Quick Question what would be the best tire size for a 19x8 rim with a 45 offset on a cls with comptech springs. I want to go with 235's but the shop said it might rub.. I rather have the wider tire in order to protect the rims but then again dont want to rub.. THANXXX for the help..

 

Go with 235.
I don't know what kind of drop you have (if any) but it doesn't rub with a Comptech drop.















(so I've heard )

 

Use the 235's. I don't think 225 or 235 will make the difference of rubbing or not.

 

go with the 235's I had the same setup

 

Ok 235 it is thanx for the help!!

 

235/35

 

278/33/19

 

Ok I guess I'm the voice of reason

8" rim with a +45 offset and 235 series tires = rubby rubby.

Hey don't take my word for it. I don't know shit.

 

 

Spezial Erder from :P

 

Are you sure?

A lot of people are running that set up.

 

i rub on an eibach drop with 235/40/18

 

my offset is 45

 

235/35/19

 

i have the same problem also, i have a h and r sport drop, and i want a 235/35/19, will that fit on the car with a 45 offset ? what makes it rub ? driveable ?

 

The 235/35-19 on 19x8s is supposed to work on a 2 inch lowered car. The offset was +51, and I'm pretty sure the tires were Nitto 555s. A now absent member had this setup and said it worked without EVER rubbing. I never drove in the car, but he seemed to be a source of reliable information...

Who knows about +45 offset. I would have found the +51s just to make sure it worked.

 

I have 19x8's +45 w/comptech springs, i dont rub with 4 people in the car unless i hit a big bump

 

so i guess i am gonna get the foose speedster in 19 by 7.5 with a 45 offset and i have a h and r sport drop. any problems with that ? here is a pic of the rims http://wheelwarehouse.com/image/foose-speedster.jpg
