Currently on K-sport coils and front is 24 3/4" FTG and rear is 24 1/2" FTG. Looking to fit some staggered 19's underneath. I understand i will have to run a stretched tire to make it work. I was thinking i could get away with a 223/35/19 in the front and a 235/35/19 in the rear...
what say you?- thomas sowellIt is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

I'm running 215/35 on my 9.5" but not even lowered. If you ask me, just curious how the stretch would look like. And it's: Originally Posted by jds215

I may have this dilemma soon. The roads by me suck so I'd want something beefy if possible.

From looking through google images it seems like 225/35/19 should work and provide a decent amount of clearance for me. Wheels should be in within a week and ill take some photos of the test mount without tires and see how we are looking.
Thanks for the photo and krazy, does this mean u picked up new wheels?- thomas sowellIt is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

It's so secret, I really don't know anything about them except they're 19s. No pictures, pieces, etc. Originally Posted by jds215
