hi guys. im about to get a set of kleeman ts 7 for my c300 luxury. i plan on dropping with h&r super sport springs. should i run 19x8.5 all around or can i go 19x10 on back? if yes what tire size without issues? thank you

Matt_Eurojerks

All about the offsets.10 is not huge but with a low offset it will be a pain to not rub if you don't stretch the tires a bit.

mbcoolguy

sorry i forgot to list offset. 19x8.5 et55 19x10 et60. i really hope it fits because i really like the staggered setup.

jimmythegreek

ur gonna have to run spacers w that setup. Im runnin 8.5 up front and 10 out back. 275/30/19 in rear w 40mm offset. they stick out but clear on bottom outs

mbcoolguy

what size spacers do you think ill need? for the back only? what tire sizes do i need for front and back. thank you for the replies.

Matt_Eurojerks

This is a 255-30 on a 10.5 ET 48 (a bit of stretch)

Matt_Eurojerks

Post pics for him...

mbcoolguy

that looks good matt. what springs do you have?

mbcoolguy

maybe i might go 18x8.5 all around dropped on h&r super sport. i wish there are pics of 18s on super sport.

i will post pics 2nite. Matt is the one who helped me with my rim size i was gonna go 9.5 like my last car but I went 10 and it looks sweet. I have a tiny bit of stretch, i woulda tried 285 but I tried the 275s first and they just made it. I can fit a piece of cardboard in between when bottomed, my last rims were 35mm offset 18s and I tried 265 on a 9.5 and it rubbed, so I went 255 and it clared but slightly rubbed the felt inside on bottom out but no probs. I have 235/35/19 w 45mm on front and 275/30/19 on back 40mm and I clear. Your gonna need spacers to clear on the inside and for brakes, and push the rims to the outside, otherwise it wont look good, you want a WIDE stance

mbcoolguy

thanks jimmy for the info. looking forward to seeing your pics.

It's 08red350 car.

10mm up front brings you to final ET 45
15mm in back brings you to final ET 45

I personally think that would look great. If you want to be a bit more conservative you can do 8mm and 10mm

mbcoolguy

matt do you think that will be ok on h&r supersport? and what tire sizes? thanks for the knowledge.

mbcoolguy

i forgot to state that this is for wifey. so im looking for no problems. thanks

Matt_Eurojerks

1) :thumbup: on wifey rolling LOW.
2) I would just go 8mm and 10mm then so it doesn't rub on the outside rear quarter panel
3) 245 up front and 265 on the back

Here is a 245 on a 8.5 ET 48 Front
Rear is 9.5 et50 275 rear

mbcoolguy

thats hot bro! what springs you have? 5mm pads? i love that stance.

mbcoolguy

or should i get h&r sport? im getting a headache.

Matt_Eurojerks

That is not my car. Its KW V3 coilovers though.

mbcoolguy

ok so ive decided to go 18x8.5 et55 all around. what spacers do you think i should go with to for the most aggressive look without issues and what tire size all around. sorry for being so complicated.

Matt_Eurojerks

So I am thinking you need to space the front out to at least the mid 40's (see above pic) that 245 looks good on that wheel with that offset so go with that.
For the rear you have options (different size spacers 8mm, 10mm) on how close you want the tire to come to the rear quarter. With a 8.5 there will be no rubbing issue on the inside, but if you start to get close (using spacers) on the outside of the QP then there might be a small risk of rubbage if you are really low and hook a turn to quick or hit a big dip on the highway. Thus is life with lowered cars. I would do 245 in the rear as well to make it easy.

thanks matt you have been very helpful. so 245 all around with 10mm spacers all around on h&r supersport? seems as if everybody is running staggard on 18s. which would be better for rear? 245 40 or 245 35? thanks

mbcoolguy

ok i think i got it. 18x8.5 et55 all 10mm front 5mm back 245-40-18 all with h&r super sport. so that equals to et45 front et50 rear. sounds good? btw thank you matt.

Matt_Eurojerks

BAM!!! Post pics in the offset thread when you get them with full specs!!!
