5 x 114.3
19 x 8.5" , +22
19 x 9.5" , +25

I have the same wheel size and offsets except for the front (mines are +20) I'm running 225/35/19 '& 235/35/19 dropped on road magnets springs (2" drop) so far so good . I did not have to roll the fenders , I just had to heat the front fender liners.

Can anyone else chime in on what tire sizes I'd need to run this on an AWD? Or is 225/35/19 and 235/35/19 my only setup?

You can also use 225/35/19 & 255/30/19 or
225/35/19 & 265/30/19 but you might need to roll your rear fenders . It all depends how you low you want your car to be.

Front: 225/35/19 & rear 235/35/19 or
Front 225/35/19 & rear 265/30/19 or 255/35 you will need fender rolling.
Front 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 fender rolling required

i'm aiming to get BC racing coilovers and i wanted to drop it to about 1.5in all around. Possibly lower . Which of the ones you gave me would work best for the AWD system? Sorry, it's my first set of rims so i'm not good at all the numbers. Thanks for your help!

The ideal tire size for an awd is 225/35/19 & 265/30/19 with rolled rear fenders on a 1.5-2" drop. However, if you are going lower than 2" you need to run 225/35/19 & 235/35/19 with possibly fender rolling the rear. The lower you want to go the smaller tire you need with a +20 offset.

Closest tire size to OEM on a staggered set up like that would be 235/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear. Should be fine with a 2" drop, but with those offsets I think you'd need to stretch tires to avoid rubbing. Maybe 215/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear would also work in that case, but there's a little risk involved. 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 would be a happy medium.

Not sure if this has been covered already, but does anyone know if 19x9.5 +35 all around will fit fine on my AWD?

I have a question related to the one above... is anyone running 19x9 +36 (235/35/19) and 19x10.5 +42 (275/30/19) and lowered about 2"? I plan on rolling my rear quarters, but will have rubbing issues in other places? IE tire to shock body, tire to bumper tabs, rubbing up front?

so a 225/35/19 and a 265/30/19 would be ok or would a 215/35/19 and a 255/35/19 be better

Oooops I was wrong, actually the 215 and 255 would be easier to fit, and with that setup you're running about 1.25 percent larger than the OEM specs. With the 225 and 265 you're running about 2.5 percent bigger than OEM spec.

It seems the info I got might be wrong.. either that or I misread it earlier. Don't do 235 and 275, that's more than a 3 percent difference in OEM tire specs.
