Help on getting the right fitment on my 19 setup

I'm trying to get my wheels finalized and was hoping some of the wheel fitment experts here could help chime in.

I'm thinking on this setup:

19 x9.5 +17
19x10.5 +17 or 19x11 +17

First question is will this fit with rolling the fenders or is additional modification required and what tire sizes do you recommend if I'm looking to go with a similar stance as the photo below



I want the stanced/tucked look but am not looking to have a wheel setup where the lip sticks out i like how the tire to lip combo looks in the photo and is still very flush and tucked. Lastly with a steplip 3 piece setup has anyone ran a Stoptech 355 kit with it? I'm told that this will not fit by some venders and others they are saying it will. Verifications on fitment and tire recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The wheel sizes you posted will definitely contact the fender. Camber modifications will be required, as well as fender rolling and possibly a light pull depending on tire size. In the front, you probably want a 235 or 245/35 for fitment (again, that width/offset combo will stick out a lot). In the rear, you should be safe with a 275/35 and some camber, but that's my opinion for an 18" setup. On a 19" you might want a 275/30.

Either way, with widths and offsets that aggressive, I don't think you're going to achieve the look the LB 458 pulls off above. You need to scale back your widths, or your offsets, or both.

Thanks for your input! Would love some additional input from any of you fitment experts. Part of me is thinking now between 19x10 and 19x10.5 for the back and 19x9.5 still for the front. Still need more input to get the offsets right (especially if it will clear a stoptech bbk). I'm thinking 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 for the back. That shouldn't poke too much with that setting yea? Thoughts?

Your mirror looks broken. Wheels look excellent on there but I think the front can come out another 5-10mm. How do you like those hankook v12's? I sold mine because I found they had poor traction and were very soft and killed steering response.

HAHA - it just folded in when I walked by - I don't track the car so the Hancooks are fine for what I use the car for and with the 445 they don't last long anyway

I just ordered some wheels:

19x10 +35 (these will have a 10mm spacer to clear Porsche brakes)
19x11 +17

Finding 3 piece wheels to clear the stoptechs may be a problem...you'll need to get as many measurements as you can before you order wheels

Even if you have an ESS Vt-445 it doesn't add significant wear to the rear tires IMO. I have a vt-445, 4.10 and headers and usually front and rear wear are similar or front tires wear faster!

Depends on your driving.

Wow, good luck. I would love to see this work with stoptech's. I suppose you are aiming for more of a "stance" or show car look?

Depending on the spokes/centers design of your wheels, you should be fine to clear the Stoptech front calipers with et25. I had Performance Friction Z45 calipers with 18x9.5 et32 CCW Classic and it fits.

The best with BBK is to have concave faces, it gives more room than a convexe design!

I'm doing the Porsche 996 calipers on stock rotors, so they have a bit more room than the stoptechs....they will be a more show/stance setup, but I will still have my ec7's with star specs to run for autox and tracking
