LCI offsets

As the title states... I'm becoming a little worried about these fitting and not rubbing.

Or will I have to have the fenders rolled?

I sure hope so! I have some in 19's on order with the same offset and am not too concerned. I think you'll be fine, though you might have to be mindful of what your tire choice is. If you're not dropped there's almost no question you'll be fine.

Just for reference purposes there are some people running a 19x10 +38 with 265's in back and are dropped that swear they don't rub.

Hi guys,

another alternative would be

19x8.5 ET38
19x9.5 ET45

This seems to have the same clearance on the outside, but move the wheel towards the strut... so there should be no rubbing problems, but will the wheels clear the strut?

Thanks

Both should work...

18x9.5 ET35 with a 265/35/18 rear tire should not rub on your car. You can go with a tire that has a smaller sidewall to prevent rubbing issues but this should not be an issue on the LCI.

The 19x9.5 ET45 will fit without rubbing but will be inset in the rear fender. You can run those but I suggest a 10mm rear spacer.

I have 19x9.5 et27 with 265-35-19 PS2 and I only rub under heavy load

Did you have to roll your fenders? Or is this with stock fenders?
