help finding tires
Hi, i recently purchased a set of Enkei GTC01 rims size 19" x 8.4 +42 for my CU2, and the tires they came on were 245/35/19. I'm not really liking the fitment of the wheels at stock hight so I was wondering if getting bigger tires (preferably 245/45/19s) would be a good idea and if they would rub. I just want to have a fit look without having to buy lowering springs and also not have to worry about rubbing. Thank you!

Everyday I'm rofling
At stock height any aftermarket wheels are going to look goofy. With a 45 sidewall and 19's it's going to throw off your speedometer more than you'd like.

<p>Anything with 19's + stock suspension will look bad. You need a drop to pull it off.</p><p>I'm on 18's and 245/40's. 4x4 status for lyfe!</p><p><a href="http://s134.photobucket.com/user/ulrblitzer/media/Cars/20150315_151819.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q107/ulrblitzer/Cars/20150315_151819.jpg" /></a></p><p> </p>

Tried responding to your PM OP, but your inbox is full. Here's my response:
Hey there,
245/45/19 will fit and not rub. IIRC there was another user on this forum who advocated that size for the reasons you stated. I suggest looking through some of the old threads to see if you can find it.
I personally prefer 245/35/19 because they are the closest to stock. Regardless of which tire size chosen, however, IMHO the car looks weird in 19s without lowering. For my purposes, the Eibach springs were definitely worth it because they made the car look nicer and more fun to drive.
Good luck, and have fun!

Was also wondering if the Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs were worth it if they end up being necessary. Thank you!
