What would be a better tire setup for:
F 19x8.5 32
R 19x10 38



F 225 35 19
R 265 30 19

or

F 235 35 19
R 275 35 19

I'm planning a drop on H&R springs too!

I was gonna go with
F 225 35 19
R 265 30 19

If I go with this setup and drop on H&R, what would the finger gap be like?

Hi Guys...I just read 30+ pages and still can't get a firm conclusion of what I should get.

I just purchased Vossen VVS 085

20X9 38+ offset

20x10.5 45+ offset

I don't want to rub when turning and don't want to rub in the rear.

I was suggested by the vendor I purchased the rims from to go with a 245/30R/20 fronts and 285/25R/20 rear. Why 30R in the front and 25R in the rear? Should I just stay with 30R all around? I dont want issues with my speedometer.

The vehicle is currently on stock springs, but looking to get the SKL90-AUB00 TEIN S-Tech Lowering Springs which will lower the vehicle approximately a 1.6 front and 1.1 rear inch drop or should I get the Eibach Front 1.0 in drop and Rear 0.8in drop


I have never purchased rims on a car or lowered a vehicle so this is all new to me. I need to purchase tires by tomorrow.

Please suggest tire sizes so I wont rub and not really get a stretched tire look which also increases rim damage should I hit a pot hole .

Thanks for your time and input!

The 245/30 is your best bet in the front. This will avoid any "stretched" look and will minimize rubbing. The rear size recommendation is also correct. The 285/25 works, personally I went with 275/30 which are still a good match for the stock tire size.

Finally pulled the trigger on some rims. I went with the 19" CV1 with the F-Sport Springs and Stock Shocks(might get the F-Sport Springs in the future.)

First thing I have to say is thank you all who have posted your pictures and DIY's, they have all come in handy.

And so here is my baby I call her "The Obsidian Order" I've been working on her sense day one, but just now finally decided on what shoes to get her.
19" CV1
Potenza 760
F 235/35/19
R 275/35/19

The ride is not that much different then my original stock springs and 18's.
But I do wish I had gone with the
F 235/30/19
R 275/30/19

There is a slight rubbing issue when I pull in to a parking spot or my driveway. The scrubbing comes from my front wheel, but I think I might know why. I think the tire is ever so slightly hitting the inside liner of the fender, going to have to trim or push it in a bit.
But never the less I am happy with the look and feel.
With that said here are some pictures of "the Obsidian Order"
Please ask any questions, as I'm more then pleased to answer any.
