Apex VS-5 wheel & tire selection

[SawZallSurgeon]

Sorry if this has been discussed in a thread previously, I tried to search but did not have any luck finding the info I am looking for.

I am about to pull the trigger on a set of VS-5 (19x9.5 ET25 front / 19x11 ET40 rear) from Apex. I am also about to buy some H&R springs and am concerned about rubbing. I am fairly certain the 265/35 is a non issue for the front (please correct me if I am wrong), but the back is where I am struggling. I am wondering if anyone is running this set up and can weigh in on tire selection.

Pic for attention (not my car, but the setup I am going for ).

I'm running basically the same setup with titans. (19x9.5 +32 / 19x11 +40) Lowered on US spec Eibach springs. No spacers and I get flush fitment. I have 265/35/R19 Fronts, 295/35/R19 Rears. I haven't had any rubbing.

Car looks great!!

I am trying to get that 305/30 on the rear though

I've seen plenty of 305/30/19 with CR-S on the back but with swift springs. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures.

I had the VS5RS on my car on eibach springs that was super low (i think it was the 1st iterations of the us spec). I ran 265/35 front 305/30 rear with no issues at all. Swift springs should be good as they weren't as low as the eibachs.

The Apex website has a dedicated page all about various fitments and the details to make some of them work - tire sizes, coilovers or not. Have you read it? If not, FYI you should go look for it.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback!! Sounding like I should be fine.

I did look at that. I did not see anything about spring, coilovers, etc.

I did a ctrl+F find and it mentions coilovers 14 times.

In case you saw the wrong document.

Point being, they've covered their wheel fitments pretty extensively.

Yes , I actually read the section about the set up I am looking at. Nothing mentioned about lowered fitment. I did however call Apex and spoke with one of their staff and they confirmed fitment will be fine.
