The only difference will be a wider/deeper wheel on a 10.5. Otherwise the face spacing will be the same.

Does anyone know if you're able to run a 305/30/20 in the rear on our cars? I have the bumper bracket clipped down and relocated the rear bolt for extra clearance.

My current 285's look somewhat stretched.

Currently running a +39 rear offset

I'm on 295s w/ a 10" +45 and have about 3mm to the inner fender. I'm at zero gap and -1.1 camber. Be a tough fit w/ 305s on a +39 rim unless you plan on running heavy camber and even then probably need a fender pull.
If you had +48 offset I think you could run 305s without excess camber or pulling.

Would you happen to have any pics of your setup in the rear?

Thanks for the input.

Gorgeous... absolutely clean. I do know the Coupes allow you to run a little more aggressive setup than the Sedans. Maybe a 305 is possible on a Coupe? I'll have to measure the gap difference. I'm only running about -1.8 negative camber which is right inside spec.

With the right offset 305s are definitely possible on a coupe or sedan, although the coupe with it's wider fender span allows for a bit more wiggle room. I know there's a couple sedan guys on 305s and even more coupes.

Guys I'm reposting this from the fitment thread, as the setups here are what I'm going for:

I was going to get Forgestars, but after doing some Googling (very poor customer service / bad quality control).

For other wheels, If I ran something with slighty more aggressive offsets, such as +3X F / +3X R, would I have any fitment / rubbing issues? The only lowering I MAY do is with Eibachs. However, I will be on stock for awhile.

Wheel/Tire sizes will be 19X8.5 F / 19X9.5 or 10" rear. Tire sizes would be 245/45/19 & 275/40/19 in the back.

Coupe or sedan? For a sedan on stock or mild drop I'd go +35 to +40 front and +35 to +40 (on the 9.5") to +40 to +45 (on the 10") in rear. Coupe is best posted by one of the coupe guys

Coupe. Sorry I should have clarified.

I think this is the wheel setup I'm going for:

http://www.modbargains.com/avant-gar...niti-lexus.htm

19X8.5 F +35
19X9.5 R +40

Tire sizes are 245/45/19 F & 275/40/19 R.

Since the offsets are so close to stock I think I'm good even with the extra width in the rear. Thoughts? Thanks again everyone.
