ordered my c5fv sdc
19x9.5 et 13 fronts
19x11 et27 rear

was planning on using

245/35/19 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 front

295/30/19 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 rear

Eibach drop, no bbk.

hoping it'll sit flush

thoughts?? probably shoulda done this before I ordered wheels but..

I've got the same rear setup on order and I'm pretty sure you'll be flush or slightly in (I'm running PSS so my rubber will be slightly wider than yours).

Can't help re the front though as I have 265/30s so needed a bigger offset. Forgestar did say ET13 is their recommended offset to clear a BBK... ET16 for OEM brakes...

so whats gonna happen to the fronts? poke too much? even with the 245's? thanks for reply

From what I know the wheels themselves might be flush (or near to it) but you'll have a stretched look on the rubber (245 is a bit small for 9.5" rims)

or what size would I need to match the slight stretch in the rears?

blegh kinda on tilt now lolz

Good question. I think 295 is about the smallest you want to go on an 11" wheel. As for the front, I'd certainly be going bigger but I don't know how big you can go... I would have thought a 265 Hankook would still fit but fine but i don't have any direct experience with those tires...

Thanks for all your input on the matter.
