Guys I know this has been covered probably a thousand times. However I've spent the last 4hrs playing with on-line calculators, searching the forum, looking at pictures, etc...

I'm looking to purchase a set of HRE P43SC wheels. I know I want a 19x9.5 & 19x11. I know I want to run a 255/35 & 285/35 tire. My first concern is making sure they clear my 14" StopTech and of course suspension components.

So far I've came up with the following offsets. Please give constructive info/help. THANKS! :thumb up:

Front & Rear Offsets:
Set 1) +22 & +25
Set 2) +20 & +18
Set 3) +15 & +25

Based on the black Z in the picture below I like Set 3. But concern is how close the wheel/tire is to the fender. Thanks for the input!!!

 

HRE will give you the correct offsets for the caliper clearance, they have all that info in their database

tire 'sizes' are sort of meaningless as they can vary widely in physical dimension. a 285/35 from one brand can be up to 1/2 inch wider than another brand

rolling the rear quarter panels is relatively easy and inexpensive and none of your suggested sizes are particularly crazy

 

For 19's my rule of thumb is:
Front: +15 to +20
Rear: +20 to +25

 

Thanks for the info! rear panels are rolled already.

 

thanks for the background pic *drool*

 

 

HRE recommend 19x9.5 +32 & 19x11 +34.

 

I would ask them to do +22 and +24. You're going to get way too many different responses here. +32 and +34 are a bit too conservative.

 

+1. 19x11 +24 is similar to a 19x10.5 +18. However, I would personally go with 19x9.5 +17 (or something close). Can you get a 19x10 +23 for the front?

 

Spoke with my vendor, who spoke with HRE engineering and assured that this will fit and be best offsets for that wheel and tire sizes.
