I hate the stretch look.
i run 215/35-19 on a 19x8.5. daily driven.

225/35-19 will be safe.

F 19x8.5 off 35 235/35/19 lowered about 25.25 in from ground to top of fender
R 19x10.5 off 50 275/30/19 dont remember how low..

Had to raise the car.. fender work needed before lowering more..
Gonna have to roll rear fenders and rear should tuck..
Front rubbed on the tab that connects bumper to fender and the fender tabs.. shaved the bumper-fender tab and will roll the fender tabs in.. add a little negative camber then should be good to lower more.. wish the rims came with smaller/stretched tires.. but these will have to do until I can buy new tires..

^ +1.

Some people don't agree with the whole philosophy of making the car fit the wheels but there is a whole cult of people who hold this belief.

setup was 19x8.5 +35 and 19x10.5 +50 with 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 ...

After rolling the rear fenders and adding a slight pull and shaving a lil of the tab on the rear bumper and with a little bit of negative camber.. was able to get the tires halfway to 3/4 tucked without rubbing..

The front I shaved the tabs off, cut some of the fender lining, rolled and slight pull on the fender... still cannot drive low enough to tuck the tires in.. so had to raise it about 1 finger gap.. It also may be due to adding a front camber kit and adjusting when it was low.. then raising the car back up to fit the wheel and tire combo.. This may have added positive camber.. So I may need to put a bit more negative camber then I'll lower it more.. If that doesnt work and it still rubs, I'll try and go with 215/35/19's in front..

How about some 20 x8.5 225/35/20 and 20x9.5 245/35/20 +25 all around? Not wanting to mod too much, Do I need to run smaller tires?

I'm goin to be installing eibach pro kit
