I have some volk sf challenge Front 19x8.5 +34 offset and Rear 19x9.5 +36 the tires i have on now are Front 245/35/19 rear 255/40/19 but i don't like the way they look I am lowered on eibach prokit but will be in coilovers in 2 weeks. I like the stretch tire look but not sure what sizes would be good with out going extreme. Any help would be good thanks

Something like:
Which would require minimal clearance between the tire and the well. What do you think?

Adding a spacer will definitely fix it. and you'll have room for one up to about a 15mm spacer. You should be fine with that set up.
The second set up also works but again, since they are smaller you'll want a spacer just to make them look right.
You also have room for a larger tire out back if you wanted.

Adrian - you could do that, and get two sets of tires. one stretched set for summer stance and then a winter/snow tire.

Anyone recommend a spacer size for my fronts? I know you can't tell much from this pic. But i've measured it, and it's about 1" (or just a tad bit less) from the end of the rim to being flush with fender. (with the current camber)
The tires are barely stretched in the front, so I won't be able to get it as aggressive as the rears. But I don't mind switching tires.
Specs are 18x9.5 +25
The rears are 18x13 -6.
I will relip the fronts another inch when the time comes. But for now, I just want to space it out. I was thinking maybe a 25MM to make it flush with the fender? Or should I go with a 30 for a little more poke and stretch more. I think with 25s I can keep the tires as is.
(This pic was during installation of coilovers, the fronts weren't dropped yet lol)

I forgot to double check the tires while I was down in the garage. lol. I have the wheels up for sale though and the ad says those specs. So I think they're right.
I'll check tomorrow. too lazy. plus its dark downstairs and shitload of monsters downthere nomsayin aww shiit
anyway. wouldnt a 20mm still be tucked? since I believe 25mm =~ 1 inch?
i mean I could always swap out the tires. They are brand new in the front (like 900 miles). I'd just get a skinnier tire without spending a cent so I don't care about having to get a new tire. I just want the wheel to be at least close to the aggressiveness of the rear.
