Default SSR Professor offset question

I am aware that severl owners run the SSR Professors in a 9.5" +55 SL disk in the rear with no fitment issues. My BBS LMs where also 9.5 +55 and I loved the way they sat on the car.

I am leaning toward getting a set of the SSR SP1s and noticed that a 10" +62 SL disk is offered.

My questions are:

1. Will a 10" +62 SL disk fit?

2. Both the 9.5" +55 and the 10" +62 have the 110mm lip, what would be the benifit of getting the 10" vs. the 9.5" ?

3. I ran a 265 no problem on the 9.5", would a 275 fit with the 10" +62 offset?

Thanks again for your help!

Jim..?
Anyone..?


Here is the specs according to the Offset Calculator:

The 10" rim will not stick out more than the 9.5", however I do lose a lot of space from inside of the wheel to suspension... I am not sure if this will cause an issue or do I still have enough room to run a 275 on the 10" +62 w/out rubbing on the inside.

BTW I am lowered on Espelir Active Super Down (the blue ones).
I had no rubbing issues with the LMs (9.5 +55), am concerned about the SP1s 10" +62)

10 u can pull the tire more... vs 9.5 your 13mm closer to the suspension w/ the 10


BTW: will not have 110mm lip on SSR sp1, im sorry

your looking at i think its 59mm 2.322"




59mm

onbly thing you would gain is 13mm more wheel inside the fender... and you could run a 10mm wider tire w/ same clearance or... pull the tire more

I was actually looking at Gruppe-S' site and was insterested in the 19" sizing.
I am interested in running 19X8 +49 NR front and 19X10 +62 SL rear.

I though only the width would be a concernt for fitment. I figured the diamiter would only be affected by ride height.
Does the fact that the wheels are 19" make a difference in fittment?

Here is where I got my info from...



Thkx again for the input!

I don't think the lip is 110mm outward.. I just think that there is an extra step since the face is 17" and the barrel is 19" vs. the single step from 17" face to 18" barrel...

kewl.. so then it settled, the wheels would be
Front - 19x8 +49 NR 34mm lip
Rear - 19x10 +62 SL 59mm lip

would you recomend:
225/35 19 & 275/30 19
or
235/35 19 & 275/30 19
