If i'm correct those should be nearly flushed. I say do 225/35 fronts and 245/35 on the rears and just max camber.

My next wheels that are getting redone are gonna be 19x9.5 +10 and 19x10.5 +10. Did some calculations and it should be flushed.

Since my previous wheels were x9 +5 and x10 +5.



Should stick out 7.7mm than before.. If I am correct..

You're not correct, the new setup would be 1.35 mm more agressive. Pretty much equal what you have now.

Ah alright thats good enough. I figured since, I'm upgrading to half an inch..

Half inch 12.7mm and since i'm +5mm less aggressive it would of been 7.7mm.

But good to know I got the right amount of poke I want.

Anyways I found a link on VSC that would help a lot of us here.

Your new wheels are 1/2" bigger (12.7mm) but that means only 1/4" bigger on the inside and 1/4" bigger on the outside, (6.35mm)

so with the same offsets you would be 6.35mm more poke, but you have 5mm less offset.

6.35mm - 5mm = 1.35mm more agressive like tiger4life mentioned.


a 1" bigger wheel with same offsets would stick 1/2" inside and 1/2" outside larger.

Are you really gonna redrill REPLICAS? I can only see it become hell of a lot weaker than it already is. Either opt out for the real deal to redrill or run adapters.

tried something new

225/30/20's on 8.5 +15 offset, plenty of room, could even poke out more.

245/30/20s on 10 +13 offset, looks like its about there, could have gone with a 255 tire, but the wheel lip itself is as close to the fender as it will get.

I don't know how 20's work but, you should be sitting pretty flushed. x10 i would do 235, rear 255. But thats the stretch that I like. Depends on your style.

does different brand tires make a difference in the ride? NYC sucks bad so I want tires that can handle.
