Looking to get the correct tire size to avoid any rubbing issues. Or any issues at all for that matter. The thicker the side wall the better for those potholes.

The car will be lowered on coilovers (likely BC Racing). Since it's a daily driver, will probably leave 1.5 finger space all around. Need to be able to clear speed bumps and driveways.

Wheels are 19 x 8.5 +30, 19 x 9.5 +35

Front tires: 235/35/19

Rear tires: Thinking about 255/35/19
But...what about 265/35/19

So..... 255/35 or 265/35 for the rear???

Thanks.

I would go 225/35 front and 255/30 rear... you'll be pretty safe with this

on stock suspension I have the 225/35/19 on the front and love it, didn't care for the 235/35/19... 275/35/19 on the rear and it rubs, so it might be too close for 265/35...

225/35 or 235/35 for the front and 245/35 or 255/35 for the rear.

So what is the best tire size for the Front and Rear?

225/35 245/35 or 255/35. Really depends how low you're gonna go, but that setup should be fine since it really isn't that aggressive. Roll your fenders just in case. ;P

Edit: jk. forgot that you're leaving 1.5 finger gap. Fender work ain't necessary.

^^^ Don't want any rolling of fenders
Just stock without any rubbing or fitment issues. Basically, what is the widest and thickest (side-wall) tires I can get without having to do any adjustments?

225/35-19 + 255/35/19.

Would the FRONT tires be too aggressive if I went with

235/35/19?

Will i have fitment and rubbing issues vs 225/35/19? Can will be lowered on coils just to remove some of the gap space, but not even close to slammed or tucked.

Run 225/35.
I was thinking of 235/35 at first and i'm glad i didn't because im tucked and I rub with a 19x8.5 with a 38mm offset.

Its a tiny stretch but its alot better than having the 235/35 and rubbing alot.

I think that 235/35 is probably going to rub. Look through the linea corse wheel thread. At first alot of guys ordering 19x8.5+30 for the fronts had rubbing issues when running 235/35 up front with moderate drops. 225/35 is a better option to keep from rubbing, and well within the 8.5 width spec.

Depends on your preferences.
8.5" and 9.5" wheel respectfully, the lip will stick out further than the tire. If you're not looking for that look, then 8.0" and 9.0" would be be more ideal since it sticks out a bit. Both cases, assuming stock sized tires.

^^^^^ Can someone post a pic of how much the lip will stick out on a 8.5 rim with a 225/35/19 tire??

THanks.

I have the same wheels specs as you.

19x8.5 +30 and 19x9.5 +35

Im running 235/35/19 up front and 265/30/19. NO rubbing whatsoever The rear has room to be slightly more aggressive or fit a larger tire
