So you've bought this but not put it on your car yet? That will liely take some work to get it to fit. You will need to run stretched tires and add some camber (the alignment shop can increase your rear camber, in the front someone will need to "pull your pins" unless you get camber plates.
My wheels are the same size but with 7 and 10 mm higher offsets front and rear (listed below in my signature). I finally ended up doing the rear brake hub mod to get my rears to fit better. Also Michelin tires tend to run fuller on the side than tires like Falkens, Toyos, or Nittos. I'd put the wheels on your car and look at it, cautiously drive it if possible, to help you decide. If you have to buy rear tires without putting it on, etc I'd buy one of the brands above in the size you said, 255/30/19. If you go crazy and decide to buy Michelins to match the fronts, buy 245/30/19. Honestly a 245 Michelin will not look much more stretched than a 255 Falken on a 9.5 inch wheel. I currently have a 245 Michelin PSS tire on a 10inch wide rear wheel on my Porsche.

9.5J ET35 will NOT be a fun fit with anywhere near appropriate sized rubber unless you do the hub conversion and even then you’ll have to run a narrower than ideal tire.
Also, 8.5J ET35 will also be tough with 235 fronts without considerable extra camber. I wish people would read this board before spending that kinda money on wheels. |

Hi thanks for the info
The front tires were given to me there like new. I dont mind spending money I really liked the 19" and I'm not using them on a track. If I do go the the track one day I will use the stock 18" rims. ok from what I understand the the front tires should be 225 35 19" and the rears 245 35 19" if I did the hub conversion for the rears would I be able to use 255? |

Yes. Or 245/30/19 rears if you can find that. And get the pins pulled or get front camber plates and add rear camber, then I think it will fit OK as long as on the stock suspension and no extra weight in the car. Maybe. Keep us updated. Getting a good deal, loving a wheel, etc is a reason to consider trying this.

Hi I added a pic of the front tires doesn't look like its going to rub but I'm going to change them to 225 35 19" but not a Michelin power sport something with less side wall the michelins have a bulky side square side wall.
The rear tires and rim is a different story they are 265 30-19 I have about an inch and a half clearance on the inside to the strut and a inch from quarters to the tire definitely going to do the wheel hub to get the extra 10 mil and put 255 30 19 in with a less side wall the camber looks good the wheels are really straight but I won't know until I put it on a machine and get an alignment done. |

Again, I could be wrong but I would be super hesitant to run that setup without knowing for sure it’ll clear during loading. |

Keep in mind that the fender lip is the lesser issue and that you're likely to contact and destroy the bumper tab where it meets the leading edge of the fender. That point is the limiting factor and can't be modified much.

Wow, nice wheels) Are you going to lower a car? And can you tell if these tires are good for rainy weather? I am leaving in a region with lots of rain during the year. So I need to buy tires that will be a good fit for the wet road.
