Default C7 square setup base wheels

I'm wanting to run 285 on all 4 corners with the 19" base model wheels.


Has anyone done this yet? Anywhere I can get 4 of the rear 19" base C7 wheels?

I thought about this too. I was told there is clearance issues in the front due to offset/dish.

lol yep that's what I was thinking would be the problem.


I was gonna run 285's for my wet track setup.

I'll probably just get some TSW nurburings or some other cheap set in 18.

I could probably repurpose one of my other 18" sets but they're staggered width.

I actually put the rears on the front just to try it out. It almost bolted up. A small 1/8"-1/4" slip on spacer is probably all that is needed. Not the safest thing in the world, and may even want to put a drop of thread lock on the lugs to help hold as you will reduce the threads holding. But they looked like they would fit okay.

Think it was just the brake caliper hitting the spokes IIRC. Other wise it looked like the suspension and what not all cleared the inner part of the tire.
