Fronts would be tight too, but much more manageable.
Thanks. Maybe 9" Front and 10.5" Rear, and tires the standard 245/275. I really like that staggered look and step lips though.

Hi guys, im planning to get some rims

It is STR 610

20x9 5-114.3 +30 73.1 bore

20x10.5 5-114.3 +30 73.1 bore



I already got my Tein H-tech springs but didn't install them yet.

I dont want any rub so and im not planning to roll the fender.
I do need spacers to clear the brake calipers. 30 front and 20 or 25 rear.

what size tire would make this work?? I know not alot of people have tein h tech spring but it is higher than s tech and lower than eibach.

or would it be better to go with 19s?

19x8.5 5-114.3 +35 73.1 bore
19x9.5 5-114.3 +40 73.1 bore

I think you may be confusing the middle number on the tire size. The 35 on a 285/35/19 will be the same height as a 40 on a 245/40/19. If you run a 245/35/19 in front and a 285/35/19 rear your front tire will be almost an inch shorter.

That would be much easier all around.

Are you dead set on those wheels? I'd look for a set that wouldn't require such deep spacers to clear the brakes, your offsets will be in the net+5 to +15 range which is very aggressive and lowered on a mild drop your wheels will be poking out a lot.
There should be some good choices in the +25 to +30 offset ranges that already will clear the brakes.

Not confusing it, just noticed what I saw. I'll see if I can dig up pics.

However, facts are facts so what about a 275/35/19 in the rear compared to the 245/35/19 in the front.

No problem, it's sometimes hard to banter back & forth w/ this tire stuff but sounds like we're on the same page (or close, lol)
That setup would be~
Diameter difference:
0.83" (3.11%) The rear would be a bit over 3/4" taller FWIW.

That's something you'd have to verify w/ the wheel vendor, it depends on offset, backspacing, barrel clearance etc. Here's a front & rear template that you can use if the vendor asks for one.

As far as brake clearance they should have more room and not needing spacers would be a nice bonus.

I have an ideal set up in mind, thanks to OB G who is currently running 9+25 F/10+25 R with 245/275 tires.

My question is would this set up be a match for the rear? 9.5 + 20 same size tires. Basically subtract .5 in wheel width and +.5 in wheel offset?

Thanks.

Hey guys,

I have a 2010 S Sedan and have a staggered wheel setup getting ready to ship to me of 20x9 +35 and 20x10.5 +45 and I was trying to figure out what size spacers I should run to get a good fitment without rubbing. I'll be running Hankook V12 245/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the rear. I'll be on coilovers and camber arms front and rear, but don't want a lot of camber. I just want it to look nice and semi aggressive

From pictures I've seen of other similar setups, the 10.5 +45 with 285's look decently flush in the rear. I was only thinking about a 3mm-5mm spacer if needed, but for the front it seems like there will probably be a lot more room (since I've seen members running 9.5-10.5 in the front with lower offsets)

What would you guys suggest? 10mm/15mm/20mm spacers in the front? More/less?

Just be sure to verify the clearance & fit w/ the wheel vendor or manufacturer. Even though the brake clearance will be better there still may be issues since they're wheels with lips & recessed center spokes. That's too much money just to buy and "hope" they'll fit.
