Default Need tire and spacer (if needed) Pros Chime in

Well yesterday I took the plunge and bought a set of work varianza t1s 19 x 9.5 and 19 x 10.5 +15 front and back. My goal is for a very agressive fit. I would like them to poke out just a little. I dont mind rolling my fenders but do not want to pull them. Do i need spacers ? (havn't test fit them yet at work all day) I want to know the best thickness and width of tire i should run to protect the wheels from getting bent easily but i do want the stretched tire agressive look. I will be posting pics once i get them installed . Wont be getting suspension for about a month. And this isnt the right section but if anyone would like to volounteer info on what suspension they think i should run for around 1k.

If you run stretched tires the outer edges of your rim will be more susceptible to damage than if you ran a recommended tire size for your wheel width, so you just have to determine if that risk is acceptable to you. Assuming you are ok with that, it sounds like you will need spacers if you want as aggressive a look as you are going for. There are a ton of threads on tire sizes, spacers, etc for the agressive stretched tire look. Start here:

You can run anywhere from 245-295 mm tires. The number of possible combinations staggers the human mind.

if you really want to go aggressive with stretched tires, put a 20mm spacer up front, and a 20mm or 25mm in the back, and run 235/35/19's up front, and 245/35/19's in the back. and your good to go...
