Need help, quick question on rim fitment
I am planning on purchasing a set of wheels in the upcoming weeks, but I would to get some feedback from this forum before I shell out the money for it. I am no expert on wheel and tire fitments so any help would be greatly appreciated. The specs are as follows:
Rims
Front: 19x8.5 35 offset
Rear: 19x9.5 35 offset
Tires
Front: 215-35-19 or 225-35-19
Rear: 215-35-19 or 225-35-19
Will these fit properly and will I have any problems with rubbing etc. at my current ride height? I would like to stay at my current ride height, and I was considering shaving or rolling the fenders if necessary. Thanks!

you want to run those tires? they stretch quite a bit.
this is what i think. your offsets aren't that aggressive at all, with those tires (stretched) you don't have to touch the fenders, and it looks kind of weird. people run stretch tires mainly because the offsets are aggressive and even rolling/shaving fenders aren't enough to clear
my 2 cents

Do you want to be tucked? or do you want to be flush with the fenders (assuming you trim the rears)....
Really boils down to this. I dont care for stretched tires. I should have my set up in ~ 1 month. Tires I have in my garage are 255/30-20 & 295/25-30....just waiting on the rims to come in. I will post pics once I have them on.

don't go 18s, if so might as well just stick with stock wheels
on the tires, it really depends on what you want. how aggressive do you want to go? fender mods? and if so, are you willing to stretch tires to get more aggressive offsets? they are all questions you should decide for yourself. you shouldn't stretch tires just to

OK let's hold on here for a while (before we go fender modding, stretching tires..etc...etc). As per your initial Rims/Tires spec.
Rims
Front: 19x8.5 35 offset
Rear: 19x9.5 35 offset
Tires
Front: 215-35-19 or 225-35-19
Rear: 215-35-19 or 225-35-19
I noticed that youi have a stagerred wheel setup. IMO, going same tire sizes on all 4s would not look right.
Yes, you are ok with the front of 245/35/19. (245/35/19 is ideal for an 8.5 wheel width)
You have to go wider on the rears. 255 at least, BUT with a profile ratio of 30s.

Thanks for the response
Ok, I think im getting the hang of these wheel sizes etc. Thanks for all your responses so far! So will my wheels still be tucked at 245/35 and 275/30?
I apologize for the endless questions, I just wanna get a grip on this and make a wise investment
