Wheel/size/offset and tire/size/profile...can be confusing.

[G-858502]

Square 18" setup, 18x9 +32 - Koya Wheels SF13s.
Paired with 245/40R18 tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport 4).

Speedo reads about 5% slow compared with GPS readings.

So this is what I went with .
Curva CFF25
20x9+35 255/35/20
20x10+40 28535/20

I also added the mando ECS10.

Ride is really good. No scrubbing at all

Do you happen to know how much clearance you have from that front wheel/tire to the strut?

 

[lawsjr]

It is close. I was looking at it when I put them on. I will see if I can measure it

 

[AwesumPurson]

Sooo many thread hits searching, hoping an expert can answer directly.

Will a 275/35R19 Proxe 4 Plus on 19.5x9.5 35mm Niche (I think Misano) wheels fit on the rear without sticking out too far? Is the offset too far off? What are the gotchas here are are there ways to make it work? Assume I am completely ignorant and you won't be too far off.

My car is not lowered.

I will also keep searching, finding some close threads. I think I found the same rears but mention of hub centric rings required.

 

[mikegt2]

I have a square set up - 19x9.5+25 and 255/35/19 tires. AWD on Eibach springs. Tight fit in the front, but perfect, not issues.

Any rubbing in front on dips in road ?

 

[turboAWD]

Going through this again.. Looking for a set of track wheels. I have some Enkei TY5s 18x8.5 up front, 18x9.5 rear, both ET35, running 245/285 and those fit just fine. Those TY5s are backordered for months, so I can't really mix-and-match like I was hoping. And a real "racing" wheel like the Rpf1 isn't much more anyway.

So - I was looking at maybe 18x9, ET35 all around, that way I could go square in 245, or staggered 245/275 later, if necessary. Would 18x9.5 also fit all around with ET35? Or ET25? Running 245s or 255s? STOCK springs, Mando + swaybars. May do springs at some point, but would probably do Ark GT-F (the least lowering).

I know my 285s won't fit up front, so I can't do a "test fit" of my 18x9.5 ET35, but I've heard the OEM 255s fit with a 5mm spacer, so if I go ET30/25, is that enough of a move outwards to avoid a problem? I'm initially going with a square setup to be able to rotate tires, but would love the widest wheels possible for the most flexibility with going back to a staggered setup in the future, but still be pretty confident of the fit. I don't really care about looks / poke / etc - these would just be doing on for the weekend to drive to the track / run at the track, drive home, then come off (or maybe install at the track in some cases). Looking at RS4s or Conti Force tires for now.

 

[Aarvix]

I run 255s up front on 20x9 +35, no rubs on Ark GT-F.

He’s talking about 18s (possibly for racing) and the smaller the size, the more the strut interferes. I’m not sure wider than 8.5 at 35 is possible. It’s real tight. If you go bigger diameter, it buys more room.

 

[turboAWD]

Thanks, RM7. I didn't realize that smaller wheels are MORE problematic, but I guess it makes sense if the interference is towards the center. My current 18x8.5 ET35 fits just fine, I'll have to see how much clearance there is.

Getyourwheels seemed to think 18x9 would also fit - it's only 1/2 an inch wider, so about 6mm wider towards the strut - so at worst, a 5mm spacer should probably make it work, assuming I have more than 2mm clearance now?.

According to this: JDM - KIA - Kia Stinger - Page 1 - Road Racing Wheels, 18x9.5 ET38/40 fits the Stinger, but if I understand correctly, the larger the +offset, the further inwards the wheel moves? I have sent them an email, but it seems that would be the wrong way to adjust the offset for such a wide wheel?

(slight roundoffs below)
Although, I guess, offset is relative to wheel width? 8.5 = 216 mm, so halfway is 108 mm. ET35 means (if I understand correctly), 143 mm from the hub towards the inside, 73 mm outwards from the hub.

