you'' be sorry, 19" tires are little harder to find and thus more expensive. 18" would be a better pick, IMO.

I have 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 (28 & 23 offset) SF Challenge's with BFG KDW2's... Dropped about 2.0 inches in the rear and 1.5 in the front with Cusco Zero 2's... Other than a little more understeer from stock I love them a lot... I had a friend drive my car so I can look at it from behind... They are wide!!! VERY WIDE!!! The car looks so mean ...

I thought with the wider front tire, there would be LESS understeer.

Oddly enough, 20's tires are cheaper.

The rears are wider too... I only notice it when I get on the throtle after a turn... I have had the setup for about 2 months now and I have gotten use to it... What I do love about my tires are the "lip protectors" on the BFG KDW2's... Saved my Volk's from possible damage yesterday ...

Oh yeah... I did rub at stock height with this setup... ONLY when:
-Taking turns hard...
-Taking a bump/dip on the freeway ...

Other than that you should be good...

Did you rub in the rear? Or the front?

That size in a Toyo or Nitto would be fine, even if you're lowered. With a tire like the KDW2 or RE050A, it would be too fat.

No you won't have any issues.

Im running 255/35/19 on a 19x8.5 +33Front and 285/35 on a 19x9.5 +31 Rear. Im lowered on Zeal coilovers and have a pinky width from my tire to fender. Real close and i plan on rolling fenders. I don't rub at all.

Why do you want to roll your fenders if you're not rubbing?

^^For the added clearance/piece of mind. Buddy of mine has been running that same tire size on stock suspension with a +22 offset, he didnt rub---> Until he put in a 240lb passenger and it rubbed bad. Would you guys with no issues want to know that in the back of your mind a heavy passenger could make you rub? Why not just spend $100 and roll the fenders...just my opinion take it for what its worth.
