Default Two Questions

What is the smallest tire size I can run on a 19x9, and what is the smallest tire size I can run on a 19x10? I am pretty sure that I can fit a 225 40 on the 19x9 and a 245 40 on the 19x10? Is this ok?

Thanks in advance.

there is no such thing as "vip tire". only that some people they put stretch tire setup on their car as the "vip standard", which i have never read the definition before. it's more like a trend i suppose

it's like for 8.5, 245 is the best tire setup but you put on 225 instead

thanks rominl
what i meant by vip style tire, i was speaking in terms of tread design (making up my own terms)
i do plan to run a stretched tire.. i think my friend has 215s and his 19x9 and 235s and is 19x10 boyds, but i dont know his sidewall

hey greg,
i posted that pic a while back with the AC wheels for another member. Correct me if im wrong, but those look like the older bridgestone S-02 tires. Could be wrong.... but it looks like it.
