Ronjon In The House
Finally here new suspension kit and my new set of wheels 19 x 8.5 inspyres I'm gonna order some 245/35/19 tires. Ron told me that the 245's are better for ride quality, but the 235's give it an even sportier look. Anyway, what do u guys think? 245's or 235's? I want whatever is best for the car...and I will post pics of my car when I get the wheels on.

245 if it wont rub... you need to protect those ronjons!
Im not saying that YOU will curb them but someone else might, or sh!t happens...
who cares if it looks a tad bit smaller? they're already 19's, im sure they wont look THAT much smaller...

Do the boxes say 8.5" wide? I think I gave you the wrong size, they should be 7.5" wide. And tires should be 225/35/19 for an aggressive looking sporty tire, 235/35/19 for a larger sidewall. The 225/35/19 will not look like those tires above, lol, but will make the wheels look like 19" or even 20". the 235 will ride a litttle better, but some may look at it and think they are 18" becasue of the sidewall shape and size.

The real kit cost almost $2k and it's made of fiberglass.

I had 245 on my 19x8.5 (+41 offset) and lowered about 1.75 front and back and it rubbed when I hit bumps. Looks like you're installing Teins and going to lower the car, so it will most likely rub with 245. I couldn't stand it anymore after a couple of months of rubbing. With 235, you're buying yourself about 1/4 inch clearance, but not much. Either way, go with 235.

I used to run 245/35/19 before and i never had a problem with that size.

I need to see a front profile of your car so I can see how "flush" it is with the wheel well. But it looks like my wheels were wider than yours and it barely stuck out.
