    245/35/19 on a 19x8.5 et45 wheel

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm looking at running some 19x8.5 wheels with a 245/35/19 et45 wheel and a 5 mm spacer. Will it clear the front suspension? The 5mm spacer is to clear Porsche brakes in the front but it looks like with a tire, I will be close to the upper control arm. Has anybody run this setup?

    Ya, on ABT springs. I'll have to go measure but my current 235/40/18s don't rub. My fenders have been rolled too.

    rolling and pulling and then maybe... it would be sweet to run 245's. I personally have 235's et43 and it sits nice lowered and front fenders rolled and slightly pulled.

    it shouldnt rub much, it will be close though. i run 235/35 with et35 & rolled fenders at 25.25" GTF and it doesnt rub, you will be lower but 5mm difference in offset.
