remember i live in chicago & drive downtown alot so i hit a few potholes ever so often.

also 1/4" spacers were included w/ my rim buy so the 245 series i believe shouldn't rub?

thanks

For what it's worth, I was told my 19x8.5 +35 offset would fit fine with 245/35/19's, no rubbing. Waiting until warmer months to actually put them on so I don't know for a fact yet.

Not much difference between the two. Little bit wider and little bit taller.

Hmmm, that's weird because I don't think it's gonna rub. Then again, I might be wrong. He must be lowered by 3 inches?

K Pazzo 6,

to answer your question, yes 245/35/19 will fit perfectly on those HP Evo wheels.

You might have rubbing issues and you might not. Only way to find out is trying them I guess.

You'll be fine with 245. 255 will probably rub.

talk to Nathan-he's running GC's and soon to have 245/40/19's....

I can tell you I would clear that size no problem with my maxspeeds and if it weren't for that size being sooo much $$$$ I would have them also

35's are just too thin for areas with not so nice streets

also FYI limsandy-my boy 2k2nyc has 245/45/18's which would be damn near close to 245/40/19 and he dont rub-on H&Rs and he's got plenty of room left

If that's the case, that would be great news and I'd gladly order 245/40/19's in April instead of the 35 series tires (Philly roads....ehhh...notsogood ) - my drop will be moderate (Tein H.Tech ~1.6"), so hopefully no rubbing issues but would like to get that ironed out before the purchase....otherwise I'll just say screw it, get the 35's, and hold my breath from May through October
