Test fit 19x9.5 up front

So I got rid of my wheels today do while I was taking them off I test fit the rears up front to get an idea of how the new ones would look fitment wise. Keep in mind these are 19x9.5 et25 because of the spacers

Looks dopeee... I did the same thing when I went back to winter mode.. 9.5 +35 .. Only thing I wish I did was take it out for a spin... But passed cause it poked like yours without a camber kit.. How big was ur spacer?? I'm lookin to go 9.5 all around for this spring

The wheels are originally 9.5 et 40 but there are 15 mm spacers up front which bought it down to et 25. And thats a 225/35 on there. Those are the mini D2s projectors that there was a thread on here for a few months ago. I used the vw GTI look-a-like shrouds. My new wheels are 19x9.5 et 35 all around so once I get the camber kits I'll be ready to throw on the wheels

you notice any clearance issues up front?? (enough room to run camber without hitting anything) the one thing i forgot to check when i threw my 9.5s up front ... also you try riding around with them up front?

Nope no spacer I'm the back but I'm sure I could have pulled it off with camber. Then again I wasn't that low either

I wanted to drive around so bad but with it poking that much I was afraid to. No Clearence issues from what I could see. I forgot the members name on here with the WDP 2g. I think he's from Hawaii, but id I remember correctly he's running 19x9.5 et35 BBS LM reps all the way around and he's cambered in upfront and slammed. I don't think he's had any issues

Actually I'm pretty sure +30 will have more poke.. If I'm not mistaken.. You'll get 5mm extra clearence on the inside, and an extra 5mm on outside(lip)

Or perhaps 3/4 of inch is okay too, this is where the experimenting comes to play.

That shouldn't be. The higher the offset, the less poke you will get. Which is why stock wheels at +55 are hella sunk.
