Need help fitting 295 on 19x10 in front, what offset wheel?

cossie1600 · 03-23-2012, 12:51 AM

Hey guys

I need to fit a 285/295 35 19 R comp on the FRONT of the car. I will try it on the 9", but I am not sure if it will fit since these are wider than my 285 35 19 RE-11. I am tempted to buy two 19x10 wheels to fit them on. Anyone know what offset I need to run without it rubbing?

My 9.5 inch wide are a +46 offset. I need a 5mm spacer to run the 295s and rub on the control arm.

That is the same as a 10 +35. My Forgestar 18x10s are a +34, but I don't have the wider tires on them yet. However, they have 1 more mm inner clearance so its a good size for 295s

Thanks

So 18x9.5 with 45 offset wont work? I need 40mm offset for 18x9.5?

I run 18x10.5+30 up front. I'm running 295s currently but have space to go wider.

cossie1600 · 03-23-2012, 11:32 AM

wow really. Is your suspension stock?

cossie1600 · 03-23-2012, 11:40 AM

I mounted the stock 10s with 285 on the front and it looked like they were going to hit the fender

jr1 · 03-23-2012, 11:50 AM

No, I have JRZs but no where near as much camber as I need. There's not a ton of room at the fender, but plenty of room left in the actual wheel well. I've never had any rubbing issues but do have 1000# springs up front so rarely compress them much.

No, the tire will rub the control arm with a 45

I have 19x9.5 +22 in the front.

I tried a 275/30/19 and it fit with no trouble but looked too small of diameter, sort of looked funny.

I tried a 275/35/19 up there, and it looked rediculously tall and rubbed like crazy on the smallest bumps.

Now I have a 265/35/19 and they look proper but still rub the fender liners on stiff bumps.

Car is lowered on H&R springs with stock shocks.

I know this doesnt answer your question, but just relaying what offset/width combo definitely will NOT fit a 295 in the front lol. I wish that I had originally purchased a less aggressive front offset so that I could use spacers to dial in my tire fit... but unfortunately I am +22 and have no way to bring them back in a little bit to fit the tires I want to run.

cossie1600 · 03-23-2012, 03:10 PM

I ran a 285/30/18 on 9.5 35mm offset before. Depending on where my credit card takes me, I will most likely have a set of 18x9.5 35mm with 275/35/18. As much as I want to run 18x10, I honestly don't know how safe it would be. I don't have camber plates or anything to allow myself to tug the wheel in more.

daisuke149 · 03-23-2012, 04:54 PM

I run a 275 30 20 on a 20x10 + 27 wheel up front. Lowered about .5" and OEM camber arms.

I would run a 285 if they made a 285 of this tire.

So if you are lowered more, and or run more camber, around a +27 should work fine. I havnt rubbed at all. If you are gonna run OEM camber and not really lower it more than me, about a +30 would work. Some tires are wider than other makes though so ima just say your looking at around a +27 to around a +33 ish.

if you have your OEM sport wheels, stick the back wheel in the front. its a 19x10 + 30. that would probably be perfect for the job.

cossie1600 · 03-23-2012, 05:35 PM

I do have one more back wheel, but are you sure it won't rub? The tire looks like it sticks out by 5-10mm past the fender when I lower the jack.
