19x8, 35mm offset & Eibach Sportlines....Is it OK?
Wednesday, February 09, 2005 9:10 AM
I've tried searching for this setup but nothing came up.

I will be running 225/35/zr19 tires. I know I might have to roll my fenders. Aside from that, do you guys think I be ok? Or will I run into some rubbing issues with either the insides of the wheel well and struts?

I know there has been a few people running 19x8, 35mm offset with 225/35/zr19 tires but I'm not sure what suspension they have?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You may end up slicing up your tires on the fenders and have to do some modifying to get the clearance you need.

Thats what Im running right now with Ground Controls. I had to roll all 4 fender lips. I rolled the fronts first but then sliced some of the sidewall on the rear so I had to roll those too. Going widebody so I dont have to worry about that anymore plus Ive got new 19s going on with fresh tires.

Any rubbing issues?

So I should be fine if I roll the lips on my fenders?

I rub on the inner fenders in the front but as you can see from my sig I like to slam my car. Sometimes its even lower than in my sig.

Thanks dude.

I'm not too worried about rubbing on the inner fenders. I'm more worried about shredding the tires.

SHRED.. nah..

driving and constantly thinking about bumps up ahead.

well they took a good hit as u can see

Some people say that they're not so good, that they don't grip all that well.
It hard for me to say because they are my first "performance tire". Nothing
for me to compare against, but I know I took some CRAZY turns and I can
stomp on the gas and there is not a squeak out of them. Now I know it's
a 140 hp car but still

The shop did tell me that they tested them and they can take a lot BUT if
you can't overdrive them because they will not regain grip. So if you take
and INSANE turn and u slip, your apperantly going for a ride. But I don't race
so I don't care.

Oh and they're Brigstone tires, just without Brigstone written on them, so
they cost less.

im with wojtek: man if you need to roll your fenders just to get a set of wheels on your car...its not worth it,way too many nice wheels out there to be buying a set with so wide of an offset. or buying a wheel just because of the name..but hey to each their own...........RUB ON

You could get the wheel milled down or add a spacer if your offset isnt correct. Ill be running 40mm offset with 5/16" spacers so it is flush with the widebody.

^^ what kind of rims do you have? mine look JUST like em.. are they axis wheels? if so i hope i dont have to do any milling etc on them.... but i am still on stock suspension so maybe i'll get lucky...

Hmm, they gotta be on the net somewhere. Go on a hunt and get a pic. From there
maybe we can figure out the make and model. Otherwise I really don't know.

Ohh and yeah I had my fenders rolled and cut. They were cut cuz I have a sedan and
you can't roll it where it's needed most. Also I must point out that my whole
suspensions was installed incorrectly by the shop. Since then it has been fixed up and
I'm on GC's now. I'm am set on the highest setting in the back (about a sportline drop I THINK) and I'm turned down one quarter in the front.

I rub on only severe dips, but no more cutting.

which area needs to get rolled the most? aside from being a sedan are there any other reasons why couldnt you roll it?

I had the most problems with the rear. god
forbid someone was in the back seat.

Reason is that on the back when the wheels
travel up on the suspension, they don't move
in a perfect vertical line. They move on a
foreword angle. So that's where it touches first
on the fender.

Now on the sedan, on the back fenders, that area
is the back of the door. So I was unable to roll it.
On 2-doors it's just a full fender that u can roll
all the way around. So you'll be ok. Just don't slam
the car too hard, or better yet don't get 35mm

Get something around 40-42 I think

I hope I explained that ok
