I'm running Japan Racing JR28 19x9.5J ET35 and 10.5J ET40.
For front I have 10mm spacers and rear 5mm (final ET front 25 and rear 35)

Even with 10mm spacers I sometimes can hear the front tire rub against the strut when reversing and doing full lock. But the touch is very minimal.

I got 245/35 Michelin Pilot Pa4 in front and 295/30 Dunlop Winter Sport3D rear. The fitment is perfect with stock height and I'd say it's flush with fenders. Ideally I would prefer the front wheels couple of mm inside but with this tire it's not possible.




BTW, if anyone needs Japan Racing wheels in Europe, feel free to PM me and I can get you a really really good deal.

Nice setup! loving the quad pipes!

I guess 255 / 35 will definitely have rubbing issues considering I'm running 8mm spacers? Is 40 series tyres possible on the fronts?

Thank you!
