I meant tire width 265 vs 255 and 235 vs 225.. Sorry for the confusion

C450

I have read through most of this forum and have realized that for the front ideally 30-35 off set for fronts and 45-50 for the rear is the way to go so if anybody could assist me in this set up I would greatly appreciate it since I want a second opinion before jumping the gun on purchase.

19x8.5 et 30 wrapped in 245/35/19 pilot sport 4s Front
19x9.5 et 45 wrapped in 285/30/19 pilot sport 4s rear

19x9 et 25 wrapped in 245/35/19 pilot sport 4s Front
19x10 et 45 wrapped in 285/30/19 pilot sport 4s rear

thanks in advance for your help!

'19 C43 and TBSS

Again, since I'm still waiting on my '19.... Tire thoughts.

Anyone have any negative thoughts about 225/40 19's front and rear on stock wheels? Tire manufacturers recommended wheel width fit both stock wheel rims as they suggest 7.5 to 9 inches.

I've gone back and forth on which way I'd like to go several times! Just wish the car would get here so it'd force my hand and I could stop thinking about it.

Thanks!

Can anyone confirm if the C63 forged multispoke will fit?

"The C43 brakes are tricky, you need to run a slightly aggressive offset to clear the brake. We've sucessfully cleared the brake by running 19x8.5 +28 19x9.5 +48. It fits flush if lowered ."....Is this correct? This would be on 235/40 and 265/35 tires....

No. 8.5 needs to be et32>x>et28 depending on tire for stock height. Can go more aggressive if lowered.

I think I might have asked before, but what are the specs on your wheels? Are you lowered?

Still thinking about options... A square snow setup now since I really like stock 19's for summer!

Is 18x8 42mm offset front and rear with 225/45 close enough to stock sizing to be plug and play? Online offset calc's show minimal difference.

Thanks again!

Well hell. I thought I was understanding the offset and everything needed to pick some out. I guess I'm just not getting it.

Thanks for the fast reply sir! I'll keep looking.

pretty close to comfortably say yes. I ran 19x8 et30 with a 245 and scrubbed material off the inner shoulder. So, you'd have less tire bulge but less inner clearance.

Thanks again! I think I'll hold out then until I find a 18x8 et30 to try and be a little more cautious.
