Default Work Kiwami Setup??

Looking to get some wheels finally. Currently dropped on bc racing coilovers. Can anyone with Work Kiwami's on 19's recommend a safe staggered set up that is rub free with decent offset? Gotta daily the car so not looking for super aggressive set ups that take a lot of work or hassle to get right. I know theres a lot of specs on the wheel forums but there is 10000000000000 of them to look through and it just makes it that much more confusing. Just hoping someone has found the general flush to fender without rubbing specs.

Thanks

That’s pretty much your standard setup to guarantee no issues.
Of course depending on how low you are will really depend on final figment.
Worst case a slight adjustment to the coil overs would probably solve any minor issues.

Hi there,
I'm running the following setup without any rubs.

Front: ET35 8.5J tire:235 35 19 NEXEN
Rear: ET38 9.5J tire: 255 35 19 NEXEN

I've tested the rub issues with 2 adults rear seat and fully loaded trunk. Rub FREE!

That setup:
Front: ET35 8.5J tire:235 35 19 NEXEN
Rear: ET38 9.5J tire: 255 35 19 NEXEN

Won't work if the car is AWD though.

Oo. Forgot to mention I am AWD. Does the specs from the earlier post work with awd? I think it's just tire specs that are diff. 35 to a 30.

You have to make sure the external diameter stays the same.

Stock setup has a 0,24% difference front to back. Don't know what the max tolerance is, but stay close to that.

you would need to go 225/35-19 and 265/30-19, which is a 0,23% difference.

Be careful as 35 at the rear is actually giving you more speed, i had that rear setup and was going 7 km above speedometer and received a lot of radar tickets that's why i suggested 30 at the rear.

Looking good by the way!

So to clarify I should go with this as AWD?

-Fronts 19x8.5 +35 with tires 225/35/19.
-Rear 19x9.5 +38 with tires 265/30/19.
