Default need recommendation on tire size *total noob question*

hi. i've been a lurker here for awhile and participated on group buys but hardly posted. i just purchased some AME SHALLEN CX. wheel size are 19x9 +24 in the front and 19x10 +28 in the rear. as of right now my 2IS is stock height but im about to drop it on some HKS hipermax III coilovers. the thing is that the wheels came with small tires which are really stretched due to the slam on the vechicle. i want to run wider tires.

any recommendation on tire size or max tire size without rubbing will be great. i will not be slammed. only decent drop since i live in the city *san francisco* which has to many hills

thanks in advance....

wow that is some serious offset.

You could slip on 225/35-19 for the front and 265/30-19 in the rear or something.

the fronts will end up 0.7% smaller in rolling diameter compared to stock 18's and the rears will be 0.5% smaller.

That's the closest I could figure =/

I suggest stretching the fronts because you might face rubbing issues. Especially if ur gonna slam it with the coils
