Default Ro_ja R25

I absolutely love these wheels. They are 18*7.5 with a 47mm offset and the rears are 18*8 with a 43mm offset. I looked at the sticky on the top of the page and it looks like I wont clear without rolling my rear fenders. What tire combo you think I would have to run not to roll the fenders. The fronts look ok but the rears scare me a little. Let me know guys!!!
Thanks
J.

I would look at 225/40R18 rear and 215/40R18 in the front. You may still need to roll the fender lips but that is the narrowest tires I woulod run. If I can help with the ties let me know.

I might be getting a set of 19 inch Ro_jas. They are 19*8 55 offset in the front and 19*8.5 60mm in the rear. I was thinking about running 215/35 front and 255/35 rear. That sound about right?
Thanks
J.

According to the offset info, it will work.

the widths of the rims are very close together (just .5in apart) so the front tire will look streched, and the rear will be bulgding. those can work but im not a fan of those offsets

1. I don't know of many high quality tire manufacturers who make a 215/35/19 inch tire.

2. Even if you could find tires in those sizes, your front and rear diameters would be significantly different. do a search to find out what the problems are with that.

3. for the above reasons, as well as the fact that you can 'stretch' a tire but not a wheel the offset sticky isn't really all that applicable to 19" wheels.

I can think of about 5 more reasons off the top of my head, but I'm on my way to work.
Go ahead and do it if you want to.

There are plenty of tire manufactures that make that size. I was thinking of doing 225/35 and 245/35. There are many people who run these size tires with an 18 inch wheel and same offset, why does it matter if its a 19 inch wheel?
