not that i can use one, wish i could fit 295s, on 9.5s, and still clear with in-spec camber.

Nice, Ton! Love those new wheels. You just need a BBK now. Too stretched though. Put some 325s on there!

Wheel specs are Advan RS-D 19x9 +25f and 19x10 +25r. Tires are 225/45/19f and 245/40/19r so they are stretched, but still thick. That's why I asked if THICK = FAT?

Yeah I tried to fit the 275/35/19 in the rear but it the fenders were eating the tires even with -4.5 camber. I didn't want to pull the fenders so I decided to stretch instead. With the 245s I am getting away with -2.3 camber.

Sorry buddy. Good looking car but I run a 245/40 on my front 19x9.5 and it's too small, imo. I think the standard will start with a 255/285 set-up.

Yeah I figured you wouldn't think so Robert. I had every intention of running the 245/40 in the front but since the offset is too low the 275s would not work in the back without -5 camber and/or a fender pull. So I ended up moving the front to the back and buying new fronts.

Maybe next time around I can fulfill the requirements!

No worries Tony still have a beautiful car. Those offsets are really aggressive for the sedan. I did a lot of research before buying my wheels and think I should've went with a 19x9.0 and a bit more offset. But hey... We're being the test mules for those that prefer a fat tire. Next time I'm home hopefully we'll meet.

Yeah I fit the 245/40 on the front 19x9 +25 with only a minor issue of when I turned the wheel all the way and went up a steep incline the fender would hit the tire because how low my car is. If I were to raise it a little it wouldn't have been an issue.

Edit: We definitely will have to meet up and introduce our kids! Haha

I believe the only way to pull it off is getting 4 front rims, the rear is way too aggressive from what I've read.
