19x9.5 +17 Tire size?

[Max3.0]

Hey,
got my new wheels but I have caliper interference so need to add a 5mm spacer.
This brings my wheel spec to 9.5 wide and +17 offset. I'm lowered with HKS base configuration so about 3/4in.
Can I run a 265-35-19 with stock camber specs?
Thanks

I'm running 265/35/19 on my fronts with roughly stock camber with no issues. +22 offset w/o spacer. Not sure if there's rubbing issues with it being lowered though, as I am on stock ride height, but there's quit a bit of clearance so I'd wager a guess that you're fine if you don't crank up the camber or go much lower.

Yeah +22 was my go-to offset. Now I'll be at effective +17 with the spacer hence my question related to this specific offset.

My gut feeling is that you'll need additional negative camber up front. For our 11-inch wide wheels with a +40 offset, we consider camber required for that fitment and it actually sits about 4mm more inboard than your proposed setup. So you'd technically have worse fender clearance.

Obviously the tire sizing on a 11-inch wheel is going to be much more aggressive, but I still think it's something to keep in mind.

You can always just try it and hope it doesn't rub. Otherwise, I'd suggest to either plan for adding camber into the alignment, or consider going with a more narrow tire.

Ok thanks for your feedback.
