Hey guys. In wheel selection hell right now, and trying to figure out if this is possible at all, and if it is, what it will take to do.

I have been looking at going to 19" wheels as I like the look, and for summer and for Club Clash drag racing I'm thinking of keeping drag radials on the rear for the season. I did this last year with 265/40/18 MT ET IIs and didn't have any issues.

So enter the 305/35/19 Mickey Thompson - significantly bigger than the 265/40/18s I currently have.

I could stick with 18"... and that would likely be better for the track... But I'm trying to figure out what offsets, fender rolling, etc. would be necessary to run the 19" MT. If there were a 275 or 285 MT this would be a lot easier!

I have searched but haven't found anything - please chime in if you have ideas or experience. Thanks!

I'm 99% sure they will not fit, unless you use spacers and get creative with offsets. I ran 285 and it's like 2mm from rubbing the inner fender liners.

Only way would be to roll/pull rear fender. I just installed 20x10.5 wheels 42mm offset I had to heat small portion of inner fender to push in aabout 1mm for a 275 to fit. And they just miss the fender lip. Very flush, looks great. But would take some doing to get a big tire back there.

Plus you can get the $100 off $400 that someone just posted.

^ I've got a set of those cept on the stock 18's. There great tires for the price. Mickey Thompson is night and day grip wise though.

This is the guy you need to talk to. So far the only one I've heard of running 315's...
