19" fat tire set-up question
Hey everyone, I plan on purchasing some wheels with tires. I do like the fat tire set-up for 19" wheels (even though they look uglier) since I do commute on crappy freeways and daily drive my GS. However, fitment is kind of iffy.
Here's the specs for the wheels and tires. Fronts are 19x8.5 et +21 mounted on 245/40/19 Falken FK451. Falkens are more square than compared with other brands huh? My friend has an Eastwood roller so we're definitely going to use that to help out with fender clearance. I've already taken off the front fender black metal liners since they've been mangled from a few big dips, etc.
Do you think the tires will clear if I do a good roll? I know it's a bit fatter than 245/35/19. Or am I better off just buying 225/40/19 or 235/40/19?
I would love to try and use the tires already mounted already since they do have ~90% tread left.
Let me know your thoughts!
