Question Will this fit/tuck?

I'm looking @ buying some wheels and need to know if this will clear. Has anyone done this setup yet? I have set of 225/40-19's for the front and I'm not sure what tire size for the rear. I'd like to go with that stretch tire look to help the tuckage. I'm also on air suspension. 19x9+24 19x10+37 5x114.3

the rears will definitely be sunken in. imo 225/40/19 will look a bit big, sidewall wise.

yeah you can tuck those with ease. use your 225/40s in the rear and get a pair of 225/35s for the front for the stretch

+37 is nothing. you can just shave fenders and run full tires with that offset.

if you add a 15mm spacer, then run 235/35s in the back. You can still get away with 245/35s in the back. I would not recommend 40 series sidewall unless it's a 9.5/10.5 setup.

You could go lower on offsets since you on air. Do it right the first time so you'll save some money in the long run.
