235 fronts on kw v2? Please help

domrep · 04-25-2011, 09:19 AM

Hey guys, does anyone know if front 235/35/19's on 8.5" rims will fit without rubbing fender or struts if I'm lowered on KW V2's? Anybody have a similar set up? Any help would be appreciated!

I've got KW v2, and has used both 19x8.5 and 20x8.5 with 235 tires, as long as the offset is lower than approx. ET42-43, you'll be fine on the strut side.

I see, so no fender rubbing on the front when turning? Mine are ET35ish I think so I should be way in the clear then?

That's an extremely common set-up on all E9x's...you'll be fine

Exactly... It's conservative.

You'll be fine with the 19x8.5 ET30-35 with a 235/35/19 lowered on the KW V2 without any issues!

Thanks Alan

. I'm only scared because currently my 245's don't fit at all...surprised that 10mm will make that much of a difference.

What you you mean by 'don't fit at all'?
If it's close to ET35, that's sounds weird.

I know, I was in shock. I can't make a full turn at all without hit hitting the strut hard and the front fender.

I am running on 235/35-19 on 19x8.5 ET32 with zero rubbing lowered on KW v1

You should clear the inside and outside without a problem with a 8.5 +35 and a 235 tire. With a 245 you may have a very slight rubbing issue during cornering.
