Rim Fitment question???

onehungevo · 12-06-2009, 08:01 PM

Will 19x8.5 45 offset fit on a 135 w/ eiback springs without rubbing? The company suggest 19x8.5 front & 19x9.5 rear both w/ 45 offset but I believe they will rub on a lowered 135.

I'm not familiar with how much Eilback's lower. My guess is it won't rub in the front with 225s and probably with 235s. The rear probably will rub and only 245's will work unless rolled, etc.

Eibach springs are the most conservative in regards to lowering and you should not rub with this setup.

threads of mine and you will find info on my offsets/sizes and the issues I'm having. Maybe I am just too extreme about not wanting to modify my fenders...

19x8.5 et45 may rub the strut. i mounted 18x8.5 et42 with a 245 tire, and it was very close to the strut. you may need a thin spacer to make it work.

I know for a fact that it won't rub the strut with a 225/35/19 tire (unless you are running AST struts)

I have searched and the problem is nobody has the same setup. The rims size is diff, no springs, they have struts, 18 instead of 19, stretched tires etc....

Also, VMR makes 18x8.5 and 19x8.5 rims w/ 45 offset which should fit front and rear even on an extremely lowered car and I don't see any reviews on a squared setup.
