Square Setup Help Please

BLK235iNJ · 07-15-2015, 09:37 AM

I have 19x8.5 et40 all around dropped on Dinan springs. Can someone please help me figure out the most aggressive setup?

Try the following site:

willtheyfit.com

just enter your stock setup, say 7.5 et45 with 225 18's and then compare.

I've done that

i'm more concerned with the tire sizes this calculator doesn't take into account a dropped car etc... I'm hoping that someone else has done this and it worked.

Im sure 255 won't fit without camber.... so I would say 245 is the best bet

I've been doing my own research for my ride, and I'm not comfortable with 245's in the front...235's are my max comfort for 8.5 wheels with a square setup.

I just ordered 235/35's for my car. I'll let you know tomorrow if they fit.

I know 235's fit, it's all about the offset for the wheel! If you look in the "show your VMR wheels" you will see some 235's.

Agreed... I was able to find another car with my specs (19x8.5 et40) running 235/35. Hopefully everything works out tomorrow.

I am just about to swap out my et40 8 x 18's with 235 all round - 40mm drop. I had no issues.

I am now going et30 8.5 x 18 with 215/45 on the front and 225/40 on the rear

I used 'willtheyfit' to help with my calcs

Edit...

Just test fitted the new wheels- Rota D154's

Looks like I could go 235 rear and 225 front
