Default Running 19x11 in the rear

For you guys running 19x11 in the rear, what offsets and tire sizes do you have? Also, what mods did you need to make them work?

I had 19x11 before with offsets of ET +38-40. Tires I ran 265/30. No fender work.

Thanks for the input. I'm trying to do 19x11 +30 in the rear, fenders are rolled and bumper tabs relocated. no clearance issues with the struts or inner parts?

I don't have an 11in rear, but I plan on running that later on - hopefully after summer. I plan on moving from a 10.5 +22 to a 11 +25. I have my rears rolled flat, and pulled. The difference would be around ~21/22 offset difference. I think it'd be close to running the equivalent of a 10.5 ET 0. Plan on pulling my fenders more as of right now, but I only rub the liner - running natural camber at -2.5. 245/35-19. Driveways are a no no too. :P

I'm thinking of using 245-35 as the tire size for 19x11 or a federal 235-35

You wont have any problems with a 19x11+30, just make sure ur fenders are rolled. i seen +25 and +22 with just fenders rolled....

Ride height is an important factor too. If you're on 19x10.5 +22 like me tucking almost the entire tire, then you're gonna need a decent pull.

man you guys run on crazy offset, I am planning to go with 20x9.5 25mm offset front and 20x10.5 30mm offset rear, and my rear was rolled, but did not pull, would these specs work without pulling the fender? and I am on f-sport and won't do coils and don't want to go negative camber either,

should be fine without pulling the fenders, just make sure the rear is rolled and u get the right size tires. 225 for the front and 245 for the rear would be my suggestion.

Thanks. You think 235 federal will work with 19x11 since they run wide?

Im gonna be honest i just usually go with the cheapest tires, but i had on venezia crusade hp and nankang without a problem. Federal is considered a better brand than nankang so u'll be fine.

That sounds a bit narrow to me for an 11" wheel. Maybe a 245.

So I noticed folks going even smaller then our 255 stock rears why? I intend to put a 265 or 275 rear on my ride with 19's. Can someone tell me why 245's on such a wide wheel? Is it looks since it seems like there are NO performance advantages (as far as traction) to going less wide...just curious

It's called stretching the tire. Where the wheel stick out past the tire to be flush with the fender /quarter panel.
