Have you test fit them? Are they hitting suspension components? What size tires are on them?

ok here's the idea I havent got them yet the front is 19x7.5 Im debating on going to an 8.5 in the rear either in a 19 or 20 the front will fit fine its the rear im worried about and what size is everyone running Im assumming going 19x7.5 I would do 215/35/19 19x8.5 rear 225/35/19 and 20 im not sure of a size ?

Why go with a wider wheel in the back if you're only running 215 tires? And given the option... you might as well match the fronts so you can do some tire rotations.

In the back, fender clearance is going to depend on what other mods you've done. With a 7.5" wheel, 215 tire, and +45 offset, I'll bet they'd fit on most cars here. If you've done a big brake upgrade or something that increases your track a little, then you may run into issues and have to roll your fenders.

I figured going 215 front 225 rear if I did the 19 x 8.5 rear the side wall would look a lot smaller on the rear would it not? I am currently running lower spring only mod to the rear soon to have rear disc conversion if I get to it by spring

I was actually going to do 19x8.5 and I was told that it was only possibly if i really brought my fenders out, I have widebody and my fenders are rolled and they said it still probably wouldn't work. If you have air ride I won't go with 8.5 but maybe 8.0 and thats just because I have them on now. Good Luck

I never said you were wrong I just wanted to make sure you knew I was on springs I figured the air bag size would be different then the strut housing on a spring



Re: 19x8.5" I need help

i was on springs before the air... and had even less room between the wheel and strut

Hey exesive, what are the specs on your wheels and tires? Do you have the same in the front? I would like to get 8" wheels.
