Hi Guys,
Have picked up a set of 19" Cargraphics (8.5 x 19 and 11.5 x 19)
Tyres are 245-30-19 and 305-25-19.
I will be lowering the car quite low on KW-V3s
My question is - will I need to roll the arches?

Probably depends on a couple things. Offsets of the wheels and how low you are going? I run the same front size and my car is very low, the right front tire rubs very slightly when I hit a bump in a turn. When I ran 305's in the rear on 11's, the right rear rubbed very slightly and my fenders are rolled. I now run 315 in the rear and there is more clearance due to the shorter tire diameter.

if you are close, it will also depend on how much camber you are running and the brand of tire - not all tires of the same size have the same actual dimension

Thanks for all the replies guys, I guess its a trial and error case, but I think I should be ok looking at the responses above.
That Ruf looks pretty low, and has wider tyres on - with no rubbage.

98C4S,
As Bradford mentioned, there is also the issue of overall tire height (as well as width) that can cause rubbing. My tires are very "short"... almost the same as the stock 18" tires in height.

The hoosier 275/35 zr18 R6's have a 10.9" section width. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cups in 265/35 zr18 also have 10.9" section width.
When going from MSPC to Hoosiers, I told my mechanic to order the 275's and he said they wouldnt fit. I said order them and try... and they fit exactly the same.

Again, it's the correct offset and ride height (and camber as dbf73 said). Steve has the same wheels as me but his car sits 1-1.5 inches higher so he can use the wider front tires.
