If your gonna slam it low I would do a 215 40 19. A more aggressive stretch but still a good ride with a 40 profile.

jeroplex

is that what your running?

ed_423

He's running 18s I believe

jeroplex

im not going to slam it too low. maybe a 1/2 or 1 finger gap

jeroplex

thats right

jeroplex

will 245/40/19 give me problems? 245 is wider right? not as stretched?

T-jay

Yea 245 40 19 shouldnt rub stock but with a drop it will. I would roll the fenders if you want that size. I have 225 40 18 on a 8.5” rim 45 offset. I want to go 18x9.5 40 offset on the same tire. I might have to roll the fenders also.

jeroplex

looks like i have to do 245/35 if i dont want to roll my fenders.
to summerize my research lol
these are the wheels:

19x8.5 +38 all around
245/35/19
on TEIN SS

T-jay

With that offset you will fit kind of flush with the fenders a 245 35 19 might be to wide also. You might have to roll them also. Remember 245 is wide 35 is high and 19 is rim.

tobwac

I think you should be fine with 245/35 tire if you not gonna slammed you tsx defcon runs 245/35 on 9.5" rim and hes dropped 1.6f. 1.4r and he doesnt have his fender rolled (someone correct me if im wrong)

T-jay

245 35 19 on a 9.5” wide rim will be a slight stretch on the tire. So the tire is less space consuming. That and offset makes a difference the lower the offset the more it moves toward the outside of the fender.

jeroplex

im not going to max out the TEINS...im new to the whole lowering scene. reason i wanted tein ss is for later on if i do decide to change my setup and go lower but as of now i think 1.5 is about where ill be -/+ .2inches

T-jay

If the offset was 45 or better id say go for it but at 38 the tire and your fender might do some mating

jeroplex

exactly. if tobac is on 19x9.5 on +35 what im planning would be a little bit sunken compared to tobac and also narrower since i want to do 8.5? i would think i wouldnt rub if his specs dont? am i wrong to think this?

T-jay

If you put the same tire tire on a 8.5 and a 9.5 the height on the 8.5 will be higher and tire stick out the rim slightly. The 9.5 will overall be lower and the tire will slope awa from the edge of the rim. Therefore there will be slight cearance between the rim and the tire.

jeroplex

would 235/35/19 be ideal? too thin? 235/40?

T-jay

235 40 19 might work. I found a wheel calculator online a few weeks ago that would really be helpful but I cant seem to find it again. Id say go to a good tire shop that has tires in stock and have them install one for test fit. 235 35 19 would be bad on potholes

jeroplex

damn...235/40/19 are expensive. i dont know any more lol

T-jay

Yea unpopular,size tires cost a lot more thats why it was 18” or 20” for me.

jeroplex

last try? lol how about 225/40/19

jeroplex

would 225 defeat the purpose of having 40 sidewalls?

T-jay

I would go with that if your worried about potholes. I googled that tire size on the rim and it has a nice stretch and profile look to it.

tsxronald

I'm going with a 19x9.5 offset +22 center bore 73.1.
Tires are 255/40/19 some sticky tires idk what brand yet.
Fenders will be pulled and rolled to get a flush look with the tire.
Flush but not hellaflush more like hellafunctional.

tobwac

I have 8.5" defcon has 9.5" just to be clear

jeroplex

I'll prolly go with 225/40 tires I think? Lol

jeroplex

anyone else wanna chime in?

while looking on google...
225/40 looks like it looses sidewall from being stretched
245/35 looks like it has more sidewall without stretching

jeroplex

i read on danew604 post that on his 19x8.5 +35 bbs he ran 245/40/19 and rolled fenders while on BC coils. i wonder if i can get away with +38 on same size wheel and tire w/o rolling with with +38

Euronoob

If you're going 19x9 or 19x9.5, I'd probably go with 225. That would be enough for clearance if you're going to slam your car? But you'll also need to roll your guards though :\

jeroplex

im going 19x8.5

jeroplex

so anyone have a picture of 225/40/19x8.5?
want an idea to see how stretched it is

T-jay

I will find you one cause thats what I do.

T-jay

Front wheel on this genisis is what you looking for 19x8.5 225 40 19.

ttk5

lol

jeroplex

appreciate it!
you think ill be ok with pot holes..makes the 40 look like 30 sidewall. maybe it looks that why cause its tucking. thanks for hte picture

T-jay

You should be good in florida. I would rock them in ny but im used to dodging potholes.

tobwac

with a slide stretch you gonna be fine especially in FL lol

jeroplex

thanks guys looks like thats what ill be going with

Euronoob

Sorry to thread jack but I didn't want to make a new thread. Do you guys think 19x9.5 +30 will fit the fronts? My friend says +30 will definitely not fit the fronts if I'm going with 9.5 but I don't think they have any other sizes.. and he also said even if I go with a higher offset, I'll be hitting the inside wall? I know defcon runs 9.5 +45? or +40.. maybe.. But yeah, 19x9.5+30 will fit the rears, that's no problem.. It's just the front I'm worried about.

I've already gotten my front guards rolled. My car is sort of slammed.

Thanks guys!

jeroplex

I can't decide between the gunmetal look or gold LM wheels. If I go gunmetal I can go different offset than the gold and then go with different tires grrrrr

defconskylude

im 19x.9.5 +45. if you do +30 in the front, youll definitely be poking and rubbing
