That's my car. thanks.

I just installed this fat setup on 19's and must say it rides great. I have s0-3's. I had the standard 19's and it wasn't the smoothest ride, then had my 16's on while i waited for my new tires....now with the fat setup it rides very smooth compared to the 16's. I used to feel cracks in the road but not it's much better. The front tires are reinforced. They really fills in the wheel well. I have almost no gap.

It does raise the car and I'm planning on a body kit or front lip.

 

I have a "fat setup" but mine are 19x9 in front and 19x10 in back w/offset +37. I have l-tuned shocks and springs and have no rubbing whatsoever. I thought I would have to roll the fender but I didn't even have to do that.!
Heres a thread w/ pics:

What are the tire sizes on your car? Is the offset +37 for both front and back?

 

Your car looks FABULOUS. What drop have you got? Coilovers?

 

Thanks. It's L-Sportline about 1.75 all around. 1 finger gap in the back and almost 2 fingers in the front.

 

I have 19x9 +38 front, 19x10 +45 rear and coilover. For the fat setup, I'm going to put 245/40/19 at front. Can I put 285/35/19 at rear without rubbing or just play it safe with 275/35/19? TIA

 

+45 in the back is very conservative, you have plenty of room. so i don't think 285 would be a problem in the back at all

 

Thanks, H.

 

Henry - I have +42 in back with 10" rims - do you think I could fit 285 without rubbing?

 

you might want to trim the fender tab a little bit. that tab is stupid, like 1/2" wide. if you can take away part of it i am sure you would be fine. i have +43 and 10 running 275 and i still have some space

 

Thanks. What do you mean by fender 'tab' - do you mean the black plastic trim around the fender opening?

 

yup, there are 4 screws holding them. take them off and the tab falls off. then shave the whole fender (there is another piece of metal behind the black tab)

 

Funny how car cultures from opposite side of the world are so different from one another.

Over here, people try to fit the widest possible rims to the skinniest possible tires (JunctionGS's car for example) and mine will be like that too very soon.

I am fitting up a new wheel (don't think they exist in the US) and in the back it will be 19x10 +24 offset with 275/30 tires. Can we say skinny?

Of coz it's not as crazy as fitting a 225/35 tires on a 10" wide rims....

 

275 is within spec for 10, i have that and so do a lot of people, so i think that's ok. most jdm vip cars they put 235 on 10. 275 is just normal

but +24? have fun with all the rubbing
