ET 35 or 40 on 10j 19's

[Zero4]

I don't want to use spacers and aiming for flush as possible. Will be dropped on coil overs and don't want rubbing. question is on a 10j would you go ET35 or 40?

Oh... and front is 8.5j and only come in ET35.. this work?

Research comes up with the following to be ok.

Front ET35 with 235/35
Rear ET40 with 265/30

The pic I've seen with these sizes and rubber seem nice without being too aggressive.

Front ET35 with 235/35
Rear ET40 with 265/30

I agree with the offsets but I would tend to go for a 225/35 tyre on the front as some people have experienced rubbing with the slightly wider 235s
You are playing with small margins looky here

I'm running 235/35/19 with ET 35 on the front and 265/30/19 with ET 38 on the rear and have had no probs of rubbing and I'm lowered.

yeah 225 could be a better option as with coils I may choose low lows

what size are your fronts then 8.5j or 9J ?

This is what throws me when i'm looking at wheels i assumed if you were on msport suspension (3.0i) or lowered you'd no mission of using 9j even at et35 or is the width not so much the problem that it's the height when you're trying to fit
so it was 8.5j 225/35/19 or 235/35/19
but 9j 235/35/19 is an option then?

The fronts are 8.5j with 235/35/19 and the rears are 9.5j with 265/30/19

My coupe is lowered with H&R/M-Tech and 8,5" (ET34) with 235/35-19 rubbed like hell. Needed quite lot of negative camber to clear the wheel arch. Now I have 225/35 and no problems.

Also have 10" ET41 in the rear with 265/30 and its all good. Tried 3mm spacers one time, and it touched a little on the arch when pushing it.

Have in mind that different brands/types of tires have different width. For example my Michelin PSS are wider than the Nankang NS-II I had on my E91. same width wheels.

Thanks chaps.

Apologies for thread hijack, but serious concaviousness going on at the rear there
