had 19x8 with 235/35/19's lowered with eibach pro-kit. no rubbing with very little clearance. just changed wheels to a 19x8.5 offset +45 with same size tires. fits the wheel well nicely with no rubbing. Might have to shave the wheel wells to fit the 245's.

Yeah it might, I had 235/45 with 19x8 +45mm and it would rub with my system in the back and large dips. Probably will just have to roll/shave the inner fender lip in the back, the front will be fine unless your car is slammed.

Thanks for the responses!!! Did you guys like having the 19's on there, or would you recommend going smaller from experience?

I liked how the 19's looked better than 18's, but they rode worse and tended to get bent/cracked.

If I could have found 19's that were forged and only cost the $700 I spent on 18's I would have bought them, but I couldnt.

If your roads arent bad I'd go with the 19's, but if the roads are pothole ridden 18's might be a better choice in the long run.

This is my second pair of 19's. I like the look better. Still getting use to the all matte black look.
