19x9 +27 w/ 235/35 - Clear okay??
Hey guys,
I have my wheels here and can't decide what tyres to use up front. I would prefer to go less stretch up front for two reasons, firstly to minimize risk of damaging the wheels, and secondly the wider tyre will let me get the highest load rating (closer to stock load rating).
I am looking at Nexen N3000, or maybe Nankang NS2 tyres.
Front wheels are 19x9 +27, so i am wondering if a 235/35 will clear okay? i am happy to remove/modify the guard liner and roll the front lip flat (or trim if necessary i guess).
Anyone know if the 9j +27 with 235/35 will clear okay or will it give me more headaches than its worth? Would 225/35 be a smarter choice.
cheers for any input people, its doing my head in and i want to try and get tyres in the next couple of weeks!

it depends on ur ride height..if ur tryna tuck ur tires like me..i would suggest 225..its not that much of a stretch as u may think..and a roll would be good..a pull if u want..but not necessary

hm cheers guys. well looking at my car tonight the front isnt quite tucking but i might lower it a little bit more when i get the 19s on so it tucks...
i will probably go with Nexen N3000 i think as i can get them a bit cheaper and i think theyre both prety much the same as one another.
haha damn so im still up in the air...!
