Thoughts on my new wheels....and some help!

I was in the shop the other day picking up my Foose Speedster Wheels.... 19" 8" in the front and 9.5" in the back. They didnt have the right tires for me so I have to wait until next week until I have a day off to go get them. Question is I'm not real sure if these guys know what they are doing..... Any Tire guys out there? The Car has 225/45R 18 on it now...thats the stock wheels. I want as fat as I can get in the back.... but I want to make sure they are getting me the same height in tire overall. I dont want my speedometer to be off and I dont want the new tires to rub.... Oh yeah I did drop it a tiny bit by putting the Tein Springs on it.

What have you all put on your car in the 19's"? I'll be sure to post some pics if anyone helps me out.

Thanks, Tracer

19x8.0 rims will work well with 245/35/19 tires - in fact they will be the same size as your stock setup (so no speedo issues). Not sure about 9.5 width since all my rims are 8.0 wide.

It really depends on the offset of your wheels.

yah...give us your offset as well...you can't be accurate without the offsets...the wrong offset and correct tire size could throw your wheel into the fender...just like to wide/tall of a tire with a correct offset...

oh oh oh ...and pics also...
