Default KYB Adjs+ Eibach Pro Kit+ Wide wheels=???

Simply making this thread to see if anyone is running this setup.
A friend of mine just did this setup on his 35th LE and it looks amazing BUT, Im curious to see if you can run a wide wheel. Biggest he has is 18x9.5. Biggest I wanna run is 19x10. Anyone with pictures or feedback please post. thank you.

I ran a 295/30/19 on my SS and alittle rubbing issue till I rolled the fender. Thats was with a +38mm offset and 9.5 rim.

Depends on the wheel offset, tire (brand and size), and your car (every car is a little different).
You may need to roll the fenders and do the BFH mod.

Not sure how much this will help but I have a Pro kit(LT1), GM 10 spokes, and Nexen N3000 tires 275 40 17 and there is tons of room.

You may want to look into getting a "skinny" tire like Nittos. Pretty sure they run slightly narrow compared to others.

I wouldn't do 19's on my car. The rear is just too low with my 17's, let alone 19's(unless you get rubberbands for tires.)

This is at a stop with two people in the car. Full weight interior.

I'm running BMR 1.25 front and Hotchkiss 1in in the rear on 18x10.5. Ive also ran 17x11 ZR1's on the same setup. All it took was BFH.

My god, both your cars look amazing.
Im gonna be purchasing the KYB AGXs after all and the Eibach Pro Kit Springs.
I really wanna go with a staggered 18/19. Guess Ill stick to my 17x9.5 zr1s till I can find a decent set that will fit with that setup. please post more pics for those running something similar. Thank you guys.

Get the LT1 pro kit. They dont seem to sag in the rear like LS1 pro kits.

My pro kit on 19 8.5 fronts and 19 9.5 rears. I don't mind the ride on these but will probably change them after resizing that they don't like passengers in the back seat (not common for me to do but sometimes I do.
