Thx. +35 w/255 won't rub at all when car is loaded and going over bumps or doing hard turn? Oh I should mention that, my car will be lowering with coilover in the future. Is +35 still ok?

oh shi - Just noticed you put down 19's and not 18's.

To play it safe since you're worried about having a full load + going over speed bumps, +42 would probably be best for you.

"Lowering with coilovers is a rather vague term," how low are you planning?

oops, about 0.5" to 1" (Tein mono flex) depending on the wheel gap.

You want coilovers for that? You will have wheel gap still btw.

at +42 w/a .5" drop you'll clear fine w/a wheel gap. Same thing if you drop a full inch. To be honest, you'd be playing it safe

^With 265's, depending on the tire, it should fit fine as long as you should have some negative camber. Might need a slight roll because it might rub over bumps.

Suggested tire depends on what you want to do. If you are looking to track or autox, then the new Kumho XS, Falken Azenis RT-615, RE-11, etc.. are all great tires with lots of grip. If you just looking at an all around tire, you can't go wrong with the Kumho Ecsta SPT.

+35 should work but +30 will need the rear fenders to be rolled.

sounds like you're looking for a 180-280 treadwear rating tire then... might I suggest the XS or NT-05?
