Aggressive 19" Wheels on Spring. Width+Offset

[Josh_F82]

Curious of those of you with aggressive 19” wheel set ups on springs. What are your widths, offsets, and tire sizes? If not springs, what are you running for suspension? Curious if i can get away with a 19x10 +22 and 19x11 +37 on H&R’s…without rubbing obviously.

You will need to add your desired tire model and size to your equation since some tires run significantly larger (or smaller) than the numbers on the sidewall indicate.

Fitting the wheel specs you listed in combination with the right tires should not be a problem with the OEM strut and lowering springs. A 275/30 front tire and 295/30 rear tire will fit no problem. An 11" +37 rear wheel can be questionable with some 305/30 rear tires.

If you haven't looked at this fitment guide by Apex wheels, it's worth a read. Scroll down till you find the different recommended fitments and tire options for F80/F82 cars:

Thank you for the feedback! This is good to know. I didn’t pick a specific tire size just yet because i wasn’t locked on a set size at the moment. I wanted to get an idea of what other people have run with a similar set up so i know what to gear towards. I’ll prob do PS4S. If 275/30 fit in the front, i may do that and a 295 in the rear. If it looks odd, then maybe do 265 in front. All and all, this was helpful. Thank you. I’ll look at the Apex guide as well 👍🏾👍🏾

I find there is an annoying problem with the whole "wheel/tire equation." Finding a set of front and rear tires that you want to run, that come in the proper sizes to fit correctly on the wheel specs you want to run, in the style of wheel you like, that all fit within the front to rear outside diameter stagger (rear being 0.6 inches larger than front) to keep the car's traction control system happy is harder than it should be.

Seems I always run into one of problems above that leave very few "ideal" possibilities for a wheel/tire choice that best suits the F80/F82 chassis.

I was just considering same option re aggressive 19" option. I was told that 275/30 on 19x9.5 et 22 on frt and 305/30 on 19x11 et 44 on rear would work with PS4's. Can anyone confirm?

what you propose should work with no issues, and the 275/30 front - 305/30 stagger will make your traction control system happy too. Also good tire diameters to keep you from rubbing the fender liners up front.
