Et 30 with 9.5...There is no way that's going to work. I have 19x9.5 with et41 and its a tight fit.

255s won't fit...this is certain. 235s will, but the stretch looks off to me. 9.5s on the car needs to be et 38 to 46 I'd say. and then the tire would also have to match those ets.

I love to see the 9.5s et41s 255s. have a picture? must look great.

How does Stasis fit a 275 tire on their wheels? ie, what's the width/offset?

[L0U]

They use 9" rims and large offset numbers. 20 or 19 by 9" et48. Going to 9.5" makes them closer to the suspension on the front, so et48 on 9.5 would rub...instead one must do a wee bit of fender work and use et 45 or 46 with 275s. (plus it has to be a somewhat skinny 275 brand....a fatty would rub)

Hey Lou, I decided to go with 19x9.5 et 41 after reading your advice on your wheel+tire thread. Thanks for the info, I think it turned out pretty nice! I figured I couldn't go wrong following info from a fellow Duc rider.

Hey Tigas TT, sorry to hijack your thread.

The car will be slightly dropped sometime this week...

Sweet. I wondered what that might turn out like. Onced dropped it should be bang on. (if you turn the wheel at the dront all the way to one side to reach the back...any idea how many mm's between the rim and suspension? I am guessing 7mm?, but the measurement would aid in sticking 275s on 9.5 with the right et.)

I can certainly measure it for you this afternoon. Are you asking about the space between the suspension arm and the back side of the rim once the wheel is turned all the way?

[L0U]

yes, you turn the wheel to make space to get back there. the clearance stays the same.

Even with the wheel turned all the way, there wasn't much room to use any measuring device directly. I used a set of shim stacks to measure the clearance between the wheel and the suspension arm and I used a micrometer to measure the shims. The clearance was about 12mm measuring directly parallel from the wheel to the suspension arm.
