what rims are you getting? what widths are available? how about offsets? tell us this and we can probably tell you the *best* setup you can get.

I think you need to slow down and get all your specs before ordering those wheels. There is more to it than ordering a 19" wheel with tires. Do some research first. Trust me, you don't want to find out about offset after you got them mounted and they are rubbing like a SOB! You need to find out what offsets those wheels are available in.

i got 7.5s with a 42 offset and 225/40/18 tires, and i still rub sometimes after trimming the bumper tab...lowered on prokits. your setup is close to mine, saying if you went with 225/35/19 tires, then you would *probably* rub more than mine since your offset would be 4mm lower. now if you wanted to put on 235/35s, you definitely need a higher offset!

I have 19 X 8 with 49+ offset size tire 235/35/19.

I lowered mine with H&R OE spring and no rubbing after I cut my rear bumper tabs.

Which one? Silver, polished, chrome?

I've got mine from Mike (valuetl) and cost me about 35 including everything. If you want chrome, it's little bit more. Ask him what the prices are.

235/35/19 too short of a tire??

That's the only size we can come up with on 19's. If you you get the correct offset, you shouldn't have to worry about the rubbing.
