Default New Wheels and Tires

Currently in the market for new wheels and tires.
I own the 2017 XE 35T R-Sport AWD.

front setup is - 19x7.5 with 44.5mm offset
tires - 225/40/r19
rear setup is - 19x8.5 with 55mm offset
tires - 255/35/r19


Will I be able to put the same diameter rim all around - 19x8.5 and use the same tire to keep my ratio the same?
Will 255/35/r19 fit upfront?

No problem. I put on 19x8.5” all around. I think the offset was 39 and I run 255/35-R19 all around with no rub or clearance issues. It’s a pretty aggressive look and the tread is right at the edge of the fender on top. I do get water thrown down the sides now though in the rain. The rear is perfect. I still don’t think I’ll have any issues if I lower it with coil overs.

They are MRR Design FS-01 flow forged wheels. I contacted MRR and they referred me to one of their top dealers,Element Wheels in Chandler, AZ. The FS-01’s are custom made to order from blanks with a ton of finish options. They take about two weeks from the time you order.
