looking at some varrstoen es2.....which would be a better fitment without running to much of a stretched tires.
19x8.5 +35
or
18x9.5 +30
or
18x8.5+35

currently running 19x8.5 +40 front is flush but lots of space in the rears...

im thinkg the 18x 9.5 +34 might be a better fit than 19x8.5 +35 overall? looking for squared up setup.
thanks

 

A few questions:

You still plan on running 245s all around? Have you or are you planning on rolling your fenders? Are you willing to run spacers?

With a square setup there's only so much you can do.

 

if i can i would use the same 245s on 19s but i dont think i can with the difference in offset. i dont really want to run spacers.

 

Any plans on rolling your fenders?

Offset has no impact on stretch/fitment of tires onto the wheel. Zero. Offset is merely a measurement of how many millimetres the lug nut holes/CB are positioned away from center of the wheel. BTW, lower offset means more poke (further out of your wheel well).

Let's assume you want to go 19s again, since you want to reuse your tires. Since your previous set was 19x8.5 and so is your potential new set, there will be absolutely zero difference in stretch. The tires will look and feel the same as if they were on your old set of wheels.

Amount of poke depends on a combination of the wheel width and the offset. 8.5" +35 will be flush as you can get on a square set. You MAY need to roll fenders since your tires are fairly wide. Do a measurement with your current setup now and see how far away from the fender lip your tires are (front and back wheels).

Another thing to keep in mind: even though the rears appear more sunk, they will likely rub first because of the fender lip sticking out in the rear. The fronts are mildly rolled from the factory which is why they won't rub before the rears do.

Since your potential new set is 5mm lower in offset than your current set, you will rub if you have less than 5mm of tire-to-fenderlip clearance in your current set.

And to be honest, you can't really achieve a really flush look if you don't at least get a rear fender roll and either go staggered wheels, or add spacers to the rears. 8.5" +35 will be as close as you can get, but you may still rub given the wide tires you're running.

 

Stay with the 19's my 18-9.5-40 offset look to small with the lip with no lip they look soso still small

 

Thanks for the insight! My rear quarterpanel\fender are rolled already. Nothing has been done to my fronts

 

Get the 8.5 et35. fits awesome, but i'd throw like a 10 or 15mm spacer on the rear. fronts fits perfect.

source: i have 18x8.5 et35 with 235/45

 

with an 8.5 can you run 255? Or do you need to go to 9 or 9.5?

 

You can certainly install 255s on an 8.5. However, it'll depend on offset for whether or not they'll fit under your fenders or not. If you're optimizing on minimal weight and maximal tire contact, then try 255s on an 8.5" RPF1 or TE37.
