Will it rub? From what I've read so far (which took like 6 hours lol), front seem OK. Back seem mighty close. Any other issues when running these wheels? Would a different tire size help? Seems like there are not many in this size range.
Thanks in advance!
Here is the wheel I'm refering to in the custom finish of Matte black with white flange and matte black bolts
My C63 and E55... the C63 has a set of spare E55 wheels on it temporarily
The front will work fine, the rear will rub with 275 +46 offset... try 255 or 265 & you will be fine on H&R.
Which is fine if you like the stretched look and the compromises it brings. Personal style taste over substance. My tyre experts see my 275s as minimum for my 10' rears.
I'm running 19x10 +50 with 275/30/19 PSS lowered on H&R springs with thicker rear pads (17mm) no problem even with passengers in the rear. I will occasionally rub with passengers over big bumps though.
So it all depends on ur rubbing tolerance. Go +55 if u want 0 rubbing , go +50 if u want flushness &/or rarely carry rear passengers.

There's a set of Forgestar CF10s that I'm looking at. They're +52 offset, but I reckon I could take 3MM off the backpad and make them +55 if I really wanted them to.
Does the 19x10 +55 clear the inner strut and inner fender liner? Will it rub from the inside?
My rubbing tolerance is 0, haha. On a car that I plan on driving hard, I want 0 rubbing, otherwise it irks me, lmao.

It is difficult to pin it down exactly when you are running tolerances this tight. I am running 19 x 10 ET +52 with MPSS 265/30/19 on my 2012 with KWV3 lowered all the way (~.75") and it rubs the fender joiner every now and then. Just a snick but a rub all the same and no rear passengers. I ran the same wheels on my 2010 lowered on H&R springs (~.75") and was able to run MPSS 275/30/19. I think you should be OK on the inner fender at ET+55. Keep an eye on the lines running to the fuel tank as they protrude the most into the inner fender area (right rear ahead of the axle).
Mort, I find it strange that u can run the same wheels with 275 on ur pre-FL car no problem.. But u get slight rubbing with the same wheels on 265 with ur FL car.
