Post What tires should I run?

I have Work VS-XX and my current specs are: 19x8.5 +40 on 235/35 19x10 +48 on 275/30. I am dropped on BuddyClub coils and my rear fenders are rolled.

I was wondering what tires I should run and do I need spacers to make it more aggressive?

Depends on the look you are going for. A year ago 8.5 +22 and 9.5 +22 were considered flush fitment. But since the entire hellaflush movement started a lot of people going past flushness and poking a little.

You could add anywhere from a 15 to a 20mm. Keep in mind while those tires will work with your current wheels adding spacers will force you to get stretch your tires, so i wouldnt buy tires. Until you find out what size spacer you will be running.

Tire sizes are fine, please don't make the mistake of getting FK452 junk tires.
