honestly, your tires are fun, buddy...the only reason it's obvious is that you are not lowered low enough to where you don't see top of tire...but for down the line when you get coilovers and potentially spacers you are set up perfectly. Trust me...this is the way you want to roll...if you are NOT lowering it, then you could probably go with something more like a 40 series tires and a 245 or more.

right...MBL. Matte Black Luster or something...mine have that color code on them but they have been cleared like 5 times.
I don't have any other closeups of the tire. But I'm telling you, you're fine unless you're hellbent on going with a different size or tire altogether. You are FAR from rubbing front or rear even if you slammed it, at +45 all around you're basically at aspec size and with such a narrow sidewall you probably don't even need to roll.
Spend the extra few hundres on suspension, not on shipping/mount/dismount/tax. Trust me.

here is the thing i bought the bridgestone tires used and the previous owner which ever way they got the shop to mount it made 2 little cuts on the side, probably not a very good machine. Now i have 2 tires that are leaking. And it just seems bridgestone 235s doesn't fit well with 19x9 so considering 4 brand new falken 452s like yours. It does look beefy compare to the bridgestone which i prefer.
Do you have any problems with tires leaking being it is a little stretched?

you do see the rim sticks out way pass the tire though right? i am guessing the bridgestone has a really shallow side wall. can you show me a few more pics of the side wall for your falkens?
if i do get 245 tires with a +45 offset, lowered to 1 finger gap with no spacers will it rub?

^^^no leaks buddy...not a one...if you are NOT lowering the car below a finger gap you can do 245. But I warn you that you will not clear the fenders (more than likely) if you decide to slam it.
Go to discounttiredirect.com and look into pricing...free shipping and if the size doesn't work, they actually give you free shipping back to them (already tested this) not to mention after 5 months on the EVO's I called them because they were cupping and defective and they took them back with free shipping and gave me full credit back for them.
Also, call them and see if they will give you a better price...usually they will. Best customer service ever...

does the falken 452s have a wheel protector?

those are goodyear f1 summers, pictured are 225-40-18 on a 18x8.
i checked the falken site just now, and their specs sheet was kind of low on info. i'm unsure if they have them. although it looks like it in his pictures, i can't tell as idk his stretch and angles make a big difference on seeing that.

Yes...it's got a rim protector, I like to call it JEREMY.
I have learned to avoid sidewalks and getting too close to anything...I think on a 9 inch wide rim you won't have true tire protection till you get to 255 and up.
