19x9.5 front?

Joe_E · 12-22-2016, 04:19 AM

Hey guys, I'm currently running VMR v710's, 19x8.5 et35 in the front and 19x9.5 et33 in the rear. I was thinking about getting rid of my fronts and running a square setup with the same specs as I am in the back. I've read around that a 245/35/19 should work without rubbing, however I am pretty low and don't plan on raising the front. So, do you think this will work with no rubbing issues?

Here are some pictures of front ride height

9.5s up front is tough to call, since so few people are doing it. Maybe try to test fit your rears up front to see if there's room? Not sure if there's enough clearance without hitting the strut, but could give you a reference point.

Fitment wise it's really close to the 437Ms that so many are running, and most run 235/35 lowered. At your height it would be tough to stuff any more in there without additional camber and fender work.

Going to try the rears in the front tomorrow, pretty sure it won't work due to the tire being a 265. But am thinking of getting camber plates for the front, guessing a 245/35 tire with around -2 camber in the front would work fine. Let you know how the 265 will work tomorrow

you'll need a spacer up front of at least 7mm to clear the strut (stock strut). You have KWs so you may hit the collar on that even wtih the 7mm spacer. this puts your wheel 27mm further out than stock on the fender side as well.

Did you ever test fit your rears in the front?

No I have not. Don't think it will work without camber plates due to the tire being a 265. Assuming I will need the same camber that I have in the back in the front
