Will this setup rub?

Sup guys,

gonna be buying a set of 19'' x 8.5'' et 30 wheels in the front and 19'' x 10 et 37 in the rear with a 15mm spacer (for the rears). Will the fronts fit perfectly with a 235/35/19 tyre? And will the rears fit perfectly with a 275/30/19?? Stock suspension (no lowering or nething)?? This is for the M Coupe btw

Also, which set of tyres do you guys recommend between the Toyo T1R and the Falken FK452?


Thanks a lot guys

I think you should be fine, You would probably get rubbage in back if you lowered it though.

I think the t1r's are better performance, the fk452 are more luxury/vip type tire, they also camber wear really well if it's on a car with heavy neg camber.

For comparison, on my previous M Roady lowered on H&R, I ran;
Fronts = 19x8.5 ET35 with 245/35
Rear = 19x9.5 ET22 with 275/30

Fronts I had some rub right where the wheel well plastic liner joins the front bumper.
Since your setup will extend out an extra 5mm than mine, you will likely have the same rub. (even w/o a drop)
You can fix this with a heat gun and push the liner back a bit.

Rears, you will also extend 5mm more than mine.
I had no problems at all, so chances are the extra 5mm will work w/o a drop.

Note:
Your camber settings will have a big impact on clearances.

I had the front pins pulled & was somewhere around -1.6
I don't recall exact rear setting, but somewhere around -2.0

Works fine, exactly what I am running. No problem with rubbing unless lower.
