has anyone tried to run 19x10 +32 offset?

FYAH TL

Yes, and bigger than 19. I've actually tried 20x10 +32 and if your rear fender is rolled and your lowered on coilovers it will clear with ease. 19x10 offset 32 is not super aggressive it will work.

what size tire do you recommend?

FYAH TL

^ They are lots of tire option with the setup you're going with but since you're going for the vip look then 265X35X19 in yokohama s drive or toyo t1r will look good and have a slight stretch on 19x10 +32.

hum.. 255?

FYAH TL

265 35 19 overall tire diameter is 26.5 . Perfect height tire for your setup....what 255 are you planning on going with?

if it's 255 40 19 you're going with that can work too because that tire height diameter is 27. But it's a taller tire than 265 35.

255/35/19 will be an okay size?

FYAH TL

It will be okay but personally i won't run that size tire. Here's why...255 35 19 tire height is 26. Your stock tire height is like 26.6. So your speedo reading will be like 2.4% too fast. What that means for example is when you're driving at say 60 MPH your car is actually traveling at 58.5 MPH.

With 255 35 19 tire height of a 26. It's a short tire compare to stock height. By going with that size tire you're creating more tire to fender gap and the 4g already have a big gap. So now you'll even have a bigger wheel to fender gap than what you currently have and if you're looking to tuck tires you'll have to do such an extreme lowering on coils and am not sure if you will be able to even get a one finger gap between tire and fender because you went with such a short tire.

265 35 19 is the way to go in your situation. It's just about the same tire height as stock tires and you'll have a good height to work with for the look your are seeking. Anything is possible just giving you my .

no matter what i am going to be doing 2.4% faster due to my upgrade in size of rim and tire height.

so i dont really think 255 and 265 will change my speedo reading at all.

anyways, i found this.. its 245/35/19 on 19x10



the guy said it was Falken ST115

im also already going to run 245 in the front as well just to make it a square set of tires on the car.

since mines is FWD i want to all the tires the same size width.

any disadvantages of running a slightly smaller tire in the rear?


also..

255/35/19







im trying to be this low

FYAH TL

Ok. The reason why the ride in the pic is putting that size tire 245 35 19 on a 19x10 is because he's running an aggressive setup that needs his tires stretched to clear his fenders. Wheel offsets plays a big factor in the calculation.

For example If you said that you were going with 19x10 offset like a 22 then yes you'll need a small tire stretched for it to clear fenders.
But with the setup you are going with 19x10 +32 is not that aggressive therefore it's going to look like you are stretching tires for no reason. Meaning it would clear fenders easily without a stretched tire.
Now since your offset is not aggressive enough spacers can be added to make your offset lower and you can then pull off the stretch look you want.

Coilovers or airbags can get you that low as the car in the pic above. But the TEIN coilovers for the 4G are so conservative with how low you can go. Going with such a short tire of 245 35 19 with a tire height of 25.8 when you are currently on stock tires that's like 26.7.
Do you realize how short of a tire that is compare to stock. If you were on bags then you can pull it off. But with TEIN coilovers you will still have wheel to fender gap because of the 245 35 19 being such a short tire for the 4G. Every car is different...but with the 4G you want tires that has tire height as close as possible to 26.6/26.7 .

Now am going to start charging you by the hour for my time. lol.

Another thing to consider is that not all tires of the same size by different manufactures have the same rolling diameter. You need to look at the rolling diameter vs. just the overall diameter off the wheel. Most manufactures will have this info in their fitment guilds. Look up what the stock tire's rolling diameter is and try and match the plus size fitment as close as possible. So 255 or 265, you'll know what your +/- deviations are.

Also, a 255/35/19 tire on a 10" wheel is a bit small even though 10" is the max width of a wheel most tire companies will recommend. If you don't have to stretch then a 19X9.5" is a better fitment or move up to a 265. You want the sidewalls to be as flush to the wheel as possible.

The pics you provided are examples of bad fitments. I do understand that people stretch smaller tires on a wide wheel to clear aggressive drops. I think these applications are unsafe and you're reducing the life span of your tires. Also, if you want the stretch look with an aggressive offeset I would suggest just getting a lower offset. Why put spacers on a set of wheels if you can just get the right offset in the first place? My

^ concur.

potmilkz

thanks guys now i understand.

thanks for the info fyah! do you take cc? lol

FYAH TL

^ Your welcome and it will be cash only Sir. LMAO. Can't wait to see the results it should look sweeeet .

sorry to revive an old thread, but has anyone tried going with 19x10 or 10.5, and have actual pictures? Ive been trying to find TLs on 19 with deep concave but I just can't find anything.

I see many BMWs with these size wheels, just wondering how the TLs look.

I'm about to put 19x9 / 19x10, all +24 , 245/40R19 all around and coilovers on in the next week or so. Wheels are BMW Style 95. I'll post pictures as soon as it's on.

that would be awesome man. can't wait to check it out.
