You didn't post even 20% of the needed information. Try again

It may work but I'm gonna bet you will have a little trouble in the front fenderwells. Why a taller than stock tire?

just happened to run across them at a great price and thats what im running now, with stock rims. would there be any tire size that would be an almost guarantee fit? without any camber or rolling/pulling.

It depends on your suspension setup, but yes it can "fit".

Ok its my turn. Thinking about purchasing some XXR 530's (I know, not ideal). Im currently lowered on s-techs. I have some good rubber that is 225/45/18's. Should I go with 18x8.75's or the 18x9.75s? Will the tire I have fit an 18x9.75? Also, should I go with offset 20mm or 33mm? Im ok with rolling fenders, but I would like normal performance and handling. Thanks in advance.

ok guys, my wheels have arrived: Enkei RP05 19x9,5 ET40 all around. I need to choose tires now. Unfortunately the winter is not gone yet so i have to wait before i mount the suspension (BC Racing coilovers).

I am currently choosing between 245/35/15 or 255/35/19 all around.

Can you advise with this suspension setup and wheels which would be best?

If i will go for 245/35/19 i found a nice deal on TOYO T1R
For 255/35/19 i found Yokohama Advan AD08.

However fitting is what interests me more then tire brand (at least now).

Thumbs up

if you use the search long enough you DO find what you are lookig for...

I found the answer to my question here.

If I want more aggressive looks i might just add 10mm spacers.

Chrishoky- I have the 9.75 +20 with S-Techs and 245/40s and it works well.

shinka- Tire and suspension specs.

Slidin- Either should be fairly useable and have some room for a good amount of tire.

Tomasz- Others have done a 265 or even a 275 on that width and offset.

I'm sure J will jump all over me if any of this is wrong.
