I just purchased some AME shallen LX
19x8 +40 front / 19x9 +40 rear should be here Tuesday, what do yall think
whats the biggest tire I could run, or what do yall think I should run?

 

depends on the look your going for. stretch look or no?

 

Stretch is ok just not extreme

 

Well, I rather not stretch but if I have too I will.
so do you think the rims poke or would they sit ok?
And what do you suggest it will be sprung on h&r 1"1/8 drop

 

Stretching tires... I always hated the thought and the look of it, but i always enjoy seeing the aftermath of when things go wrong...

But, to each their own. You won't see me risking my car and wheels for a "look"

 

I feel the same way I dont like it when rubber is a half inch from rim hahaha
Looks funny id rather not stretch, but hey.. some people like it I want meat on my
Rims its a DD

 

235/35 front 245/35-19 rear

probably going to have to roll the rear fenders and maybe pull a bit, but you should be good.

If you want more meat you could go 40's instead of 35's or if you want them to look a little stretched (not much) you could go 225 front and 235 rear

Ive tried so many sizes on my 19x8 +40's its not even funny.

 

I agree with that I hate 235/35 on my 9.5 and there's a stretch you can do. 235/35 on your 9 and should be just even if you want meat then up it. I had 225/35 on my 8.5 and it wasn't a stretch so I'd say 225/35 for 8 and 235/35 on your 9 they will be perfect but you will need to roll rear fenders very slightly

 

Agree.

Another thing to be aware of is that there are slight manufacturing differences between manufacturers. So the same tire size from different companies might fit differently.

I would also spend money on rolling the rear fenders before purchasing rear camber kits as the ones sold for RL's are meant for Accords and they don't pull the wheels in further than stock unless you modify them.

 

My 18x9 +42 wheels rub with my 225x45r18 michelin mxm4's. I was going to go and have my fenders rolled, however I really don't want to risk cracking the paint.

It depends how low you are too, i had a 2 in drop and ran 18x8.5+42 with 225/40/18 and i rubbed, im running 215/40s now with no rub oh and a 10mm spacer in the rear...(cause i was rubbing inside and out...)

 

Ok guy freshly mounted and balanced. I decided to go with 235/35 & 245/35
Im happy I did its what I was going for no stretch, next stop drop....the springs will be here in may. So what do you guys think......I love it cant wait to drop it

 

The back looks dropped a little cause 4 tires are back there thats what I want it to look like all around nothing to agressive taking off mud flaps soon. And I will need to roll my it was scraping while driving home ..... Thanks again guys for the help
