19x11 offset for front fitment ?

[murphyslaww]

19x10 are available from HRE in the FF15's. They also have the 18x10.5's but require a spacer to clear the strut housing.

Yeah, but I'm a cheap bastid.

If I went Forged, it would probably be from Terry at Vorshlag with Forgestars.

i'd prefer if you stuck to your original plan of 19x11/305 square with MCS shocks and lots of camber, confirming fitment for me so that i can pull the trigger on my future DD setup :lol:

I'll just leave this here

rehagen eh?
i picked those same studs up from them, but went with an H&R 20mm spacer instead, since those are 3/4" iirc.
are you going for the 19x11 setup too? pray tell!

maybe 18X10 or 10.5 BBS. Dean sells them pretty cheap and they are only about 20#'s. Lot of Mustangs running in TA3 in TransAm so tires(R7's) for my purposes (moderately used) would be cheap. I just HPDE so I just want something to beat up on anyway. With his spacer the 18X10 would gain an inch of wheel width and move it away from the strut .320" from stock 9" PP wheel. It would give me more room to grind the top strut hole for camber. Forgestars are a lot cheaper but I want to take as much weight out of the car. BBS's are very strong and mass produced. I will take well used beat up wheels if they become available, because I'm cheap and not into the show crowd.

Nice spacers

 

[murphyslaww]

Oooou. Those look light....

if I figured out the 19x11 equation, I think it would to be with the goal of at least 325's. Some salty tears and fender rolling would be ocurring.

I figure if I go with 18X10's and 295 R7's it will remove about 70 pounds out of my car...all unsprung weight, less work for the dampers to do. 60 vs. 45 on each front, 64 vs 45 on the rear. Factory PP wheels and tires tip the scales at just under 250. 20 pound wheel and 25 pound tire add up to 180. That's a serious diet and a bigger footprint.

Spacers are 15.5oz each, ARP studs are 2lbs, nuts are about a 1lb. I think the larger factory 14MM studs and nuts will cancel out.

I just did some 19x11's with 325 Nitto Invos, and 19x10's with 285's front.
More coming soon... THUNDERSTORMS are getting in the way...

Post Pictures guys if you have them...

What offset value would you need for a 10.5" rim to fit in the front over GTPP Brembos without having to use spacers? would a +35 do it?

So did we ever come to a definite conclusion on this? I'd love to run a 19x11 on the front with 305s, regardless of a little poke. What would be the correct offset to snag to render the use of spacers not necessary, and to clear everything correctly? PM if needed. I'd love to pop on a set of 19x11 CF10s for my front to square out my tire rotation. Haha.

 

[Need4SpeedMotors]

I would presume based on my knowledge it would need something like a ET 48-50 and the tire would have to be dropped down to a 305/30/19 easily

 

[Plimmer]

Will a set of coil overs on the front create more room for a 19x11 set up that fits in perfectly?

Seems like the problem is the tire / rim rubbing the spring perch, so I wonder if the smaller diameter spring of a typical coil over set up will allow a bigger rim up front.

 

[Schu]

it would if those coilovers were offset at the lower mount... and there are some like that available.

This is what I want to do! I was going to settle with 19x10 square with 295's but 19x11 305 squared would be amazing! What would the offsets need to be?
