You probably have read this question too many times, but I searched and couldn't quite find an answer for my particular question. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. I purchased recently Volk TE37's 19" x9.5 front and 19"x10.5 in rear. I'm thinking dropping car .8" and needing to see what tire size is optimal for front and rear. I know most go 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. Is this best size to go or could you go 285 in the back without any problems? I also was thinking of going with BF Goodrich KDW's. Any other tire brands I should check out? Thanks!!

 

How wide you go will depend on your offsets. In the rear, if its +22 offset, your going to rub with a 285 and maybe even a little with a 275. You can roll the fenders though. If you get a +30 offset in the rear, you can run a 295.

BFG's are my favorites, so those would be a good choice

 

thanks...I forgot the offsets didn't I...they are +22 front and rear.

 

I believe if they're +22mm offset and you lower your car running a 285 in the rear you will need to roll your fender or it'll rub slightly, unless you go with major negative camber to push the top of the wheel in.
