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!

Rim Width Range for 275/30/19 is 9.5 - 11 in

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

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?

Yup that is about what I paid for mine. Not sure where to get spacers from, my dealer had some lying around that he gave me. I know H&R makes spacers so you can try them. I use the H&R Sports Cup Kit Suspension and love it.

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.
