Forgestars fitment

remyd · 06-20-2015, 01:09 PM

Hey guys I tried searching for fitment help, but I'm still a little confused.

I bought a set of 19's gunmetal forgestars,

fronts: 8.5 +35 19's
rear: 10 +43 19's

they came with a set of hankook ventus v12

fronts are 245/40
rears are 285/35

I also have 2 extra hankook ventus v12 that are 245/40

when I test fitted the rears, they would rub on the inside suspension arm, so if I even could run those tires for the rear I imagine that I would need spacers?

I know this is a strange fitment, but what do you guys think?

18's or 19's?

If you have enough room to the fender then just run spacers.

sorry thought I included that,

19's

You should run a 235/35 and 265/30/

Tires too tall.
Should be running 35 aspect ratio in the front and 30 in the back.
+43 and you should be running a 5mm or 10mm spacer.

Correct tires are 235/35-19 and 265/30-19
I run wide and I have a 245/30 on the front with 19x9 ET35 and 275/30 in the rear on a 19x9.5 ET33. My car is a pre-LCI E90.

Ok so it looks like I am going for a pair of sumitomo htr z III at 265/30/19 for the rear. I am going to keep the front as is at 245/40 because I test fitted them and they only very slightly rub on full lock.

After much searching it looks like 265/30's on the rear would be ~a direct fitment, considering I'm not running a very aggressive rear offset??

I run a 275/30 in the rear.
