tire size

Yes I've searched and looked at many tire threads, still need a couple answers.

I have a coupe and am getting 19x8.5 +35 and 19x10 +38 wheels. I plan on lowering with H&R Race, what tire sizes should I get? Will I need to roll/pull fenders?

Fronts would be perfectly fine with a 235 front. The rear is definitely aggressive and will require fender rolling and camber adjustments. I would not recommend any tire over a 245 tire to clear on H&R Race springs.

Thanks for the info, but what front size would I need to match the stretch on the rears. I think it would look goofy with only the rears stretched.

Some CSL's in your future?

To match watch stretch? What size tire are you using in the front?


To make them fit w/ H&R Race you'd need a 225/35/19 front and 245/30/19 rear, making a pretty close comparison in terms of the amount of stretch. You may come in to rubbing issues though.

This will depend on what the width of the front wheels are.
