Whats up guys.
Im doing some wheel/tire shopping and curious what you guys are running!
Here’s some info:
14’ 350 f sport RWD
Megan racing coilovers
Enkei Raijins
18 x 8, 245/40/18 (front)
18 x 8.5, 255/35/18 (rear)
front fenders are rolled (heard rears were tough to roll on 3IS)
Had some issues with my front fender cutting into the tires with the 245/40’s (before fender roll) so not sure if i should stay 245/40 or go 235/30
Rear had really quick tire wear from the inside due to the toe. Didnt go to my usual alignment place for this is my guess why they wore out so quickly
Set up im currently thinking:
19x9, 235/30/19 front
19x9.5, 265/35/19 rear
Im looking to have the wheels be flush or maybe even sit a bit outside the fenders. So im curious what offset would be best? Or what overall specs would be best. I can adjust suspension how ever. Plan to raise all around anyway
If you're going with 19x9 and 19x 9.5, then the front you would want a +30 and rear +38.
Really depends on what the manufacturer offers too...might be tough to find a 19x9 +30...unless you are getting custom offsets, then you could probably squeeze out a couple more mm's for a flush look.
If you want to go outside the fender, I guess the question at that point is, when is too far, too far outside the fender?
The rear fenders are factory rolled. If you feel under the edge of the fender you will notice the sheet metal is bent right over flat and it has seam sealer to avoid moisture getting in to cause rust.
Rolling the rear will accomplish two things: breaking the seam sealer which will lead to moisture and rust, and cracking the paint.
You could have the rear fenders pulled and bodyworked at that point to fit a more aggressive offset.
Yeah i heard about the rear fender being that way for actual function so i wasnt planning on rolling or pulling.
Going outside the fenders, the below example is perfect, doesnt have to be exactly that way but going out the fender that way is rad. Would you recommend a wider wheel if offset choices are limited? Not sure how wide you can go before rubbing comes into play. Luckily i have adjustable coils and fronts rolled so some stock issues probably wont come up. Thanks!