18x9 = 228.6, halfway is 114. So again, ET35 is 149 towards the inside, 79 outside. If 143 is the limit, then ET30 would be 144 / 84, or basically ok? Or 5mm spacer, basically same result?
18x9.5 = 241.3, halfway is 120.5. ET35 is 155.5 towards the inside, 85.5 outside. ET25 would be 145.5, 95.5? Or ET30 + 5mm spacer? ET40, based on on roadracewheels would be insane, with 160.5 inside, 80 outside. I guess it would be somewhat "flush", but I don't care about flush, I want it to fit / work and not be pushing the limits too far.

I will have to look at my own setup - 18x8.5 ET35 in the front has no issues, but it limits the larger tire sizes if I decide in the future that I want to go staggered again. 18x9 lets me run 245 square or 245/275, which is a "matching" staggered setup. Not thinking of running 255s in the front at this point - neither of the tires I'm interested in have a 255 in 18 or 19. Just 245 and 275.

Thanks, RM7. I didn't realize that smaller wheels are MORE problematic, but I guess it makes sense if the interference is towards the center. My current 18x8.5 ET35 fits just fine, I'll have to see how much clearance there is.

I looked in there with one of those reflecting mirrors and the clearance is very tight, like maybe 5mm from the edge of the rim to the edge of the strut. As you go higher, like the tire itself, it's further up and out of the way. The strut angles towards the vehicle, so the higher you go, the less interference there is and the more space you get. At 8.5, 35 offset works, but I saw almost no one was running 18 8.5s up front on the excel spreadsheet, no one was running an 8.5 squared setup, there was a previous one that got lined out for some reason. This setup, 18x18.5 squared with 255s works on my car, but it would not push the front any wider or more offset unless there was some good hard evidence the combo would fit.

As promised.

Front 20x9+35mm 235x35
Rear 20x10+40mm 275x30

I know this is an old post and it doesn't look like Tobstertx3 has been on here a while...but what wheels are these? Anyone know? Thanks!

Well finally pulled the trigger and got the VOSSEN HF5 I've wanted since day one and couldn't be more happier with the look.

20 x 9 +38
20 x 10 x +45
245/35/20
275/30/20

 

[BrianSTINGER2022]

So this is what I went with .
Curva CFF25
20x9+35 255/35/20
20x10+40 28535/20

I also added the mando ECS10.

Ride is really good. No scrubbing at all

How much did the Mando ECS10 improve the ride on your set up? when you have it on comfort is it much smoother? I'm lowered on ARK lowering springs I really dont want to go 20's but man that looks so good . I would like to see how thick i can get the side walls on a 255 front and 285 rear set up on 19's.

275/30/20

Those were the wheels I wanted but decided to go with my Braelin BR14s because it was like half the price and weighs the same. Btw, why did you do 275/30/20 instead of 285/30/20?

 

[2022 StingerGuy]

Hi guys, haven't got my stinger yet but expecting it in February of 2022 hopefully. I need some help with opinions on how this setup would fit.

I really want to ball out and get the Work Emotion ZR10 and the specs would be 19x9.5 +30 square setup. I emailed the company asking questions but was referred back to the spec sheet which didn't answer my questions. The "middle" concave is what I'm wondering about; would it clear the brakes, will I have rubbing issues in the front/rear, turning radius and so on. I've looked at the google doc on square setups and it seems like it would work, but every wheel is different from different manufactures. I will be running stock suspension for a bit, but eventually would like to get lowering springs or some upgrade of some sort. Any help would be great.

This is the spec sheet if anyone could help me out. https://www.workwheelsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/EMOTION-ZR10-Spec-Sheet.pdf

Thanks

19x9.5 + 30 will rub the front struts. You’ll need to add a 5mm spacer to clear it. I’ve seen a few people run 9.5” wide up front with an offset of +20 - +25

And with putting spacers I’d be looking at more poke which I think I’d be having some already anyway. Not ideal. Do you think they would clear the brake callipers?

At some point poking will clear the caliper but run afoul of the fender.
