Hey guys
I got new rims and not sure what size tires to go with.
Please advise.
Front 19x8.5 Offset 35
Rear 19x9.5 Offset 22

what suspension are you on?

235/35/19 is fine in the front, but why such a conservative/typical +35 offset when your rears are a decent +22? I'd throw on a 10mm spacer and then run 225/35/19s.

rear tires sort of depend on how low you are, but a 245/35/19 in the rear will be aight if you're dropped low and have a fender roll. if you're stock sport suspension and fenders, you can throw on 265/30 or 255/35 but you'll rub on dips.

Stock suspension. But I am planning to get Eibach lowering springs

Go with a 235/35/19, 245 or 255/30/19.

bumere90 · 01-19-2013, 05:45 PM

so what is the difference between 255/35/19 and 255/30/19 ?

Srsly?

bumere90 · 01-29-2013, 09:56 PM

Would 265/30/19 fit in the rear?
