive places where roads suck and I have a step driveway that I scrape on if I don't go up/down at an angle on tire at a time. I was only planning on dropping about 1" to close up the fender gap.

Knowing this, do you guys recommend I not go so wide? I know I shouldn't do the stretched tire thing because it won't look right if I don't have a nice drop.

If you want a 10/11 combo you want the offset to between 15 and 20. With your chosen width and that offset your lips will still be out past the fender when running normal (less than -2) camber. Also with those offset your be able to run a standard 255/35 front and 275/35 rear, and yes those sizes are nicely stretched on 10 and 11 inch wheels.

Will this still look good even though I won't be slammed?

But will the wheels sticking out past the fender with stretched tires look stupid because of the modest drop?
