19x9 +15 Fitment

Iyzmi · 02-22-2017, 07:22 AM

I'm looking at buying some European spec AG M359s which have a slightly more aggressive front offset than the US version. These are +15 while US are +18 and OEM are +31.

Wondering if a 19x9 +15 wheel on stock suspension will poke past the fender or require any camber adjustment to look flush?

Also, will I be able to run a 255/35/19 front tire or will I only be able to fit 245/35 with such an aggressive offset? I've got my ESS s/c intake filter behind the wheel liner so that may reduce the already limited space I have to work with by a bit.

I think you are going to rub the fender liner (especially if you are lowered) with et15 and 255/35.

I think you're right, I've seen some people mention rubbing with the +18 359s on 255/35 so these would be even more likely to rub. I'm ok with sticking to 245/35 tires as long as these wheels won't look too aggressive with stock suspension.

That's not entirely true. Depends on how low you are running 265/30 on +18 with no rubbing. I just ordered those exact specs and saw nothing about rubbing. This is also on a 9.5 not a 9

Not the same.

On a 19x9 255/35/19, the tire isn't stretched. It actually bulges, and it's taller.

265/30/19 is a physically shorter tire than 255/35/19, or even 245/35/19.

What rubs, is the fender liner, and that's due to the height of the tire.

i'm running 19x9.5 et12 with 255/35/19 Michelin PSS at -2 deg camber. Only slight rubbing on large dips.
