H&R Sport. It will drop a little more after they settle in. Just wanted to fill the gap only...nothing to serious.

Looks like a good drop, you are running 9.5" rears with 20MM offsets right?

ksfrogman · 07-15-2006, 11:20 AM

I'm wondering why you are rubbing on 19's and H&R Sports. What's the width of your rear wheel and offset?

EDIT: I have 265s on 19x10s +26 at the rear with H&R Sports.

Yeah the wheel width does not realy matter it's your tires that are rubbing. Roll the fender and add some negative camber in the rear. My next set up will be 19x10 with 20mm offsets and 265/30/19. You should consider a 30 series tire.

I didn't roll the fenders yet, but I did use the mallet technique on the little nipple protuberance where the inside right rear fender well meets the top of the bumper cover.

I supported the outside of the fender well, placed a flat piece of aluminum from within the fender well, and used a mallet against it.

I haven't rubbed since, even with two adult rear passengers and trunk cargo.

Okay, I'm a newbie and I want to know if 19x8.5 40 offset for the front and 19x9.5 45 offset is a good combo?

the front should be ok, although alot of ppl are using 35mm for the front, the rear specs you have are kinda high, they will work but you will need spacers if u want it more flush with the fender. if you dont want to use spacers try a +30mm or lower offset
