my rear end is narrowed 3" per side, The reason I did this was for a really deep dish. I was hoping 19x11 would fit, but is 19x10 the only option?

if u narrow ur rear 3'' per side then 19x11 deep dish should not be a problem, but u will need a BFH treatment or a mini tub. just my opinon

you don't need to do the BFH mod or mini tub

just need trailer mirrors to watch out for pedestrians when taking tight turns in the city

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???

lol, thanks for your input. What is the backspacing on your wheels? also what brand tires are those? how do you like them? do you have a profile for your car?
thanks again.

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.

It's pretty flush - I honestly don't know how guys are running 12" wheels with lowered suspension unless they don't corner hard at all. I do, and it's 1/2 a turn on the PHB from rubbing the rolled fender lip, or rubbing the inner fender. The Michelin's are pretty wide though.

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.



Quick Reply: 19" wheels with 305's anyone?
