Hi just after a bit of help as from looking on the internet so far I seem to be reading mixed results.
I'm looking at getting a set of OEMS strom alloys which are 19 inch 8.5J with 225 35 tyres and ET 45.
My car is lowered on eibach storyline springs which from what I remember lowers the front 30mm and rear 40mm I think.
Will the alloys and tyres in question with that offset and size fit okay with no rubbing issues ?
Cheers for any help that can be given is much appreciated

I have 19x8,5" ET45 with 225/35-19 tires...
Lowered on coils. Vheck link for pictures! Have little camber rear to not rub and rolled fenders in front...

How much are you lowered by on your coils ?

As a reference, BBS VZ are a really nice fit, I'm 30mm down but would handle a much bigger drop no problem.
Have a look here, I've put in the VZ measurements against your 19s, and it comes out pretty much identical...

In short, go for it.
