rubensans

"19x8.5 front (235/35/19) stag. setup, 19x9.5 rear (265/30/19)"

What offsets are you running? Any fender mod's.

Thanks.

ctC230K

advans u gonna reply to this?

advans

ayyy bro, I was on vacation there but i'm back to NY and am going to the SI meet on friday! hope ta see you there!

I think the offsets are 37mm, no fender mods, slight rubbing with a full load of people and stuff in the trunk.

rubensans

Ok, thanks; Brabus is supplying me 30 front 34 rear....

Best Regards.

advans

hmm 30 fronts, 34 rears... what tires you think about using? I think with a drop, theres only a few choices you can do (with a 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 setup) with a curved sidewall

Nitto555
Falken Fk452
Toyo Proxes

and I think Yokohama has a ADVAN-S tire that has a curved sidewall

Blake P

Nitto 555's are pretty ****ty tires. I'd go with Toyo T1R's, but 255/30/19 rears.

Blake P

If those are the group buy wheels that FrankW sold way back when, I think the front offset is 32ET. Basically, they use the same offsets as TSW Bremma, if I'm not mistaken.

general UHP i think its called??? great tires and cheap also

Blake P

Cheap, yes. Great, no. Rounded sidewall, not really. Overall, fine "budget" tires, but not something I'd consider unless you're strapped for cash.

TruTaing

Advans, how much space do you have between the front wheel and the top of the fender?

Im surprised you dont rub at all up front being that low. I rub every now and then when I hit big dips. When i had no space between the tire and the wheel well, I rubbed alot against the suspension and Im running ET 28 up front...

What kinda tires do you have?

rubensans

I was thinking in GoodYear F1 GDS3 or Michelin PS2.

There will be very little drop. Something similar to stock.

Thanks.

Blake P

You can't go wrong with either of those tire choices!

advans

I have a 1.3 drop up front and a 1.5 drop in the rear. theres really not "too much" space left in the front when i'm riding the 19s.

I'm currently riding on my 17" CLK55 5-spoke AMG wheels, with Yoko YK-520 as my winter setup. My 19" setup is Falken FK451s, but the rears will soon need to be replaced by 452s.
