Im going to run 19x11's and was hoping on 305's, my only dilema is that my rear end is narrowed 3" per side so im trying to figure out a backspacing that will yield the most clearance on the inner and outter part of the wheel. I tried using a wheel tool and came up with 4.5" backspacing for a 11" wide wheel. Im thinking of bringing the car to a wheel/tire store and asking if they can measure it for me. I wonder if they have this service???

So I did some measuring:
The wheels/tire size I would like is 19x11 with a 305/30/19. A nitto Invo that size has the following dimensions. 26.22" overall diameter and 12.36" width. I mocked that size tire up with the percy wheel tool and get a backspacing of a little less than 4.75". At the 4.75" backspacing, the 12.36" wide tire rubs a LOT on the inner fender. Since Its easier to roll the fenders to achieve more room on the outter fender well, I think the 4.5" backspacing would be better? correct me if Im wrong.

these are the ones that i have for sale:
I am running 295's all around
wanted to be able to rotate the tires so kept it the same width all around
tires are 295/30ZR19 Michelin PS2 tires,
IMO they are the best tire for all around performance
only down side is that they cost a fortune.

I do need to do another photoshoot before I put it up for winter, but I'm pretty busy for the next few weeks though.
