Default HELP! Work VS-XX fitment

Hello everyone!

I am on airlift 3P suspension... I have 19” work VS-XX step lip wheels coming In next week and have some questions concerning ideal tire sizes...
Set is Medium Disk.
F: 19x9 +38, Pairing with 15mm spacer. So offset would be around +26.
R: 19x10 +38, I also plan to run up to -3.5 degrees of camber to have it sit flush for when I air out.

If anyone could chime in it would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum!

Assuming that you'll want the smallest and safest tires for fitment, then you would be looking at 225/35/19 on the front and 265/30/19 on the rear.
You may want to consider a 10mm spacer for the front at most...which would bring your front offset to +28.
A +38 with a 15mm spacer will bring it to +23, which is going to be too aggressive...especially if you plan to air out all the way.

In reality the spacer doesn't change the offset of the rim, it just changes the dimensional space on the vehicle the wheel would occupy if it was made with the offset.

I was looking at 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 paired with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires... would that be fine?

That should be fine...the Firehawk's are a narrow tire.
