Can someone confirm me a perfect fitment if i install some 245/35/19 on 19x9.5 wheels?
Instructor
It will fit but the tire will be stretched out. If you read a few post below I just asked the same question. I also called and confirmed with Discount Tire and they said it will be safe but the tire will looked strectched.
I am gonna do it today so hopefully I will post some pics up later this week.

I have it on a staggered setup. 245's all around, with 9.5's in the back. In my opinion it looks wicked!

I just did it today...here are some quick pics I took before the sunset. I will take some better pics this weekend.
235/35/19 on 19x8.5 on the front
245/35/19 on 19x9.5 on the rear
Enjoy!

yo lower that shit

Sorry dude but that just looks like crap on the rear. Maybe it's the style of the wheel that makes it looks so much like a rubber band stretched around a rim? Maybe (just maybe) if you lower it, it won't look so bad but stretched out like that just does NOt look goo at all. It looks like it will leak air at the next speed bump. no likely at all.
Some people actually try to "protect" their rims by having the tire extend over the edge. In this case, you are doign the reverse (extending the rim WAY out beyond the tire) so it almost looks like you are begging for wheel rash.

ONce you lower that baby without much finger gap it would look really nice.

When I took those pics it just came from Discount Tire minutes ago. So the springs were not settled back down. It actually looks alot better this morning but I do want to drop it an inch.ONce you lower that baby without much finger gap it would look really nice.

You cant really tell the pics I took but the look I was going for was having the rear wheels sink in further than the front giving it the RWD look.Originally Posted by aznbo187
I think staggered usually looks a lot better with a dish.

I guess some people do not know how to drive but I have had others cars with tires stretched without any curb rashes and I have been doing this for over 10 years now. It must be a Florida thing since the roads are flat.Originally Posted by ndabunka

If I would of went with a different tire than the Kuhmos it would have appeared even more stretched out.

I am still rocking the OEM 20" sport wheels. Probably one of my favorite OEM wheels out there. Originally Posted by slawek65
