check out one of the last posts he put 43 all around and it looks very good are you sure 34 in front is ok?

amgboyw204

34 or 35 in the front will be ok with a
(245 35 19 tire) The pictures show a 34 offset in the front an a 46 offset in the rear but I would do 43 or 45 in the rear for a flush look with a
(275 30 19 tire )

I got a good deal on a set of rims offset 45 all around , if I put na 10mm spacer on the front it would make my offset 35 is that corect ?

amgboyw204

Yess it will make the wheel 35 "' post some pics when u get everything install

can I just use ET 35 all around with same tire size ? will that look good ?

GerryMac

Are the wheel widths the same as you previously posted, 8.5F and 9.5R?? AMGBOY gave you the best advice ... et 35 front with 245 tire and et 45 rear with 275 tire. 35 offset in the rear will poke outside the wheelwell too much and will likely rub.

You could use 245 tires all around but with an E550 the traction on the rear would suck hence the 275 recommendation by AMGBOY

but you see in this link

I believe he also has a modified suspension.


35 on the rear is going to be close but fine if you're using 275 tires. If you're going 285 (like me) then I'd recommend 45.


I have ET 40 on the front with 255s, and it's fine. But I had the same tires with ET45 and it rubbed the struts. Would have preferred 35 but it wasn't available. Moot, since the 40 works but the 35 would have looked a little more perfect.

seshead

How is this setup?
19 x 8.5 et 35 with 245 tires

Think I can squeeze 285 on the back?
