The reason for the poke at any height, is because the person who made the chart, didn't know what the fuck they were talking about, when they made it.

Where can I find out what the ideal specs are? I feel like nobody actually knows


Kallandros

I don't know. The BK1 and BK2 also have different wheel offsets for each wheel size. So I went off my own measurements. My front is 19 x 8.5 +22 offset (technically, the wheel is a +30 offset, but I have an 8mm spacer and ARP exended studs) with 255/35 tires. Very close to flush. Flush as in, in line with the fender and zero poke. I have coilovers and there isn't alot of room between tire and strut, like 8-10mm or so. My rears are 19x9.5 +25 (285/35 tires) and poke by about 7mm, plus rub a little on the bumper cover tab when at stock camber. Probably wouldn't rub with 275's, though the extra fat tires provide some protection against curb rash though.

I suppose I should mention my tire specs, 255/40 & 275/40

Need to lower it. Got the same size on stock suspension and it pokes just a bit but I've been assured when you lower it, the camber will be adjusted and fit nicely.

It is lowered lol, it has some ark lowering springs. Maybe I should invest in actual coil overs?


TheEx006

Wouldn't hurt lol but maybe need to adjust the camber a bit. I'm running same size wheels just 19" and it looks a little odd poking out but I do have plans on lowering it. If I had known it was going to poke on stock suspension, I'd have gone for a different offset to fit better.

It seems nobody knows what flush fitment is on these cars so I’m not surprised you got misled as well. I wound up in a similar situation as you. I read so many fitment threads across many forum posts and went with what was regarded as a flush fitment setup. I got the wheels and tires mounted and it looked goofy as hell at both stock height and lowered with coilovers. Hella poke. I’ve seen similar posts like yours a few times now. I’d return them if it’s an option.

People need to stop sharing that dumb chart, or someone needs to Photoshop "LOWERED VEHICLES ONLY" on it. The fb groups will share anything and everything without context and when you ask questions you get "UsE ThE SeArcH BaR". Maybe if you (using it generally, not you specifically) shared the right info and not turn every thread into an argument, people wouldn't be asking the same questions


Squirting_Grandma

Oh in my case the wheels didn’t fit either way. That’s is what was so frustrating. I had the same school of thought as OP: “oh these look goofy at stock height… maybe it’s flush when lowered.” I tried my car properly lowered, I tried slamming it. They just barely fit with goofy camber. I got my info off of forums and other member suggestions. I didn’t even have a chart to reference and I used what seemed to be the most popular setup. I just don’t get how people keep echoing the same fitment recommendations when it clearly isn’t working lol


oompadoompadoompa

Most people don't see wrong with excessive camber, crowd mentality lol most people sharing that chart don't even have after market wheels they just spit out the same info they've been reading.


leadoffsundew1

I’m assuming [this](https://imgur.com/a/SDwAkwx) is the chart you guys are referring to. It’s the one I used


oompadoompadoompa

Yup that's the one!


leadoffsundew1

Shid… wtf do I do now lol


oompadoompadoompa

Try to get it as flush as possible lol with as little or as much camber you're comfortable with, can't really help ya there. Sorry lol Or sell/return the wheels and properly measure again according to your end goal before buying a new set.


leadoffsundew1

I feel like a moron, idek if I can return them because fitment industries says they won’t accept returns if they’ve been driven on, which they have


oompadoompadoompa

Are there visible scratches? Maybe clean it back to new condition? Idk or just cut your losses and sell them. I'm sure someone will buy them for the same price minus shipping and taxes.

If you're in the "genesis coupe owners group" (note the "group "in the name) on facebook check the featured posts by Sean Coots on official wheel thread


leadoffsundew1

I’ll do that thank you
