Is 245/40/19 to big of a tire for a 5th gen. I am lowered on coilovers and do not want to rub.

New wheel pics soon with the bbk yay

 

whats the width of the rim??? im planning on doing 19X8 and 19X9.5 and i wanna do 235/35/19 and 245/35/19........ or who knows 225/35/19 and 235/35/19

 

I run g37s 19'' rims and no rubbing. How low did you lower? I don't think it will rub...

 

That's kinda chunky, I would go with a 35 series tire with that same width imo.

 

I an lowered 1.7f 1.5r

They are comming with this epic wheel deal I found in my area.

 

yea thats right hate on.

 

Looks good. Post pics after you put them on.

 

Im going to look at them tonight. I may be rolling home on them lol

 

are those ASA JH8's???? i thought them things were discontinued???

 

Go with a 35 profile with 19s. How wide are they and whats the offset? 245 should be ok for the back but if the offset is too low it'll probably rub up front.


sneaky bastard.......

 

man I would love to upgrade my G18's

 

my god perk those are sexy!!!! id also say 35 profile

 

Correct I believe they are. the tires are potenza re0505a 245/40/19 they only have 500 miles on them

So swapping them out would be to a hassle.

 

they guy has no info on them, his son had them on an m45 so im guessing 19x8 or 19x9 Ill find out sunday when i go grab them, I just want my bbk on lol

he has no idea about anything car related he wants them out !

 

Is 35 and 45 a big diff really, i mean i run 235/35/20 and i never scrub. on a 9.5 inch wide wheel.

 

okay so they are 19x8 45 mm offset

So I dunno now will they fit the bbk??????????

 

If you want, we can test fit these wheels on my car first to see if they fit.

If it clears the BBK it will because of the spoke design. But It'll be close. Wheels with that offset usually dont clear BBKs.

a 35 to a 45 profile is a pretty big difference. But there are other variables also. I ran a 245/45/18 on my old setup and it rubbed like crazy in the front. But i believe thats because my wheels were only 7.5" wide so it made the tires bulge out some.

General rule of thumb I like to stick to with tires if your not running a strech on a 4th or 5th gen max is:

17" rim - 45 profile
18" rim - 40 profile
19" rim - 35 profile

This will usually keep your speedo accurate. On a 20" though, I still like to keep a 35 profile because it keeps some cushion between the wheel and the road.

But since the tires are brand new, forget everything I said and ride out with them. lol

 

They were on an m45 with lowered suspension. SOOOOO yea I hope they dont rub. Yea test fitting them on your whip will be amazing!!!! you are the man!!! Im also going to bring a caliper and z32 brake with me to lay on the inside of the wheel.

 

this should be a stickie the info in this post is amazing!!!!!!!
