Fronts will be tight depending on offset. Your wheels most definitely will stick out and you'll either have to deal with this or get wide fenders. 285 is also kind of large for the rear, so once again depending on offset it may rub and you'll need widefenders to make it sit flush.

i duno ... 19's to me sounds stupid. I have FD wheels (16x8) on my car and they fill the wheel wells pretty good, and im on stock shocks/springs

i would say stick to 16-18 at most ... but thats only me.

if you put 35mm rear fenders. might have to run wider front fenders too. your probably going to go wide body kit on this one. I have 19's dropped all the way with tein coil overs and i'm running 245/35/19 all the way around right now on 19x7 in front and 19x8 in rear. i'm actually thinking of dropping the fronts to 225/35/19s also.


just realized this is old topic wow way to go google for putting this on the top. LOL.

i have 18s and i hate them, i feel slow and they are extremly heavy, if your not taking it to car shows do something under 17 anything higher and your hurting performance. im getting 16s here soon, and also many 7 people think big rims are a waste

I was running 19x9/19x10. Even with stretched tires it's guna be a pain. I would stick with 18's and smaller. Running 19's worst thng I could have done. lol
