Default L-Tuned and 19" setup

I'm waiting for my 19" wheels with 275/40/19 and 275/35/19 tires on it. I took this recommendations based on some threads that I read. In Newport Beach and the area I work at have crappy roads. I was hoping if you guys could help me on this. Should I get the L-tunes suspension setup? Am I going to have some rubbing if I install this. Or should I go with coilovers?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

i have a little rubbin when i have a bunch of ppl in the car.. and when i turn the wheel all the way.. no big deal. i have the ltuned.. u can look at it 2 ways.. if u get the ltuned u have more room for rebound.. but since the r not as stiff as most coilovers u kinda bounces which causes it to rub.. good luck

rubbing will depend on the wheel sizes (width) and offsets. Post this info if you know it.

Thank you for your input. I would like to know if you have remedied it or left it alone?

The wheel size is 19x8+40F and 19x10+45R.

you will not rub with your setup. Coilovers are a good choice if you want adjustability. Otherwise you can't go wrong with L-Tuned.

The offsets are perfect but 19x8 is a little too narrow in the front. 245/40/19 on 19x8 is kind of "fat" setup. It's a little taller than stock diameter. You should go with 19x8.5.
