You may encounter problems with this offset... I suggest go with a 45+ or higher offset on the front and 50+ offset or higher for the rears. I have 19" inch wheels with a 45 offset on the front paired with 235/35/19 tires and lowered with super sports and with that set up I only have little clearance left between my fender liner and tires.

I want the same size wheels and tires on all four corners. I have been searching and seems almost everyone is running a staggered setup. I don't want my wheels/tires to stick out. I found a pic of one person running 19x8.5 with 235/35 tires it looked good. Is anyone else running the same size on all four corners? I would like some info and pics if possible. Oh I am not lowering the car at any point. Thanks in advanced for your help

I see this is your first post, so welcome and here is a thread I posted a while back. I am not at your 19" wheel size (I value performance over style where they conflict), but check out carrying over the original 17" staggered size tires onto the same size 8" wheels at all four corners. They do not stick out because the offsets are compatible with the original intent. And, I, also, have no plans/desire to lower the car.

Also, if I've interpreted your screen name correctly, thank you for your service!

That looks good. I was looking at that style of wheel. I was on the fence with staying with the 17's for the same reason you did. I think I will ,but I am going to use the same size tire on all four. My dealer installed the same size tires on the OEM wheels when I bought my car. I am a freak when it comes to rotations. I am not a fan of buying new tires every 30,0000-40,000 miles. And you're welcome I am proud to serve.

You can go 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear with Nitto INVOs or you can also do 225/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear with Toyo Proxes

You can do Falken 425 235/30/r19 fronts n SP Max 255/30/r19 rears. The only time it rubs is with a load of 3 people plus I have coilovers.

what do you guys think

19x8.5 ET43 front
19x9.5 ET53 rear

with h&r supersports
and be able to take canyon runs without much rubbing but also agressive for shows,
or is it not possible to have the best of both worlds?

Hey guys first time over here.I have a set of F14s made for an E55 w211 with

245/40/18 in the front and
275/35/18 in the rear

I dont know the offsets but I did an 8.5 in the front and a 9.5 in the rear.

Do you think I could get these to run?

The wheels will be here next week and I dont know the exact offsets.

Just installed the same wheels on my ride. Fronts look really good, the rears on mine poke a little, but I went with a wider tire. You should be good. I got the gunmetal rims on my iridium silver 300. Looks really good to me.

Sorry it took me so long to get these pics posted for 'ya. I've been super busy the past few weeks. Quick pics so they're nothing great, but hopefully they give you an idea of what to expect. The center caps didn't fit on the front w/ the dust caps so I had to modify them, but haven't put them on yet. Got different caps anyway. Going Tuesday to swap out rear tires also. These pics are w/ 275 rears, going to switch to 265's. It's weird, rubbing on stock height but only on the passenger side. Hopefully won't be rubbing anymore.

They will be flush in front and slightly poke in the rear at stock height. On coils they are perfect. Go for it!
