Unhappy

I tried to check the wheel on the car but looks like it really flushed i attached a pic...bad quality i know but just had a mobile handy at that time

My wheel is 19 X 9.5 +19 so i thought it should be ok but look at the pics and please comment

and second issue was the wheels was touching the brake calipers before tightening the nuts? so would i need to put some spacers as well?

^^^

if the wheels are touching the calipers and it isnt even torqued down yet there is no way that they will fit. put in a 5-10mm spacer and see what happens.

unless you mount tires and lower the car there isn't a real way to see if the wheels will clear your fenders. HOWEVER, a 19x9.5 +19 in the front should be fine depending on what tires you're planning on running.

To be sure, you did take off that little bolt that's on the front rotor right? You néed to take this off and you'll see it on the rotor as it's not the wheel stud,..

I install 3mm spacer and my wheels along with 255/35/19 tires.

here how it looks




From front it looks like this, is this too much out? keep in mind tires are 255 and i will go for 245. Car will be lowered in the future so looks like enough room for an inch drop



What do you guys think will I be able to get away with a drop? so tires sticking out too much

I don't think it looks good when the wheels stick out past the fenders. If you lower the car the wheels will tuck in. Sf winning are great looking wheels.

Do you guys feel that witn ebiach and slightly negative camber -1.8 something it will tuck inside the fenders

I dont want to sell the wheel acutally but this much sticking out is also not looking nice

Quick question won't taking that front bolt off the rotors throw the rotors off balance?
