Default Rear tire size?

You really cant go with anything else because with a 225-40 -18 tire in the front you have to run a 255-35-18 on the rear that way the rolling diameter isn't off. Its like if you run a 235-35-19 you have to run 265-30-19 on the rear not 275, with a 275 on the rear you need a 245 up front. I hope you understand where Im getting at.

Should the 235/35/19's fit on even if lowered with the tababee super down springs(2inch drop)? I really want 19's but i don't want the headaches, what kind of work was involved in getting them on wheelguy? Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

Post 235-35-19 Tires

If the car is lowered 2" all around I would use a 215-35-19 or 225-35-19 all around maximum width. Even the 235's will rub hard
