Can I run a 19x10.5" all the way around? I just want to know. If my math is right i may be able to stuff a 10.5" 24mm offset under the fenders with a little pull. Will they rub the control arms?

will hit the uprights on the inner edge unless you space like mad and do some serious arch work....I would imagine

How do you know if I haven't specified my camber correction and tire specifications? 19x10 20 offset seems to be fine. A 10.5 with a 24mm offset would bring the wheel in about 7mm. Maybe run just a 10.5 with 20 offset?

9.5 fit fine, you can go 10 at a push, i think 10.5 wont fit or will look daft and the car will handle badly

Why would the car handle badly? I might be able to see that justification in wet weather but in dry?

the wider the wheel the more prone it is to tramlining. i find a big difference in the way my car is when i switch between the 8.5 std wheels and the 9.5 bimotos. looks good on the wide rims but feels much better with the std ones

Oh, I don't care about tramlining. Turn in benifits on a wider tire outweigh the negative effects. I won't be daily driving it either.

be sure to get some pics up with the new wheels on.

I had 10 x 19" ET 10 wheels with 265/30 tires, and those were very good to drive! Only bad thing was that those were a bit too wide, and touched a wheel arch.

10.5 will come out past the arch especially on the back because theres no more room to get it inboard. 265 tyres would have been really stretched on a 10 in rim

In my opinion, it wasn't strecthed too much. It didn't look like a "german style stretch". Here is a photo of it.

^^ That looks good. A little pull of the fender and 2.5 deg camber would make for a nice flush fitment.

So right now, I know a 19x10 +20 offset fits inside the fender on aggresive camber. On neutral camber it fits pretty flush.

for ever 1" I add to the wheel width I'm effectively adding 7mm outer and inner. I know that a 19x10 20mm offset fits without rubbing the inner control arms. So if I run a 19x10.5 17mm et I'll be adding 3.5mm inside and outside. Which puts me about 4.5mm further into the fender than okkim. I'd like to run 275/30 rear if I can get away with it but I'm worried about rubbing the control arm. I figure if I do a mild fender pull and camber in about 2.5 deg it'll fit nice and flush.

My suspension is really rigid at 725 lb front 785 lb rear so I beleive I can lower it quite a bit to get the lip of the wheel nice and close to the fender.

Anyways those are my thoughts, if anyone knows more about this or has taken measurement from their 10" wheel front and rear please share!

figured I'd see if I can get some more interst in this thread.
Here's my research so far:
19x10 10 et




19x10 15 et

19x10 +20 not sure of camber correction:





19x10 +15 not sure of camber

^^ I know those wheels look massive from this angle.. Almost look like 20's or something lol but from this angle they look small


19x10 +20 but he says he has really aggresive camber so I'm guessing 2.5-3 deg


I'm assuming in this picture the camber was toned back a bit...
