Our stock tires are 245/45/18 on a 7.5" wheel so Id say its safe to put a 245/40/19 on a 7.5" wheels. I ran 245/40/19 on my old 19x8s, plan on running 255/40/19 on my new 19x8.5 axis wheels. Hope that helps.

the ride wasn't that bad when i first had the tires, they did seem to wear pretty quickly though. im in the process of getting toyo T1R's anyone have experience with these tires. And as far as being alot smaller, i put them side by side they honestly were the same height and i could not tell a difference in width at all.

Check out tirerack if you haven't spent $$ yet

put in your tire size, then click on "specs" link for each tire.

It looks like you want 8 inch wheels

I have. I ordered some Konigs from them a few months ago. They shipped pretty fast and they seemed to be pretty knowledgeable about the products they sell. The wheels I received were silver but came with gold center caps. I called them about this and they replaced them for free even though they were the caps that actually come with the wheels.If you stay in the state of GA like me, you will have to pay tax though (just a heads up). I would have done business with them again if I didn't have to pay tax on their items.

Maxmale, I had 255/40's when I had my 19's. Nice sidewall and a pretty nice ride. Im not to sure 255/45 anything will work for you guys since youre both dropped right? You and Glude? Im actually looking for tires right now myself. Lets keep this thread alive by posting some prices when you find them...
