HRE C22's 19's Staggered Fit

Im getting the hre c22 19's in the charcoal color for my silver v. 19x10 and 19x8.5. ive seen people with the 295's and i think thats what i want to go with. i just ordered the stainless works headers, cat, and sw 3in exhaust and it would be nice to have some big meats in the back to go with the sound. i have a maggie so spinning them wont be a problem. does anyone have some pics they could post to help me make up my mind. or any rubbing issues? would 275's or 285's be better? is 255 in the front right? anyone know the offset on this setup?

<<<275/40/18s with no rub on the front, the 19s is gonna be tight I would think. I think someone mentioned 305's on 10" on the rear. Thats some hella fat meat if thats what your looking for.

that would be sweet if the 305's will fit. spending so much on tires and rims i really dont want any rubbing.

Be sure to utilize the tire calculator below when making your final decision... others can post regarding their experiences with certain types of tires running "slimmer" than others; however, to keep the rolling diameter the same compared to your stock wheels it would be as follows
245/45/18 (stock) ---> 275/35/19 (rear w 19s)

if you want to squeeze a hair bigger in the front and rear on your 19's
255/40/19 ---> 285/35/19

Mess with it and see what you turn up... hope this helps

Hey Blairski, I am running HRE 593's 20X 10 in the rear and 20X8.5 in the front. The tires I am running are 285/30/20's in the back and 245/35/20's in the front. I was going to go bigger in the back but this is the max for my V before rubbing was going to happen in the back.

thanks csp3000. if thats the max then i guess ill stick with that. i dont want any rubbing spending 6 grand on a wheel package.

If the car is not lowered the 295's will fit fine on the rear. The only time the might rub is on a hard dip in the road. I've got 255's on the front of my 505's and 295's on the back.......no problems.
