what kind of problems will I be looking at if ?

[golgo13]

If I go staggered set up but with an 11inch wide rear? 19x 11 to be exact. FWD vehicle. Imm set on some wheels and they are huge in the rear. What kind of problems will run into besides the obvious (I cant slam it) and affect drivability a bit.

any input will help I am not looking for opinions just what will happen if ...

Thanks.

You might see a decrease in braking performance, unless you have upgraded brakes..

FWD vehicle?

Nothing except a bit more understeer and the inability to rotate the tires.

[golgo13]

very true didnt think of that this will be just for cruising in town no track or highway speeding. Thanks you though^^^

[michgo]

Fenders.... definately fenders. Pull/Roll them to make a wheel that wide fit.

edit: Only reason I say this is because the offset of the wheel will poke it a whole bunch and hitting bumps (if your lowered) will munch on your tires.

You can cruise/speed fine on a staggered setup.

How you are going to fit a 19x11 in the rear I am quite interested in hearing.

[golgo13]

I really dont know offset for the rear is 55.3 Can I??

Im sensing sarcasm?? Tell you the truth im looking for answers

I have a feeling it isn't going to fit unless you plan to roll around like an Allroad with a crazy camber adjustment or flare out the rear fenders.

There isn't a lot of room back there to play with and if the offset is incorrect the wheel will make contact with the suspension or stick out past your fender.

[golgo13]

Ill adjust my coils for it to be low but not so it hits the fenders. Camber? where would I get a camber adjustment? any more input will help alot I am in love with these wheels and he threw a ridiculous price my way.

[golgo13]

oh and to add I plan on going wide body in a couple of years. :)if everything goes well

[koolade9]

(compared to usp 18s) You're going to need an extra 50mm of space between the inside of the wheel and suspension. And the outer edge of the wheel will stick out 26mm farther. Considering people stick 19x9s et32 out back (24mm farther), you should be able to do it from that aspect, but may need slight modification on the fenders... It's that inside clearance that worries me...

[[email protected]]

Adjusting the coils for height clearance won't solve the problem if the wheels sits past your fender lip unless you plan to lift the car up over the wheel.

Coilover adjustment won't help fit the wheel inside the wheel well if it contact the suspension.

I know of people running custom cut 19x10 which fit perfect in the rear but haven't heard of a 19x11 that didn't have a widebody conversion done to it first.

If the set of wheels are from an MB you should test fit them for sure for fit before buying them.

[golgo13]

No they are not thats the problem. where can i get this camber I keep hearing about lol I hate camber

[golgo13]

Aspect ratio 30 offset 55.3 tire width 295 any more input info ??????? I am a step away from purchase lol

[golgo13]

^^ just for rear. I still have my oem 15's to change whenever I will have long rides. lol

Camber is just tilting the tire on its axis when it is mounted on the hub of the wheel.

My concern is whether you can even mount the wheel with the tire on it without it touching anything.

i am running on 19x9.5 ET 38 on 265/30 tires - drop 1.5 inches - rear // -1.8 Camber - barely fits in the wheelwell.

[golgo13]

fender wise or suspension...? I don't think it will look like a 4x4 if i lift it just a bit above the tire. careful driving of course as I already do. thanks winston for all your input. anymore??????????

[golgo13]

i am running on 19x9.5 ET 38 on 265/30 tires - drop 1.5 inches - rear // -1.8 Camber - barely fits in the wheelwell.

really cause i have installed a 9x9.5 in the rear for my car and it fit just fine??

[[email protected]]

I ran a 19x9.5 ET33 w/ 265/30 and -2.0 camber and it just fit in there too.

That is why I am having a problem imagining a wheel that is 1.5" wider fitting inside there.

[golgo13]

whats another 1.5 lol

[[email protected]]

whats another 1.5 lol

Is that a serious question?

I'll assume it is.

With my setup the lip of the tire was 2mm away from the lip of the fender.

So assuming I was going to put exactly the same wheel on but in a 19x11 size then the wheel can only move one direction... towards the inside of the car. From what i remember trying to stuff another 1.5" of wheel and tire in there would not work.

[AudiA4Turbo22]

ur cars gonna start having 10 point turns! U turns? what u turns?

[golgo13]

LOL no that was not a serious question. What can I do to make them Fit??

[evovento]

I'm running a et53 18x11 with min problems , assuming P wheels with a 55 et. Get a set of 15mm adapters out of Germany you'll be fine , only 20mm are available in us.

FYI - everyone here will think your an idiot though

[evovento]

oh , plenty of room on the inside , just fenders are the issue

lol oh man thanks so much bro. send me pics of your please. that is the best news ever. everyone will think im an idiot?? yeah oh well

Well since were talking about wheel sizes and what would fit(and I don't want to start another "wheel size thread". I've been eyes set of 20" MRR wheels. How would a 9.5 rear wheel with a 40 offset fit? Would I be able to get some tuck without rubbing?

[A4Dit]

You can do it but you will have issues like Winston said. I am running 19x9.5 in the rear with an et of 35 and before I tucked, (cambered my wheels) I was rubbing my outer fender not the inner fender. I ended up rubbing down the paint on the inside lip and I only had the whels on for a week. I am on Neuspeed race springs so that did contribute but you will still most likely end up rubbing even with just sport suspension if you go with a 19x11. If you want pics of my rear setup let me know.

[evovento]

This is 11's out back on Marks car when we did a fitting ( sorry no good pixs of my car right now with body work) .

FYI- after checking around I'm running et 45

Rear - 18x11 et 45 - 255/35/18 w/ H&R 20mm Adapter

[[email protected]]

My entire explanation was assuming you wanted to keep the wheel on the inside of the fender lip.

That should fit as I remember there is enough room with my 9.5 wheel to pull it in another 7mm.

I have seen plenty of 9x9.5 but sure show me pics kind sir

Oh that's why? No i never said anything about keeping them in the fender thanks so much though for the input guys .

Rear - 18x11 et 45 - 255/35/18 w/ H&R 20mm Adapter

can you send me side shots by any chance.

[golgo13]

any more input about how I can get the car as slammed as possible. I will have to roll up fenders but is their any inexpensive way to go wide body just for the rear fenders? what would be the cost of such work and how difficult would it be to Do it myself since i pretty much do everything myself anyway. Once again thanks for input you ladies are great

[[email protected]]

Well these are contradictory statements as you can't slam a car and have the wheels stick out or 'poke' past the fender.

This is the definition of slammed

[golgo13]

ok your right I shouldnt use the term "slammed" just as low as possible. perfect stance
