y everyone !
so im about to pick up some eurolines next week and i have some fittment questions !
the fronts are 19x9 +12 and im going to run a 225/35 stretch and the rears are going to be 19x10 +5 i believe with a custom 5 inchh lip.
i was aiming to go flush but i thought the offset fittment for flush was like around 19-22.
anyways, what am i looking at for fender work here?
anyone run this setup?
i have no camber arms so im running stock 2gs300 camber which i was told can run up to -5 degrees !

need help with some fitment q's...

i got mixed answers from a few vendors so just wanted to see if anyone had 1st hand experience. was going to go for 20's but decided on getting 19's with our nasty roads here in ny. im not planning on any fender mods as im only looking for a conservative look.

19.9.5 +22 front 245/35-19
19.10.5 +22 rear 275/35-19

would these work without any fender mods. im on a eibach/kyb drop (2 finger gap).

That will not fit without fender mods. Also, your tire setup will get you 2 different diameters for front and rear.

without serious fender mods. those tires are way too big. that front tire size you said, you'll need for the rear.

In another thread above, i mentioned about a squared stance with these wheels and was wondering do i have to major fender mods. To pull this off what size tires(also what brand tires you suggest that can stretch mildly) can I use? I would be using Figs RCA's for the front (cuz of LS capliers), I guess it would require couple of degrees of camber for the front and rear. Reason I was going with this idea because I can rotate tires. All I really want to ride with just a shave of the fenders. I'm guessing cuz the offset on these wheels are high, i can possibly get away with it but I feel much comfortable if i can get detailed professional answers from you guys before I make a purchase. Thanks for your future assitance and sorry for the thread jacking!

thats why i wanted to ask you guys first hand . these are the recommendations vendors are giving me for the setups stating theyll fit fine w/out fender mods.

thanks again for your help.

Varrstoen gave me an estimate earlier and recommended 19x9.5 +22 front and rear for the 1.1.2 & 2.2.2. stating theyll be fine w.out the fender mods. would 245/35-19 tires work all around or should i drop it to 235 in the front and keep the 245 in the rear? im on a eibach/kyb drop (2 finger gap). dont really want to roll the fenders since the paints pretty new still and dont want to risk damaging/cracking it.

with a spring set up you may not be running enough camber to run that size up front. when I had just put my 9.5 +22 up front I was only tucking the tread at -3.2 degrees of camber and I might have been able to get away with the 225/35 without a roll but I highly doubt it. but than again you have wheel gap so I don't see what you would rub

I really would like to see what mods & fender work would be needed when you get that on there.
