I've got 225/35/19 Continental DW tires on 19x8.5 Avant Garde M310 front wheels. It's a very slight stretch, so the rim face overhangs ever so slightly further than the tire sidewall. Just have to be careful when laying the wheels down when rotating.

The main reason I went with 225/35 instead of 235/35 was the ridiculous closeout pricing for the 225/35 version of the tire. I was also a little worried about possible rubbing at full lock, but it'd be pretty minor if anything.

How much wheel lip is sticking out on your current setup? What kind of tires are you running?
Mine looks similar to binhster's in the front, but its a little more sunken in the back from the side of the fender since I'm on a square setup for AWD. Like the other guys said, its the rim is just slightly sticking out more than the tires and the tires are VERY lightly stretched. I'm on continental dw. They're on closeout sale at tirerack for $109 a piece! (and a free nook e-reader book).

I'm on Megan EZ Coilovers. Basically all coilovers can achieve this look, but Megan EZ coilovers are the most budget friendly and stockish comfortable feel. In fact, I thought my car was more comfortable than my sister's stock RWD is250 (just my opinion of course)

I wish those tires were still on sale, looks like they are sold out now!

They are available still. I got mine at tires-easy.com for $114 shipped per tire. They're about $14 more now. Link here
