Anyone running 9.5 upfront?

Just curious to see if anyone is running aftermarket wheels with 9.5" wide upfront. Or would it be too wide?

What's the offset?

I'm running a x9" up front with a 255 +32.

I'm contemplating running 19x9.5 +22 with a square setup. Not sure of the tire size yet but off the bat I'm thinking 245/40 or 255/35. Let me know your thoughts!

If anyone else is running a 9.5 width upfront, share experience and pics please!

I'm running 19x9.5 square setup. 40 is the offset. In order to clear the strut I had to run 10mm spacers in the front but it fits quite nicely.
Could use 10mm spacers in the rear as well just to make it a bit more aggressive.

Not what you are asking but for what it's worth - I'm running a 19x9 ET20 on the front with a 255/35/19

Thanks guys.

I was contemplating running a square setup with 19x9.5 +22 but I've figured out my setup and will be running staggered instead of square!

was trying to run 19x9.5 +22 square set but should not clear the front without installing a spacer, end up going with staggered, wait 3 months for my new wheels to arrive

We may be on the same path. My wheels won't come in for 3 months either.

So it's kinda weird, I have a ton of relationships in the industry because I used to work at Nissan North America. Jesus, its been like 11 years since I left? Time flies. I went through my friend at Mackin Industries who is the sole distributer for Rays Engineering in the U.S. so I'm getting pricing at their cost. Been working with him and Rays directly on fitments for G20 and decided to order a set of TE37SL in 19x9.5 +23 and 19x10.5 +34. If Rays didn't get back to him in time, I almost ended up ordering 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22 with 5x114.3 PCD's drilled out to 5x112, lol. It would have definitely worked as they did this on a new Supra but I'm glad we waited and got guidance from Rays before ordering, lol.

What did you end up ordering?

i was about to order the same setup too lol, but i talk to one of the rays vendor in SoCal, he told me that it's hard to tell if the front will clear or not, i ended up order gram lights 57fxz overseas, TE37SL is my first choice but Rays only made A90 Supra spec, and i don't want to buy it without test fitting, thats why i go for the safe route, but if your's going to fit, i may going the same route with you lol

I'm running 19x9 square +20 in the front and +25 in the rear. The setup sits pretty darn flush without poke (to my eye) but I've been looking at it thinking I could grab some spacers and bump my fronts to +15 and my rears to +20.

The reason I share this is because your specs helped out - if I ran those spacers I just mentioned I would be 2mm out on the front and the same as you in the rear vs your rays that are on order. Granted wouldnt have that beautiful width you're going to have but at least I would be sitting just as flush

Thanks again for the specs - offset is so critical to these discussions

:-)

Nah no updates. TBH, probably won't be installing them until Spring 2021. NYC winters get nasty and the wheels won't get to me until January 2021 anyways. I'm also still waiting on Dinan to release their lowering springs so I can get it all done at once. Can't stand the look of aftermarket wheels with aggressive fitments and not being lowered. If Dinan doesn't release in time I'll have to go with H&R.

When are you installing your set?

Ahh so you have an M340i, I have an M330i xDrive so it may be a while for me. If Dinan doesn't have anything for my car by March 2021 I may have to just go with H&R.
