i put on my LE's 19 8.5 and 9.5 +22 all around, 225/35 and 245/35. I didn't put coils on yet and im on s-techs and had my fenders rolled. my front left tire is rubbing when i turn left (not even at full lock, maybe 3/4 turn). i found out its rubbing against the very inner well. anyone have this problem? rubbing is where the yellow circle is.

^i had this issue on stock rims and coils lol, but you can definitely get skinnier tires...215/35 235/35...you can even get away with 205/35 (if these even exist lol i don't really know my tires) and 225/35

Heat with a heat gun, then push it in.... let cool.... repeat if necessary.

215/35-19's up front might help.

compared to 225/35-19's, 215's are ~1/4" shorter.

It's about time I joined the club ;P



19x9 +11 (215/35)
19x9.5 +18 (225/35)

I'm running a 5mm spacer on the rear, thinking of getting a bigger one.

What do you boys think?
