19x8.5 +35 Front
19x9.5 +33 Rear

225/35-19 Front

Rear is dropped til no finger gap and front probably has a little more than 2 credit cards gap. Will I rub? :P

Thank you for your help!
aesthetically, neither look "nice".

as i've posted before, the offsets for 18x8 is close if not exactly the same as OEM 18's (+40).

19x8 +48 will be so far in that it would "look" worse than 18x8 +40. that, and i question if 19x8 +40 clears your brake calipers.

you should be fine.

265/30-19 wouldn't be my first choice w/ your rear wheel specs, but i don't see how that tire size would cause clearance issues.

Hmm, I see. I just wanted something a little bigger from stock, but what do you recommend for the rears? :P

235/30 is higher than 245/30? Some people say it's higher.

false.

sidewall height = treadwidth x ( aspect ratio / 100)

so for 235/30-20, sidewall height would be 70.5 mm.

and for 245/30-20, sidewall height would be 73.5 mm.

however, note that actual treadwidth and sidewall height will slightly differ between manufacturers despite being spec'd at the same size.

My wheels are 19 x 8.5 +34 front and 19 x 9.5 +35 rear. I'm planning to run 235/35/19 up front and 265/30/19 in the rear. Right now my car is at a moderate drop, just 2 finger gap all around, but might lower to a finger gap later on. Since I use my car as a daily driver, do you think this is a good setup? Any fender mods required?

Okay I think i am going to take the risk and go for the 18x8+40. But now i have been told I should drop the car. I am looking at the Eibach Pro Kit which drops 1 inch in the front and 0.8 in the rear. This should be fine and it should not rub?

no fender mods needed, though to be 100% sure, consider 225/35-19 + 255/35-19 until you are absolutely sure you have the clearance to run your proposed sizes.

that will fit with rolling your fenders all around. itll be a tad tight up front, but the rear should fit like a 18x10.5+34 which is kinda aggressive on an F but nothing to worry about. your all good.

I appreciate the advice. You should open a tip jar lol. Can't be afraid to rub a little.

any time, haha no need for tips, i like answering the questions... unless its been asked in the last few pages not pointed towards you haha



and just in case any one chimes in on the F fitment. the fenders are a bit wider up front which will fit 18x9.5+22 just fine, fender liners might rub. rear has an extra 1/2" on each side of the car making it have 12mm less clearance than the standard ISx50's
