Hope I'm not derailing the thread here.

I was originally looking at a staggered setup but am wondering if I can do a square setup instead with the following wheels with no spacers on a stock height non-PP...

Advanti FS Fastoso
20x10
Offset: 45mm
Backspacing: 7.28"

Not sure if they'd fit on the front or not, but it seems like a square setup is better for handling.

My 19x10 +45 barely rubbed the inside suspension, but that was with 295/30 tires. I'd get a 5-8mm spacer to be safe.

Question for those running 30 profile MPSS squared... What PSI you guys running?

did my first of two days of HPDE with Drivers Edge with the square setup. Car felt very neutral, never felt that I had under/oversteer

anybody know if 19x9.5 with 22 offset and 255/40/19 will work for a squared set up? will I rub at all?

Don't think so unless you're on lowered spring set.

Here, stock 18" is on the left. and clearances are what I measured on my non lowered car. on the right is what your proposed setup would look like on a non lowered car.

22 offset is too much. I'm on a 19x9.5 with +30 offset and it sits flush.

What website are you using?

Anybody know what size lug nuts I need for after market wheels and where I can get them? I need a set for my new wheels and my oem lugs will not fit

It's from wheel-size.com

To his defense, you're also on a 285 tire per your signature (correct me if I'm wrong). His wheel will stick out further, but his 255 tire won't so it should still clear fine. If it rubs, add a little camber.

It will poke but if you do a smaller tire and run a tad bit of camber you can do it.

(4) 19x10 +45 MMD Axim wheels from American Muscle
(4) MPSS 295/30/19
(4) 1" hubcentric wheel spacers from American Muscle

I have only put a little over 100 miles on them I believe so I am still breaking the tires in (all city and no highway or twisty roads :( ) but I can already tell a difference with steering and turning. DEFINITELY looking forward to when these babies are ready for the canyon!

My ONLY complaint is that I went with 1" spacers. The quality from AM is top notch, no complaints about the actual spacers themselves, but as you can see I am sticking out too much. To summarize, front wheels/tires rubbed suspension without spacers so I got 1" hubcentric ones to be safe, but now I am not sure if I like them being so far out. I put them on all four corners since I thought it might look weird with only 1" spacers on the front. However, I do have a pair of 8mm hubcentric spacers ordered and will try the car out with them on the front and no spacers in the rear when they come in.

Yeah, 19.6mm is way too much (little) offset with those 1" spacers, the 8mm should work better for the fronts. Remember less is more with wheel offsets.

Reading through the thread I may have to change up my plans... Will this work out? Also keep in mind I will be doing some autocross with the car, nothing competitive so I'm not worried about classing issues. When I want to get competitive I'll get a dedicated wheel/tire set up for Autox.

Current Plan: 19x9.5 +35 Niche Misano w/ 285/35/19 on all 4 corners

Would I benefit from going to a 10" wheel with 285s? I really like the Misano but it doesn't come in a 19x10 as far as I know. I'm not buying them tomorrow so I have time to shop around as well, want to get the right set up.
