Ruff racing 278 19x8.5" 35mm front, and 19x9.5" 45mm rear Will the front wheels fit with a 235/45/19? I read the FAQ and it says the offset should be 38-45mm. So will the 35mm offset work? I also plan on running sportline springs. Thanks for the help!

The 278 with a 45mm offset will work on the fronts. I tested my 19x9.5 with a 275/30/19 tire and it fit fine without any rubbing. why are you looking at a 235? That is a skinny and tall tire with a 45 sidewall. Here is a comparision of a 275/40/17 to your 235/45/19.
275/40/17
Sidewall: 4.3 in
Radius: 12.8 in
Circum: 80.6 in
235/45/19
Sidewall: 4.2 in
Radius: 13.7 in
Diameter: 27.3
Circum: 85.8 in
275/40/17

Well I guess it's different depending on your car because I got 9.5 width wheels for all four corners and they did not fit the front. They won't clear the brake caliper. I mean they just barely scrape it, but it's definetly not safe. If it's clearing on other people's cars, it must be damn close. I highly recommed 8.5 width with 35mm offset for the front, and the 9.5 width with 45mm for the rear. I ended up having to buy two extra wheels because i didn't know that the 9.5 width wouldn't fit the front until I tried to mount them. FUN.
