275 wide tire on 9" wheel will it work and 38 offset
I'm looking to but a set of chrome lm5 Lorinser wheels soon.
My question is will a 275/30/19 tire fit on a 9" wheel? 9Already have brand new tires)
Also the wheels are 38 offset, is this okay?
THE WHEELS ARE STAGGERED 8" FRONT AND 9" REAR.
THANKS GUYS!

I think best is 8.5 front and 10 rear.

For the rear 38 will work but more than likely you are going to want to get spacers. Instead go with a 32-35 rear offset.
I have 32 rear offset with a 5mm spacer which equals to a 27 rear offset.

Thanks for the info Williams, I had to pass on the Weds wheels as they were gonna be close to 5k ![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Anyways the Lorinser wheels I'm looking at are actually 8.5 and 9.5
The offsets are 35 in front and 38 in back. I'll probably look into spacers after I get them on. Where can I get cheap spacers?

You may hav clearance issues when the suspension is decompressed. If you don't run spacers, 265s should work.
I have 275/35/18s with a 9" wheel at 32et and there isn't much clearance between the inside sidewalk and the wheel well. I noticed this when the car was up on jack stands replacing the fuel filter.
