Another tires thread

I have a 03 with M45 wheels on them. I also have H&R 5mm spacers to keep the tires from rubbing the control arm. What size replacement tires would be best?

How close are the current tires to the control arm. If they are within 5mm you need to stick with whatever width you have now.

The fronts are 5mm but I think it's a little more out back. Probably 10mm.

I would say 245/40/19 or 245/35/19 but can you define your definition of "best"? Are you going for the widest tire you can get? Or are you looking for closest to stock? Or....?

My current set-up is 245/40/19 on all four corners. I'm trying to go a little wider but I don't want it to rub up against the control arms.
