Default The wheel size calculator question, please help

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if I should worry when I see the following message when comparing wheels.

"Package will stick out 22 mm (0.9'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset. "

I'm comparing 19x10 ET38 , 275/30-19 to OEM Wheels 18x8 ET 45 , 245/40-18.

Thanks

you will have no problems with that. Just doing a quick measure on my car you have a good 1" or better to play with if you dont mod the fender. That will look good.

are you lowered? that will also allow more room. If you wait ~3days I am putting 20mm spacers on the rears with the OEM rims for winter. I can let you know how that looks, my car is lowered ~2", if that is of help.

post a pic of the rims you are considering

10+38 with 275, it's close but probably ok. again, it will be close. if anything, just take off the black trim around the fender and you should be good

Thanks for all responses.

Not lowered yet, but I'm planning on getting Tein CST in Spring. So, I just want to be sure that I will not rub....
