Default Tire size recommendation

I'm in the process of purchasing a set of wheels. Measurements are f-19x8.5+43 and r-19x9+30. Car is dropped pretty low as well.

225/35/19 and 265/30/19 for max traction. The specs are conservative, so you're options are open; but the amount of the drop might affect the front rubbing some unless you've removed the liners or modded them. Natural camber (no camber arms) should tuck the rear with ease.

^Should be good-to-go then I'd think.

For that spec u don't need to do any fender work ur front offset is pretty high run 225/35 and 265/30 u might only rub fender liner but don't need fender roll or anything
