what is the widest we can go for 19's

Will 19x8.5 with 235/35x19 and a comptech drop work?

if I cant do this, I'll have to go:
18x8 245/40x18 and a comptech drop....hopefully that works (?)

The 19X8.5 will work but you prolly have to find a REALLY high offset, like a +49 or higher.

19x8.5 is a pushing it... u have to get almost 50+ offset and it might still rub

19x8 the offset has to be higher than 45.... and try not to use 245 tires.... use 235...

If you go 18s you can have rim widths ranging from 7.5 inches - 8 inches. Offset must be 42mm or higher...preferably in the 45mm - 48mm range.
