i like it... and love stretched tires.
Looks so much better than the 'balloon-around-wheel' look most people on here got going on.

Your car looks great, sucks you change tires over other people's opinions.

woah, not true at all. i did like the look for a little bit. but it just wasn't practical. in order to pull off that look lower would have been a must and i wasnt trying to do that. My stock lip already hates me.

So I need some help!
i kept the rear tires(225/35/19) and moved them to the front wheels. Now im scared that if i get 245/35s for the rear it will rub because of my ride height. when i had the stretched tires on i still rubbed up front. Since then tho i got my tabs pushed up and cut away some of my fender liner, and replaced the fender bolt with a ziptie. i still rub sometimes in the front on my stock 18s and am worried that i will a lot more with the 19s on. Is my last resort taking a hear gun and jacking up my fender liner some more? All my fenders are rolled not pulled.
What should i do? Will 245s work? Would i need more fender mods?
The weather is getting nice now and i really want to get these on. Please CL help a fellow isx50 get some proper fitment.

My 245's work but I shaved the majority of the rear fender lip with a body saw.

Dude that what i was thinking but when i had the 225 on my 10' rear wheels they needed a cheetah to put them on and it was a massive stretch. the lip poked out so much.

he ment the rim from the tire. but i like it. just wish your streets were better so you could slam that ish. but youll be good on a 235/35 i run a 245/35 at the momment, when i get my 19's i plan on runnin a 235/35 over a 9.5" and a 215/35 over an 8.5 and spacers. to sit better.

for you i just say go a little lower and youll be fly. i love the rim poke from the tire!
