Default Re: Aftermarket Wheel Sizes - Suggestions Appreciated

My question is will I run into any problems when mounting them on the front? The 9.5" width worries me. I love the style of wheel and would be so happy if I can get this set to work. Any suggestions? I would also be grateful if other members could let me know what aftermarket wheel set up they use and tire sizes. Thanks a million
A 19x9.5 +35 will fit in the rear no problem. I am running a much more aggressive width/offset than that in the rear without any problems, although I should note that my rear fenders are rolled and I have some minor camber as a result of how low my car.

As for a 19x9.5 +35 up front.......I'm not to sure about that. I have an 18x8.5 +19 (post spacers) up front and it fits fine, but when I typed in the wheel setup your inquiring about on WillTheyFit.com it looks like it'll sit rather close to the control arm. Again, I should note that I am running some camber up front as well though which changes how things fit. Personally I wouldn't run anything more aggressive than a 9" wide wheel up front. I am actually planning to do an 18x9 front / 19x11 rear for my next setup. Our rear fenders can accomodate ridiculously wide/aggressive setups but sadly our front fenders are rather shallow and can't accomodate a super aggressive wheel.

Hope this link helps for reference. I went ahead and did a 245/35 tire for you on WillTheyFit.com as I would assume you're not looking to run a stretched tire like I am.
