Nice pics "Angel" lol

But if any guy were to name himself "DevilsAngel" and have a avatar of a girl's back side is probably a little strange lol...

Its true, you don't. I personally don't want to pay someone to do things that I can learn to do myself, or help the man with stuff. And I just like to know my car.

So I have a question...
Have any of you guys used 245/35/19 on your front wheels? If you have do they rub or not? What do you think?

I have 19's on the front w/ 235 35. 245 35 is only a cm wider overall. With my and my brother (225 lb each) and my gf and another passenger (another 250lb) mine doesn't rub EVER. And it's lowered on a #1 spring pad. You look quite a bit smaller than me. Unless you're lower than H&R, Bilstein, and #1 pad, i would guess it's ok, but no guarantees.

PS, who's that in your avatar??

Nah don't go for it, I'm not feeling the 245 idea much, I think it might rub and you def don't want that, stay with the 275 idea!

245/35 works fine in the front with the right offset (35), I wouldnt try it on a slammed clk tho.

i thought the problem with rubbin in front is when youre turnin the wheel...not so much a problem from the lowered ride height (esp in respect to wider tires up front).....i just didnt see how a wider tire would make it rub in respect to ride height....i can see it rubbin or comin close to rubbin as you're turnin the wheel tho ...my 225 up front even look like theyre gunna come close sometimes...

Real issues with our cars is the upper ball joint nut that almost all wheels come very close to. When your lowered, when turning the wheel it comes in contact with the fender lip and inner fender pieces, thats how it is on my car with a no finger gap in front lol.

For comparision, this was my car last year slammed on 19's, and this is it this year with 20's, but I took the springs out because I bottomed out all the time with this reiger lip now lol.

Do 275's in the rear!! I think they'll fit. The 245 seems a little sketchy tho.

oh ya 275s for sure. and ya don't think that i should do the 245s? do you know anyone who had a problem. i guess just best case is to look to see how much room i have cuz all in all it is less then a 1/2 wider right? I dunno tho. My bf swears that i will be fine, and he's effing smart when it comes to cars.

ok so you have experienced 245s in the front? is that what you had when you had your 19s on?

p.s. nice car. the wheels in the first pic look the best!!

I have the 235/35's (f) and 265/30's (r) but I can't wait to see what the 275/30's look like. Another big variable to the equation is the tire maker, and how their side walls lay out.

By the way... Portland just took a huge leap forward in the rankings of 'Best Cities in the World' thanks to you!!
