I'm getting some bbs 19 8.5 front and 19 9.5 rear. My car is currently running on stock but planning to lower the car with tein basics what would be the best tire combo for this without rubbing? 245/40/19 F and 255/40/19 R? Please someone help so I can order my tires? Some one told me 245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R will that rub in the rear? Thanks?

All depends on the offsets and how low you plan to go.

Get me to offsets and I can help you.

As for tires, I'd do 245/40 and 265/35

Then why did you say you're getting BBS wheels?

Roll the rear lower it two inches, get it aligned. Done.

Lol sorry should have said bbs LM rep. I was in a hurry earlier. so to confirm go 245/40 f and 265/35 r and lower 2 inch all around? I don't want to have to roll the fenders so is that good without rolling the back fenders.

I recommend rolling the fenders in all cases. It's really just something you should do...

But yea you'll be fine without a roll.

Dont run a 245/35/20 on a 10" wide wheel, thats how.
Stick to the 275/30. Dont run a stretched tire unless you have to.

no, front is about an inch taller than the rear.

If you were going to do that you'd need to do 255/40 all around. but then you might as well buy a set of 9.5 and not stagger them.

255/35R and 225/40F would work, but they will be a little smaller than OEM.
235/40/19 and 265/35/19 would be better.
