No rubbing in the front with 235 40? What are the wheels specs, offset?
Hopefully yours is RWD or taller tires in the back could potentially mess up the tranny on AWD
They look good

Is that 255/40 on the front axle? A 10mm spacer would push the wheel away from the control arm, making it 19x8.5 +35. Then again it could rub against fender tabs or something else. Try 235/40 instead?

Bummer! FWIW as you push it in the corners, anticipate that tire to shift 20 to 30mm up by the ball joint.
A previous car I had, had a solid 26mm between it 235/40R18 and it would whisper rub the steering knuckle leaving a clean spot on both sides.

That castle nut and pin would raise hell on a tire.

Solid points. Too close for comfort if you ask me.

no spacers yet, will look into 15mm adapters or extend studs and do 10mm. Got new tires I have 235/40 will install soon

The rear can take it like a champ! It will also shift under side loading, make sure there is nothing sharp there.

I hope you get the fronts to fit without rubbing in the size you want.

Installed! Close fit! But fits only rubs on front fender liners while turning and bumps, will make some adjustments.

Little bit extra sidewall always looks great on these cars. So what tire sizes did you end up with?
Are you sure these are not 20s"? lol
