I'm about to order a set of wheels for the wagon. I've got a friend that is a master fender roller, he can pull too if necessary, but I'd prefer not to pull to the point of getting a whack looking fender. I'm ordering 19's and considering going 9" front and 11" back (This wheel manufacturer only does whole inch increments). I prefer a meaty tire setup vs a stretched look and I'd like to get AT LEAST a 285 if not a 295 under the car (I'm thinking: 255/35R19 Front & 295/30R19 Rear Bridgestone Pole Positions).

So my question is this, can it work? If so, what offset would be right? I've seen 305's on a 20" wheel. So why wouldn't this work? Any and all advice is appreciated.

FYI: Treadwidth of that tire is 10.2 inches.

From what I understand, we have enough room on the inboard side of the wheel well. Someone has 12" wheels. My 10.5" wheels are arriving today and I will be running 305s. I had the fenders rolled as a precautionary measure.

FWIW, LM7 was running 315's in the rear. He had a 42 offset and then shaved an extra 3mm from the inner part of the wheel hub.

Why not 10" rear, 295, offset low to mid 40mm. 295 on 11" will look stretched I think. You don't want your muscle wagon looking "hellastupid"

So...Brain is melting trying to figure this out. So essentially that made is wheel a +39 offset or a +45?

I definitely do NOT want stretch. But 295 on an 11" wheel have so little stretch it won't even be noticeable. Actually it is the top end of the suggested wheel width for the tire:

So unlike the "stance crowd" the tire will look pretty flush with the wheel. If I was "stretching" I'd be putting a 255 on a 11" wheel.

I definitely agree with you though about the no stance look. I also don't like a "buldge" look either.

A 45 offset. He's got a thread somewhere on here with all the details.

Thanks for the input thus far. So I'm thinking 19x11 +45

Need4Speed

its doable

I would do a 19x11 + 43 just because

Go~Rilla

+44 to split the difference?

Need4Speed

lmao sure

what wheels you going to pick up?

I'm running widened stock (replica) wheels on the rear. Originally 18x9 et35. Added 1" (actual 7/8") to the inside, making the wheel 18x10 et46(approx) I'm running a 285/35 with no rubbing issues, even with suspension collapsed. I have about 1/2" clearance inside to shock dust boot, and same towards the front inner fender liner. Your +45 sounds about right. Better err on the side of positive offset, it's easy to add a small spacer..3mm or so and still keep the wheel hubcentric. Harder to machine the wheel for less offset if you had to. I plan on running 295's when the 285's wear out.

Good call! Thanks!

295s on a 11" wheel will have a slight stretch to it, nothing major though. I was running a 325 on a 11" wheel on the back of my vette and it gave it that meaty look I was going for. I think a 295/305 would be perfect, specially if your willing to roll the fender a bit. Personally I'd do the 305.

All day. Run 19x9 +30, 19x11 +37 and get a decent roll.

You'll thank me when you fit them.

+37? Really? With 295's? if so i like that offset way better
