Wheel offset + tires help?
Fronts : 19x8.5 offset 20
Rears: ! 19x9.5 offset 35
The company i got the wheels told me the best size tires to fit my car are
fronts: 225/35/19s
rears: 235/35/19s
This is because i wanted to run 35s on my car. Then I hit up discount Tires to pick up some rubbers, and they told me that size is not heavy enough to carry the weight of the my car. I could do it but it wont be save. and looking at the fact That I could get up to a buck, maybe more if I had to I probably dont wanna run 35s if it aint save in that size. so Instead Im doin
40s. now my question is what would be the widest size I can run in the rears cuz im not sure if 235s would give or keep traction when Im lunch. Can you please help me figure out whats the biggest I could go in the rears.. i need to run the 225s in the front without rubbing when im making turns. what should I run?

Discount tire just doesnt approve of stretching tires. I think you were right to choose a 35 series tire for the 19s. Hell, the sizes you listed will fit ok... buuuut you could always try a wider tire so that it doesnt stretch so much. Maybe 235/35/19 front and 245 or 255/35/19 rear. Just make sure they are properly inflated and swerve for potholes.

I got it all figure out ya'll I suppose the dude that was helping me was new @ the job. I called today and spoke to a real expert and the right sizes are
265/30/19 rears
235/35/19 fronts.
Sucks that I have to send the tires back to discount direct and will be spending a little more but I'm sure its worth it. I wanna drive my car lol!!

that should get you a close to flush look from tire to rim
this is on a 9.5" rim:
Falken FK-452
on a 8.5" rim:
falken ZE-502
the reason why i said the name brand, is cause all tires, even tho sized the same, will fit different.
I have some 245/40R18's at work, that are taller overall and wider than the 265/30's on there now. and they're a offbranded house brand tire, (no name)
so those sizes in a decent name brand tire should get the tire flush with the lip of the rim ( or damn close)
