Anyone running front 19x11's yet?

[FR500GT]

I have ran MANY wheel/tire setups on the S197 platform ranging from 18x10, 19x10 and 20x10 (all front) with room to spare. I know that 20x11 (+53) fits the rear no problem but I never tried fitting them on the front. I understand it all depends on brake type, tires and suspension but has anyone been successful running front 19x11 and if so what are your specs? Vorshlag has run Forgestars in 18x11 but I don't believe their offsets are available to the public.

I might try square 19x11's I'm thinking that a +45 front and +53 rear would do the trick.

The offsets vary but it has been done with a 18x11 front now convert that to a 19x11 and to equalize the overall diameter just adjust the tire size.

Why?

I think its doable but it won't of course be rotatable and fitment will be pretty dang tight.

I called vorshlag and they have offsets for 19x11 squared forgestars. Plan on ordering mine as soon as the C/C plates are available

What tires would you run on them? Michelin Super Sports in 295/35/19 would be my choice. No word on when their 305/35/19 tires will be available but I suspect not for another year.

While I was getter my calipers painted the shop accidentally scratched one of my rims. While they sent it out to get it repaired they fitted me with an 19x11 wheel with a lip. It looks awesome!!

What wheel is that? A 255 tire on an 11" wide wheel? Are you certain that is correct?

Looks like a undersized wheel diameter higher tire profile,but if its a 255 then it would stretch regardless

That is the stock OEM wheels. 255/40-19. While my wheel was being fixed they swapped the tire from the OEM wheel to this one. Yes its a bit stretched but it looks good!

255 on 11" rim...

I like the silver lip with a black wheel though.

I know exactly what tire that is, but are you certain that wheel is 19x11"?

Not certain. It wheel came almost flush to the rear fender. It could be 10.5 but when I asked the guy who installed he looked at it and said propably 11s.

I highly doubt that's an 18x11...the stretch would be more then that. Maybe 18x10's...
