need help on 19 inch wheel and tires.......
hi guys........i am getting 19 inch rims next week, but i am kind of confused. Hope you guys can give me a hand.
my coupe is lowered a bit with Brabus spring.
1. if you use 19x8 wheel all around, will the rear look tuck in or it's okay and should i use 225 or 235 tires? coz there was a post saying that the 235 front will rub the wheel well. i am afraid it will happen.
2. if i use staggered setup with x9 rear, should i use 255 or 265 tires? will 265 rub my fender coz i lowered my car?
3. when getting 19 inch ...... is it stupid getting same size all around instead of using staggered setup? i know this is personal judge...but i am very ****.....can't make decision!
you can see that i am stucked.......since there isn't any good 19 inch tires with 225 front and 255 rear. i don't want to getting 235 front and 265 rear and then having problem with both front and rear.....it will cost more....and kind of stupid!
Thanx for all your input!!!!!! ^^

I use 235/35 for the front and my wheels are 8 in width, no rubbing at all when my car was lowered 30 mm.
Regarding the rear with 9 width, you can go 255/30 if you afraid of rubbing, i use 265/30 and the offset of my wheels are 24 and yes it rubbed the fender (with 30mm lowered), one way to avoid it is to fully rolled your fender lips. Fat rear tyre is just for show, i think 245 should be enough
I use Yokohama and it is quite good, but has a fat sidewall. Get Falken instead cos they have the thinnest sidewall and may not rub the fender.
Personally, i will choose a staggered setup, it will give your car a mean look
, by the way, what wheels are u buying??
