Linea Corse LC818
Front 19x8.5 +30; 235/35
Rear 19x10 +38; 255/265

Dropped on either KSport coils or BCRacing. Haven't decided yet.

Will this fit after rolling my fenders? Just dropping to cover tire gap. Should I try and go 265 in the back??? IDK IDK IDK ughh

Need some help from the experts.
Im running 19x8.5 +23 up front and Im lowering to no gap and cut and rolled fenders. Can I run a set of SPC joints to straighten up my camber or will it push them too close to the fender?

Will this work?
Found someone selling 19" LFA Replica rims. The rims are 19x8.5 42+ front and 19x9.5 46+ rear.
He also has tires which are 235/35/19 fronts and 295/30/19 rears. Will this work? Not sure how i feel about non staggered rims on 295/30 setup but if it will work and wont look odd i might as well get the tires along with the rims since the seller is giving me a package deal.

thanks for you help.

does it rub in the rear or sticking out with this offset ? (no)
anybody have pictures with this offset in the rear? (search is your best friend)
in the front no problem i think but in the rear i dont know (holy try 265/30-19. you really don't need to run that wide in the rear, and even with a high-offset wheel you will need fender modifications. slightly-narrower tires can help you avoid that.)
anybody who know the answer please leave a comment
pictures are great to

225/35 front, 245/35 rear.
You'll need to relocate those bumper/fender tabs in the back though. And if your roll and pull was good enough, you'll be fine with that depending how low you go. At no finger gap you won't need that camber kit. But if you start tucking you might need to add some camber cause the clearance will be close.

bumper tab mod is the following:

1. remove bolt that holds fender tab (formed sheetmetal) and bumper tab (plastic) together
2. remove plastic insert tab
3. shave down fender and bumper tab
4. apply self-tapping metal screw from the bottom up. the closer to the corner, the better. you won't need anything longer than a 1/2"-long screw.

i would get the fenders rolled flat.

and if done properly, the fenders should be "naturally" pulled.

alternatively, run the 245's in the rear. that'll save you some money for 225's up front.

unless you're running higher spring rates, (anything higher than 12 kg/mm and 8 kg/mm in the front and the rear, respectively), i would raise the ride height up a bit so your wheels/tires don't do a number on the fenders. if it looks like you can run tucked without clearance issues, then do so.

just remember that, just because nothing is touching while sitting static, doesn't mean nothing will touch when moving.

I have a set wheels that are in these specs and I'm going to be on coils before I have my wheels on, but may I ask what's the best setup tires with these ?

20x9 + 35 and 20x10.5 + 45. 5x114.3

I was planning to do Achilles ATR with 235/30/20 and 275/30/20. Is this a good setup tires and would I would be rubbing like crazy? I'm trying to have it lower to cover gaps or just cover a little bit of the tires. Thank you

Edit: Would I also need any cambers or anything else that will be needed?

Are you lowered? Because even at 19x8.5 +35 upfront with 235/35/19 tires, I'm still rubbing on sharp turns (and I'm on Tein H-Techs). The rear's should be fine with 275/30/19 at that offset.

Default help with tires

Hey Guy,


I am getting some new wheel this weekend. I need you guy expert on tires with my offset.. I will be running 18x8.5 and 18x10 with 25 offset all around. I was told to run 225/35/18 and 255/35/18 for the tires size. I want to confirm this tires setup would be perfect for me before I went ahead and order the tires on TiredRack. Would I have any rubbing issue ? Current drop on MEGAN Coilover and already roll my fender. Does the tires size, I will be running considered stretch ?

Thank you in advance guy !!!1

^ will fit, shouldn't rub.

but in the event you do have clearance issues...

raise your 2is up w/ the wheels and tires, and then incrementally go lower until you are satisfied w/ your ride height and/or can diagnose what's rubbing.
