i know this has been beaten to death but i can't find the old posts. i was just curious to know what tire size you guzy are running on the 19" wheels. i was thinking maybe a 235/35/19 or a 245/35/19. which is the better size? i was not able to find any tires with a 235/40/19 size. i was leaning more toward the 235 simply because i do not want rubbing issues and i also live in NJ. any clearance issues with a 2" drop on the 40 series tires?

 

245/35/19 - no rubbing at all. Many others run this size without issues as well.

 

I've got 19"x8" rims, and I'm running 245/35-19's. Perfect fit, no rubbing. Just make sure your rims have the right offset, and you'll be OK.

 

i have 235/35's. so far so good.

 

245/35 on 19x8 no rubbing

 

i have rubbing on my 17's.

 

Depends on the wheel width but here are some examples. Courtesy of the sticky in the tire/wheel section.

I have 245/35/19 on 19x8.5 rims. The offset is +35.

 

245/35/19's for me.

 

I know this is a tire question but it has to do with my 5th gen so i decided to put it here too.
So will 245/40/18 tires rub on my wheel wells when i turn or give me any problems? does anyone have this size on their car??
ANy comments would be appr.
PM or email as well - morovasa@shu.edu

 

245/40/19's here, but id say go with 245/35/19.

 

Yeah what he said...

I have 245/40/19's but the correct size is 245/35/19

I'd recommend getting a 35mm offset, anything higher wont look very good.

 

my duddy has a set of 234/35/19's on his truck and as nice as they look the ride is crap and handeling is trickey. however my boy has 245/45/19 on his ride and the seem to want to flex a little more while cornering keeping the car more stable when in a turn. and make sure that you are always on the pot hole patrol. my boy just his one in his truck and he bent the inside of the rim it was a 2 1/2 inch lip on the freeway where the pavement transitioned $150 for the fix or 800 for a new rim. gl

 

i was thinking about buying myself these wheels in 19" size. what do you guys think? would the look better in chrome or silver finish on my 2k2 sterling mist? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V

 

those look ok, but id def get them in a silver finish.

 

nice sig man. looks much better than the other one

 

So it looks like 245/35-19 is the popular choice here. Based on the above table, it looks like the circumference/diameter is the same, so it fills the wheel well exactly the same amount as our stock tires and rims? I thought we'd want bigger and thicker tires to fill up the wheel well more.

 

Thanx alot

 

ok guys. i just called the place that sells them and they said that one of the adr warehouses closed down so they got overstock on the chrome finish wheels, thats why they are running a special on them at a price of $679 for all 4. however, if i wanted them in the silver finish, they are going to run $400 EXTRA!!! do u really think its worth it? personally i thought that the silver finish would be easier to take care of but now im not sure if it would really be worth it to dish out the extra cash for silver wheels when the chromes are usually more expensive. wat do u guyz think? thanks again for all the input!
