Elevens runs a 19x10 with 275 rubber. I think 255 would be stretching it a bit...don't recall if he is running spacers, but I don't think he is. What rims are you looking at?

I know James is running 19x10 et32 with 275's on his...awful close to the upright, but clears none the less.

255 tires will work but will look odd IMO. Too much stretch.

One option if you need more clearance on the front upright is to use the 034 upper arms - it allowed me to fit the 265/35/19 on 19x9.5 Et 33 rims that needed 3mm spacers prior....

19x10 ET 35 all around. 5mm spacers up front to clear the bearing carrier. Non needed in the rear. No clearance issues at all Running 275-30-19's all around. 255 will work, but stretching it a little in my opinion. Hope this helps....

just wanted to say a big thanks to you all, for the feedback

i have used spacers once before for a few days, i found the shudder under heavy breaking un-nerving..perhaps that was a issue with fittment, i would prefer not to use spacers...

the wheels i am looking at are pictured on that E55..they are a forgestar F14F 2 peice wheel

but the only make a 19x8.5 then jump to a 19x10 ?

they are $733 each....would you be confident if they say they will fit , to have them sent to OZ and prey they fit??

elevens your offset looks badass perfect...

so i can assume that a 19x10 et 32+ will fit without spacers?

thanks boys :applause:

If you are interested, I could mediate the buy. Send em to me, I'll fit them and send you pics. Take em back off and box them up. Either send em your way, or back to the manufacturer, depending on proper fitment.
