Tire suggestion needed
Well I have a set of 19" rims
fronts are 19x8.5 24 offset
rears are 19x10 40 offset
what tire size do you guys suggest? I have a chance to pick up a barley used set of (2) 255/35/19 Michelin PS 2 tires. Will this fit my rears or will it give a big strech?

I had 19x8.5/10.5 before...
...front I had 235/35 (good size, mild stretch) or if you want lip stretch 225/35... rear I had 275/30 but that's on a 1/2-inch wider wheel... for 10" I'd say maybe 265/30 (matches with the 235/35 up front), or 255 for lip stretch (matches the 225/35 up front)
EDIT: stretch factor depends on tire brand too... with Kumho's and General's, a 275 on a 10.5 gave me slight stretch, lip barely came out... but same wheel width with Toyo's looks good without being retarded stretched LOL =)

I've seen a 215 on a 10", so it just depends on how much of a stretch you're looking for, but with a +40 offset it will look weird, as there's no reason to stretch since most of the wheel will be inside the fender anyways

245 on a 10 is a bit stretched.
255 is really nice
265 is where its at
how are you rubbing with a 245? right now i have a 265/35/18 on a 18x10+22 in the front with no rubbing issues whatsoever.
that same size fits the rear like a glove as well. just do a proper fender roll. no pulling required.

Thats what I thought. I was worried about the back but they have a mild stretch to it that works perfect with a minor fender roll.
But the fronts are just not happening even with a fender roll. The tire is just too meaty. I think if I go with a 235/35/19 I should be golden. thank god I didnt buy brand new tires for this reason, I didnt want to have this issue.

Yeah I even raise the car up 2in and it does not sit right. Tires are the culprete. Once I change them it should fit like a glove. If I had 275 wide on the rears I would of had the same problem. 245 is perfect amount of streach.
without anyone sitting in the car im tucking more then half the sidewall in the rear. the front tire line is even with the fender line.
