I'm looking at getting new rims this spring. Thinking of going with avante guard m590 19 inches. Now iv done research on et sizes on the faq page however I'm still unsure and need your help. The wheel sites say an et of 45 is recommended for the front wheels. However there is also an et 35 available in the same rim size for the rims I want. My question is do you think 19x8.5 et 35 with 235 tire will fit even potentially lowered. I'm not lowered yet haven't decided. I don't want rubbing. Now my understanding is the stock rim is et45 but it looks sunk to me. I want it to be even with front fender. It looks like the Renn rs51 rims that seem popular on this forum they do 19x8.5 et35. I also have seen them run 245 setup with those rims. Is et 35 same from rim to rim cause the wheel sites say it won't fit. What do you guys think??

It will work, but will be aggressive. Just be cautious when turning, hitting dips while the wheels are angled out could prove disastrous for a fender.

Anyone running this setup problem free??

My current wheel is an 19x8.5 ET+44 with a 235/35/19 MPSS that I have been running with a 10mm spacer. I have no problem running this setup and think I could even go for a 12mm spacer. I think you will be fine running an ET of +35 and a 235 tire. My car is lowered on KW V3 and I do rub the plastic inner fender liner on big dips but so far I have never rubber the metal fender. You may even get away with a 245 section width tire and should be safe even lowered. I am lowered about an inch and I would have to raise the front a little to run a 245 I think and perhaps dial in the camber/caster settings a bit.

I did run a 245 on these wheels with a 10 mm spacer but had to go back to a 235 or run a 5mm spacer when I was lowered on H&R springs due too the lack of height adjustability with the springs.
