Default Will 9.5" front and 10.5 rears fit???

I wish the search worked. I'm looking at Volk Sf-Winnings 19*9.5 fronts and 19*10.5 rears. I have Eibachs installed, and need reassurance that these will fit without rubbing. 9.5 seems a little wide for the front. Is anybody else running with these sizes. Thanks.

The Challenge's I sell for the Z are a 8.5 up front and 9.5 in rear. I've seen plenty of people fit the 9.5 and 10.5 in there, but depending on what you might do with the car in the future with brakes, suspension, body, etc, we would rather go a little more conservative on the width unless you are absolutely dead set on that wheel size. Do you know what offset they are by any chance?

The eibachs are a 1 inch drop correct? I think you would need to roll the fenders with that setup.

Check out the Unofficial Rim Size/Offset thread in this section. It shows pictures of cars with their rim sizes and offsets. You don't have to roll a 10.5 with the right offset and no lowering.

Nope. You will have to roll the rear fender flanges a little if your car is lowered and your running a 10.5" rear wheel. It's not that difficult really.

I called 350zonlinestore, and Brian is positive that they will fit without rolling the fenders. He said the offsets are 19f and 29r, with 245/35 and 275/35 tires. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I have Eibach springs with 19 x 10.5 wheel +43 offset. Tires are 275/35/19. No fender modification necessary. No rub.

Do you, by any chance, have a 1/2" clearance on the fender side? I have 10.5's with a 30 offset and was wondering if I have to roll.

Wow. Not that I don't believe you but everyone I've ran into who's running a 10.5" rear with 22 offset on a 1" or lower drop has had a rubbing problem, including myself. Is the factory trimming the flanges on '04MY or something?

Just roll the fenders!!! (or shave em) itll look 10times better than just sinking the wheels into the fenderwells.

P.S. i run 18x10 +5 front and rear with like 3" of drop or so. only the rear is rolled, and i wanna shove a 5mm spacer in there to bring the tire snug up to the fender. (however the tires are 225/40 and 245/40 )

er .. It's like this TopicsII is a Drift Car Racer from Signal Racing..

His car has NO 3.5 VQ35DE - It has a SR20DET ( about 475 Hp )

So much lighter - that you must exclude his Car - And his post..

The man has no fear on the track...

And a hell of a nice guy.

Cheers Amy -
