question for those running coupe 19s on sedan?

what tire sizes are you running in the front. i just picked up a set of coupe 19s but the tire sizes are 245/35/19 FRONT and 245/40/19 REAR. Is anyone running 245/35 on the 19s coupe fronts? just want to know if it might rub?

I'm going to be picking up a set of coupe 19's this week, and I was going to go with the stock 225/40 front and 245/40 rear. I've heard the 245/40 will fit up front on stock suspension....not sure about lowered.

I'm running Coupe 19s with 245/40/19 front and rear with no rubbing issues on stock suspension. From what I understand from reading other posts, if I do a drop then my rear will rub and I'll have to get my fenders rolled or get a different tire size. Not sure about the fronts, I haven't heard of anyone having any issues up front.

yeah, i believe the reason the 245/35 were used because the tires didnt come in 225/40 so they ran a 35 series. I've got a set of z-springs to go on so i guess ill mount them up and try them on the stock height first and see how much clearance ive got.

I know those 19's are pushing it as-is so you might rub.

You are stock suspension, right? Do you have the 8.0 rims front and 8.5 rear? And the 245/40-19s don't rub at all on the front? Thanks.

Wow, didn't know Candlestick had a spokesman. I know very well that the Rays 19's are 8.0/8.5, but some sedan owners get 4 of the front rims....I was simply checking with him. Thanks though.

Yes I am on stock suspension. I have the standard staggered wheel setup for Coupe 19s (8 front, 8.5 rear). I do not rub at all on the front with 245/40/19 tires. I've driven with 4 adults in the car, absolutely no rubbing.

No, the fenders are not rolled, I thought about it but decided to drop the car first and I have had no problems at all. Get those springs on now!!
