Is anyone here running a set of 19x11.5 up front? If so, what offsets are you using? If it's with the stock rear wheels, what size spacer did you run.

I’m running Bridgestone 325s on the stock front 11” rims and they fit perfect. Lots of guys running 325s on stock front rims on these cars

Running Conti 325's all the way around with zero issues. Extra lip protection up front!

D2M posted about running a square setup w/ a 5mm (?) spacer up front. I think FrenchSqaured had a square setup he was running for track too? (don't quote me here - I might be misremembering) but search both of their posts and you should stumble upon their setups.

I run the MPSS in 325 width on the stock 11 inch front wheels. The only thing I noticed was that while I lived in Dallas, I had the sidewall on both fronts bubble up. Did not occur on the rears with the 11.5 inch wide wheels. I'm not sure if it was the rough roads or the combination of the wider tire on the rough roads. The tires have been replaced since and the fresh fronts now have 4k on them and since then I've not seen the same issue. The 4k driven on the fresh fronts have been on smoother ohio roads though

With going with a wider front, when you measure the fronts it doesn't allow for much clearance on the inside so most of the half inch you're adding is going to stick out in the front. With 325s on the stock 11s itself the fronts stick out plenty not sure I'd like anymore sticking out.

How has going with 325's changed your speedo? Do you have to get it reprogramed for the taller tire?
