Most people run on a 8.5" wide wheel up front and a 10" in the rear. So not many will be able to tell you if it will work or not so we need to do some converting...

25mm = 1"

10" - 8.5" = 1.5" x 25mm = 37.5mm difference / 2 (to split it on inner and outter lip of wheel) = 18.75mm. So you then take your offset of 35mm and then subtract 18.75mm which gets you 16.25mm.

The 10" wide front wheel with a 35mm offset would be equal to a 8.5" wide wheel with a 16.25mm offset.

I'm running a 8.5" wide wheel on the front with a 20mm offset on a 245/35, I had to by hand roll the inner lip of the fender slightly up to prevent rubbing, but if I was on a 225/30 I'd have no rubbing at all. So as long as you can try to stretch like a 235/30 on there you should be fine and it will work on the front.

So if you do the same math for your 11" wide rear wheel with a 32mm offset it would be to equal to how far a 10" wide wheel with a 19.5mm offset would stick out.

For my rear setup I'm running 25mm on a 10" wide wheel, I had to fully shave my fenders to get it to work. So with your rear setup you will be sticking out 5mm more then me. You should be fine, but will just have to adjust the camber a little too help it tuck.

Confused? just read it again you should understand

Here is my rear for reference on a 255/30 10" wide with 25mm offset...

It will take a little work. Most likely a roll in the front and a shave in the back maybe with a slight pull and you should be good to go.

SHiZNiLTi is on point! And here's my set-up: 19x9 +19 wrapped in 225/40/19 and 19x10 +20 255/35/19, rolled fronts, fully shaved rear fenders and slight stretched tires. Went with 40 & 35 seres for more comfort as the 35 & 30 series was too harsh for my taste and I don't even daily drive the whip. Here are some pics to help you out a bit more.

Hey Nick, are you looking at some Work LS wheels?

You can fit those wheels easily with your fender mods.

Anything is possible.

The front wheels will be very close to the suspension upright.

It won't be a slam dunk, and tire size and brand selection will be the key.

Im running 19x9 +22 and 19x10 +22 wheels now. I have my front fenders rolled and my rear fenders shaved already.

Hey Chris those are the ones im looking at exactly. lol

SocalSC4, thats the exact problem concerning me. Im afraid the wheels will hit my struts. When I air my car the wheels even camber in more and I think its gonna hit my struts. Wat tires and size would u suggest for these specs?

thanks again for all the help

I would do 235/35 on the 10 and 245/35 or 255/35 on the 11. A 19x10 +35 should be the same as a 19x9 +23 so it should fit the same. If it doesn't clear the strut just add a 10-15mm spacer.
