Can't tell from the Dinan site if this would require spacers or not.

I don't think that they would require spacers, the wheel should only protrude out 6.3 mm on each side. http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php...h=8&offset2=45

Many people want a more aggressive stance, that would be the reason for spacers.

this too close to the strut for the rear? (I have RWD all season tires, so it's not a staggered setup)

No

My understanding is the BBS requires 5mm spacers in the front to clear the suspension. The rear don't require spacers.

I'm running 19x8.5et39 19x9.5et44 with a 235/265 setup. No rubbing, stock suspension. Dropping would definitely rub the backs though. Front might rub but could roll the fender to fix that. Front on mine has minimal clearance (maybe 2-4mm) from the suspension. Rear has a decent amount of space still.

The CI-R wheels are 6.3 mm closer to the strut than stock without spacers.

This calculator shows your wheels would be 6.7 mm closer to the strut than stock.

So the strut clearance should be almost the same.

You're right, I looked back where I thought I saw it and the guy was running 8.5s not 8s on the front with et45. He needed the spacer.

[Tano22]

Welp. Pulled the trigger on the CI-R (black). They should get in in a couple weeks.

19x8 et45 front
19x9 et48 rear.

I'll go 235/35-19 in the front and 265/30-19 in the rear.

The combo 19x8.5ET35 and 19x9.5ET40 is probably the best looking, but it requires some camber adjustements.

I have tried BBS CH in 19x9.5ET40, as the car is my daily I don't want to modify the camber or I don't want any rubbing.

Dude, what tyre size are you running on the rear??

265 r19, I don't remember the height but probably 35

[Tano22]

Just got them in. Now just need tires and mounting.

[Kasteel]

I have these on order as well. I've ordered Michelin Pilot 4 S tires in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. They are schedueled to be delivered the first week of March. I can't wait to get bigger rubber under this car. The nanny constantly works overtime with the current stock tires.

[Tano22]

Update: Bought the tires. Michelin Pilot Sport 4s
235/35/19
265/30/19

Waiting for the shipment to arrive. No idea when that will be.

Update, i think someone else was in the same boat as me with respect to waiting for these tires. Just spoke with Tirerack and unfortunately, looks like the earliest Michelin will be getting the tires to Tirerack is 3/24. The wait continues.

Yep, mine are on the same schedule. I'm having them mounted and balanced before delivery. I hope that isn't a mistake, they have the latest touchless equipment.

Apparently the 265s are available now from Tire Rack at one of their warehouses, just not the one in Nevada where mine are being mounted and balanced for free. So if you are just ordering tires your wait is probably over. I have to wait till the 25th :-(

My availability date changed to 3/9/17, so maybe mine are being shipped from that warehouse you speak of. Here's hoping that tomorrow I get a shipment notification.

When I called them they said that 6 were already spoken for and they were getting 10. Yours were probably part of the 6. Do you plan to use 5mm spacers in the front or leave them as is? Some people have said that they are necessary, but I've done the calculations and I think that there is plenty of room in the front. Without the spacers, the scrub radius is perfect.
