Front: 19 x 8.5 et 32
Rear: 19 x 10 et 25

Im on stock ZCP e92 suspension. Know the wheels are fine but tires seem agressive. This going to be OK??

Should be fine. Front isn't an issue at all. Might get some very minor rub with those rears but I still doubt it.

You went from ZCPs to LMs too, I remember when you switched because otherwise we had same cars. What rear tire size did you run? And what suspension were you?

Your rear wheel setup is 2mm off stock ZCP (et 27 for ZCP vs. et 25 for your LM). People here run 10-12mm spacers on ZCP rears with 275/35/19 tires. Meaning there is zero rubbing on lowered cars using a 10" wide, 15-17 offset rim and a 275 tire.

Now you're adding 20mm more tire, effectively 10mm on the outer side and 10mm on the inner side; while keeping the wheel 10mm more inwards

Your proposed setup will sit virtually identical to what so many here run without issue on lowered cars. Stock height should be more than fine.

ZCP is same rear spec (10 et25)

They will fit but I would not recommend a 295 on a 10" wheel. It will work but far from ideal. I wouldn't want anything less than 10.5" and ideally 11" with a 295

Front is more conservative than stock offset. You will likely want a front spacer

Agree with slicer. 295 on a 10" wheel is not a great idea. Stick with 275 or maybe 285. Why do you need so much more rear tire?

Used set of rims/tires so I’d be locked in unfortunately.

Can you just pull off the rear tires and get something different?
