    Alright will these rims fit, it is really close to the limits so thought i would check

    19*9.5 +40 front
    19*10.5 +40 rear

    What tyre do you plan to run on the back?

    The reason I ask is that with the fuel lines running behind the splash guards, if you ran a 295 with that offset you'll be rubbing alot. A 275 you should be ok. You could always use a spacer :rolleyes: if you need to.

    Be very close to the inner guard. With HICAS you'll be in the inner guard. It's not the worst case scenario, you could use a 5mm spacer to bring it out a bit and roll the guards. I had 10" with +38 on the black car and they rubbed the inner guards on HICAS. But that was a 2str so I didn't really care, plus I removed the HICAS and it was fine.

    my options are

    10.5 +40
    9.5 +40
    8.5 +35 or +45

    wanted to get widest possible on the rear, should i go with 9.5 and get rid of spacer or 10.5 and use a spacer?

    Benny_C About as subtle as...

    If you want 10's

    on the rear, i think a 10" +38 fits ok. An you can sqeeze a 285 or 295 on them. As Andymac says, you may have clearance issues with your fuel rails and you probably will need to roll the outer guard if you go the 295.

    10.5 +40 Should be "ok" with a 285 tyre on it. You may have to use a spacer with HICAS still attached. Or you can lock HICAS.

    9.5 +40 will have the same theoretical width with a 285 tyre on it. So it won't make a difference.

    8.5 is just too skinny.

    cool am going to test fit on the weekend so should all be good, hicas is still active and i dont hav time to do anything like that so will just test fit and make sure it is all good, possibly put a small spacer on it to bring it out if it is too big
