CCW Wheels and Fitment

I'm looking for some info from the fitment guru's. I have used the search function but I need specific information for my car. I'm looking to order some CCWs 19x10 front 19x11 rear. My sedan is lowered on springs and I'm looking to run hankook v12s.

I'm guessing a 275/35, 285,295/35 rear. Or close to that combo. I'm looking for a flush fitment with the fender. No poke, tuck, none of that nonsense. For those who can make recommendations on offsets for both front/rear wheels would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Et25 to Et17 front for 275's
Et25 rear for 295's
30-series tires for 19" wheels.

Get some Yokohama AD08's or Michelin PSS tires. V12's are mediocre.

Why not go 19x10.5 and 19x12, similar to this CCW setup:

Because those wheel widths are completely impractical and useless if you actually care about performance ^

Thank you!

My first choice of wheels is LM's but I don't wanna be driving around on reversed lips for the proper ET.

As everyone knows tire sizes are just as important as part of the process. I know PSS are great tires but I don't like the look of the sidewall as it takes away from the wheel. I don't wanna go with too much stagger F/R and I'm clearly not looking to fit the biggest tire possible.

You wanna "camber" your 10k VW go ahead. That looks ridiculous on a 70K M3.

BBS LM is actually available in reasonably appealing sizes / offsets - reversing the lips is not at all necessary. It's available in 19 x 10" et25 and 9.5 et32 - both of which would work great for the front (et32 wheel would be best with a 12mm spacer) with 275/30/19 tires. The 10" et 25 wheel would get tough to fit if you install coilovers that reduce inner clearance (like KW's). Then there is 19 x 11" et25 for the rear which would be great with 295/30/19 tires and no spacers.

I dont wanna run BBS with spacers. Kind of defeats the purpose.

BBS LM
19x10 et25 275/30/19
19x11 et25 295/30/19

No spacers required - unless you install a coilover that reduces inner clearance in the front.

Potential suspension setups would be KW v3 or clubsport 2way. Either one would be an issue?

You would need 10" et18 to clear the KW clubsport springs with most 275's (there is lots of variation between tire brands, some get away with et20 and some tires require et15). I swapped to shorter springs to solve the KW inner clearance issue (there is a thread in the suspension section with more details). I ran et25 after the spring swap without rubbing issues with the widest tires I have ever seen (BFG Rivals).

Thanks for all your insight! Much appreciated.
