no alignment necessary if you are only doing a wheel swap.

pls explain a little bit more. what do you mean wheel swap? originally i got 225/55/r17 or is it 50, on the car right now. trying to put 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. i think its more like upgrading than swapping.

i have 245/30 in front 275/35 in rear and the rears are ugly. even though i'm lowered on eibach pro-kit's and the tires finish up the gap but if you compare my car next to a sport pkg car ride height is almost the same in the rear. and you can't put spacers on the rear tires without rubbing if you're going to lower your car. but without spacers you should be fine as far as rubbing goes, unless your wheels have really aggressive offsets. if you have question feel free to ask me about my setup.

What did you decide?

contacted omar, probably will go with 40 in front and 35 rear. like he said, he will swap it out if it rubs. so im gonna have my wife test drive the car. if everything goes well when shes driving, then i KNOW that its gonna be fine when i drive! lol.

hey guys, with some time devoted to searching, i think i found the offset.

19x8.5 20mm front
19x9.5 32mm rear

dont know how the offsets affect the setup, so how would it look like with 245/35 and 275/30 compared to 245/40 and 275/35?

sorry if i keep asking, just dont wanna waste my time going back and forth to the tire shop to keep swapping out wheels. i know they said they were gonna swap it out if it rubs, but you never know. they might start asking for some compensation that wasnt included in the original deal.
