Received yesterday and put on today! 19x10 square. No drop.

^^^ Nitto's? How does it drive compared to the older stock tires? Tracking? Noise? Roughness?

 

[Hoser!!]

No Nittos. It’s the Ohtsu. I just drove it a few blocks. No reviews on these tires yet. But it was smooth when I drove it around.

ah..sorry. Nitto's always seem to be the "go-to" when ordered as a set.

When you've had the chance to wring them out, please let us know. I have a set of the 19x10's squared, but will probably go with Conti's in 285. I'm really interested in getting as much input as possible on drive quality from everyone who's running the square setup. Especially those who decide to add a 1" drop.

Can’t go wrong with Conti’s. I have that on my BMW and that will probably be my replacement for these tires.

I never thought about this much until reading some threads on guys adding wheels spacers. Generally, adding wheel spacers can cause problems down the road with wheels bearings.

Do the 19x10 R350 wheels at +35mm provide correct pressure on the wheel hub bearings?

I would worry about clearance first. These wheels are snug fit, you don't need spacers.

I'm not worried about spacers at all. I'm worried about whether or not proper pressure is being applied to the hub bearings to ensure their longevity.

Here is my set up from LMR.
275/40/19 front and 325/35/19 rear with Cooper tires lowered on Eibach springs

Now that's one sick ride !

On the S550, Ford puts wheels with an offset of 40mm (18x8), 42.5mm (19x8.5 GT and 20"?) and 45mm front, 52.5mm rear (9x19,9.5x19 PP). So a 35mm offset is 5mm more outboard than any of the stock offsets.

Don't know if this is an issue or not. It looks to me like Ford goes inboard with the wheel the wider they go, but I don't know if the reason is wheel bearing/suspension related or stability or looks or? (Note that offset is independent of width, unlike backspacing).

In front, you can't go any farther inboard than 35mm with a 10" wheel as far as I can tell.

So, on an OEM PP2 wheel set, aren't they something like 19x10.5?

If there isn't enough inboard room, what would those have for an offset?

 

[abbeynormal]

I believe they are 24mm, which of course sticks way the heck out of the fender.

If that's the case, then one would assume the SVE R350 wheels put slightly less radial stress on those hub bearings than the PP2 wheels. Assuming those hubs are designed to handle that kind of offset for the PP2's, then the SVE R350's should never really have any issue as far as longevity goes...

..At least, one would assume.
