I'm ordering my first set of wheels (custom forged) and have done some research but would like for someone to review the specs before I place an order. I have a TL-S so brembo clearance up front is important. I will be rolling fenders if I need to.

Front Setup:

235-35-19 tires

19x8.5 +32-40 - what would be best? I know many people run spacers but I'd rather not if I don't have to since I can order the wheels to any setup. It seems everyone runs spacers to get a flush stance but is there another reason to do so?

Will I need to stretch tires?

Rear Setup:

245-35-19, maybe 255 if I can do so

19x9.5 +22-30 - I'd like to get at least a 1.5-2" lip. Will I need to stretch tires?

Drop:

~1.5" on coilovers

If possible, I'd like a carefree setup without any camber issues. Feel free to share any other advice.

TIA,
Aman

I created my post after research and looking through 13 pages of the new tire/wheel specs thread that is stickied on top. I just looked at page 14 and noticed post #545 of Ch33sE1's VS-XX setup and all I can say is WOW. I should've started with the most recent page and worked backwards.

So I have to revise my original specs. I just want to be careful and not get stuck with a setup that will eat up tires or else I'll have to get a camber kit.

if your looking for something simple go with the +32 fronts and +30 rears .... if you wana push the stance then run the more aggressive offsets and then run a narrower tire

if i ran the 19"x8.5" +32 up front i would run a 225/35/19 tire...

if you run the 19"x9.5" +22 rear then i would run a 235/35/19 rear

it all depends on what look you want to go with

Thanks for the replies...murph, I just saw your wheels on the sticky thread, I see you're redefining aggressive

Will the 225 tire on a 8.5 wheel give it too much of a stretched look? I don't mind a little but am not a fan of when the rim just sticks out too far beyond the tire - just doesn't look right to me. Same question applies to rear 235 on a 9.5?

OK, here are the revised specs:

Front:

19x8.5 +28, I'll email wheel manufacturer to see how much of a lip this will give me. I'm hoping for at least a 1-1.25" lip. This will clear brembos without a spacer and while it will not be flush, it should be close.

225-35-19, depending on stretch question above.

Rear:

19x9.5 +28, if I understand correctly, this should give me a 1" larger lip than the fronts.

235-35-19, also depending on stretch question above. The 235 on a 9.5 sounds like a larger stretch but I'm not sure.

Will this setup prevent any toe or camber problems? I'm only planning on lowering ~1.5". While a staggered setup, I'm trying to achieve a semi-aggressive setup but nothing that's gonna get me into tire wear issues.
