it depends....
for the ultimate look...it should be front +29 and rear +35

Can I still do a 245 series tire on 7.5"?

Once again these are my specs:

Racing Hart CR's
Wheel Diameter (F/R) : 18"
Wheel Width (F/R) : 7.5"
Suspensions Changes : No Changes

And thanks for the response, much appreciated.

nevermind, I put these on my car and they fit just fine even with a 38 offset.

I'm running 19x8.5 255/35 +40. You can definitely run wider tires.

245 will be very slightly stretched but it would be fine. 19x9 +36 will rub a little if you are lowered, front and maybe back. front will rub if you turn your wheel all the way to one side. rear can be rolled to not rub at all but it could depend on your camber as well.

i can't say for sure, but you may be fine. you will clear the back with 235s for sure, but the front i can't tell because its so close.

I did plan on staggering... 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 back. Mainly because I'm going with 245/35 fronts and 275/30 back tires. Car is dropped with tein flex suspension.

my bad, that list of hub sizes are eyemessing. haha

you're only option in that case is to go +42 for both because of the hub sizes. with a 8.5 F and 9.5 R, depending on your camber set up, you can clear the rear with 275s. if not, just roll or go 265s.

Would this work? I am probably going to be buying a set of staggered Volk SF Challenges in 19x8.5 offset +42 and 19x9.5 offset 40. I was wondering about tires. Would it be possible if I wanted to keep the staggered look I could get 255 tires all around? If not I will just get 245's in the front and 275's in the rear. How is the ride for a staggered setup with 245 and 275 compared to stock for a daily driver? Thanks.

I'm not sure 19x9 +40 running 255/35 will work up front. It may depend on tire brand. Anyway check this thread for pics.
