Scrapped forgestar F14 idea and decided to get wedssport SA-55m. Specs are:

18x9+36
18x10+36

I have brand new 225/40 and 255/40 hankook v12. Lowered on F-sport springs. Will I need any fender work? Will wheels stick out past fenders much? Is the tire stretch safe for daily driving?

Thanks

shouldn't need fender work.

wheels won't stick out past fenders much.

tires are barely being stretched for daily driving, but don't expect upright sidewalls.

it's just numbers, though it helps to understand spatial relationships.

and/or go through multiple sets of wheels and tires.

you can try 265/35-19, but that may be TOO tall.
I want a tall sidewall but dont want to have a stretched look... Do you think a 255-35 would be my best option then ? Im guessin the 245 will have more of the stretched look right ?

Are the 19" Varrstoen 2.2.2 TPMS compatible?

And this is what I was thinking:

19x9.5 +22 offset
19x10.5 +22 offset

front: 225/35/19
rear: 245/35/19

Will those fit? Or should I go with 235 for rear?

Thanks.

245/35-19 is starting to stretch on a 10"-wide wheel, but still somewhat within safe limits.

go with 255's, though the sidewalls still won't be as square.

if the rears have a light pull, then yes.

see bolded.

btw, 235 on a 10.5"-wide wheel is borderline unsafe for daily driving. you'd have to find a tire shop that can handle rubberbanding 235's on 10.5" wheels, as most shops simply won't.

and contact varrstoen themseves to find out if TPMS sensors work or not, though my bet is on that they do.

Okay, I just ordered a set of staggered 19's:

19x8.5 et 35, & 19x10 et 40

I'm lowered on f sports and don't want to do any fender or wheel well mods. After reading a few posts, I'm wondering if I could run a more aggressive setup? Something like:

19x8.5 et 25, & 19x10 et 35

Im pretty sure I could switch up the order, but again I don't want to roll my fenders or anything like that. Any help is appreciated.

if you don't want to roll your fenders, see bolded for emphasis.

Sorry, typo.. I meant 235 for the FRONT. Or is 225 okay for daily driving?
