255/35/19 fronts
295/30/19 rears

Any advice if I will have trouble with my rears rubbing or should I go with a 285/35/19 for the rear and keep the 255/35/19 front? Open to suggestions here.
275/30 front and 295/30 rear. If youre not afraid to run a bit of rear camber and roll and pull a bit go with 305/30 rear.

What size tires would be best for 18x10 +25 all around? Lowered on tanabe gf210's and fenders are NOT rolled. Do not want any stretch at all.

Edit- does 265/35 all around sound about right? rotating tires would be a plus.

285/35 all around is proper for this thread. It will work too.

In serious need of help with tire size so i can ditch the hard park gayness stretch look ad be functional with my new JWT TT.

New wheels are re30's 19x10 and 19x11 out back unfortunetly no clue on offset.

Dropped on eibach pro kit springs and konis.

Roughly an inch lower than stock.

Whats the biggest set of R888's i could run front and rear...?

Depends on offset and how much camber youre willing to run. Based on widths alone, 275/305 30 sounds good. If you were sporting the "hard park gayness stretch look" before then you prob have aggressive offsets, in which case you might have to go a size down in tire.


Still need offsets though.

265 will have a slight stretch on a 10" rim

I'm currently on Hotchkis Spring with 19x9.5 +19 & 19x11 +34 WORK Meisters and running 255/35 & 285/35 BFG KDW. I'm waiting on delivery of HRE P43SC 19x9.5 +20 & 19x11 +25 and will be running R888 265/30 & 305/30's. Looking to get the KW V3 coilovers. JWT 700BB kit & built long block as well. Some suggested the 275's but the R888's run big. Hope this helps.

18x9.75 +20 with a 275/35 up front SLIGHT camber and roll. no stretch at all. If you go with a 285 make sure you get a decent tire company or else you will end up getting mad oversteer.

I'm running the same size and offset wheel up front with -2 degrees camber and a 275/35. Stock fender, no roll. By looking at mine I could have gone with a 285/35 front easily. I have pics I couple pages back.

I'll take a good pic of the front fitment for you tomorrow too. I figure it's a good chance to *****.
