tire size recommendation?
19x9.5 +45 (for now ill probably get spacers)
all around
rear im thinking 275/35 and front 245/40 i believe overall i should have ~25" height..
also considering 275/30 and 245/35
looking to purchase saturday so any help would be appreciated ...thanks
also just a little insight, i really like nice wide tires for the performance look..so i really want the 275 in the rear but would like some insight/clarification on how this will fit etc,...as of right now i have 18"s on the car with 225/45 in the front , im on non tt suspension how ever driver side sits lower until i get some coil overs..i have about a 1finger gap with the tires on there now driver side..
thanks for the help.

so im looking at some 18s 9.5/10.5 +30 all around, i know i can run 235/40 front and 275/40 rear but could i run one size larger, 245/40 and 285/40 with out any issue. all fenders rolled flat and dropped on coils.
OR, if i can run a 235/40 tire on a 9.5 +22 up front with out any rubbing issues id rather runn that instead and still run the 10.5 +30 in the rear.
ohh also since some tires run slightly larger than others, im looking at either some bfg kdws, nitto nt555 or invoes, maybe some potenzas depending on the sizes available and prices.
thanks in advanced guys

I have 18x9 1/2 with 275/35/18 back and 18x8 1/2 with 265/35/18 front, 35 offtet. I want to change the front tires down to a 255 or 245 cause the steering feels weird now. It feels like it grabs every crack in the road and it pulls it hard. The back fenders I will need to get rolled.

don't forget ball joints, tie rod ends and bushings too... they are all affected by lower offsets and wider wheels...
