Can anyone tell me what size tires would fit properly without rubbing and also not throw off my abs or traction control lights? The rims are 19x9 and 19x10 with a 24 offset.

225/235

And roll and pull. Stop being a *****. This set up requires it. Don't want it then put some OEM wheels on.

fender rolling is not as hard as guys think. just make sure to heat the area up well without burning the paint

Scratch that. Rolled the BMW wheels for $1300, still have the Adaptec adapters on eBay if anyone's interested. I just ordered Linea Corsa Lemans 19x8.5/10 pictures to follow. Thanks for the advice

225/40-19 and 245/40-19 would be proper tire sizes.

He has a very good suggestion, the ones he mention are the proper width for the wheel and height for the car, but......... The ones i say are also the proper height and will give you a bit of stretch that you will need for clearance with the aggressive offset you will be running the wheels at.

Really? Do you think I'm gonna have any rubbing issues? I plan on adjustable coil overs in the very near future....

Just ordered tires for my brand new out-the-box style 95s. I will be running 235/35 up front with 285/35 in the rear. I will let you guys know how this turns out. I am also using 15mm adapters from Adaptec. Pictures to follow!

You don't really have to. This is from 2 years ago...when people had been running this setup for about 2-3 years already....But, I don't want to squash your dreams or anything. Just saying, it's not really necessary to involve us. lol

This.

Your car is going to look like a bag of dicks riding high on pizza cutters. The whole package must be taken care of to pull off 19s.
