I have 255 in the front. I run an 18x8.5 and it fits great. For a 245 I'd run a 7.5 or 8 if you wanna stretch. My rears are 285 on an 18x10. It fits nice and snug. I didn't stretch my tires. Are you going for a stretched look, or a snug fit?

snug fit maybe slightly stretched. the wheels are 9.5 on all corners.

Since I run a 285 on 10 a 275 would be fine. If you want slight stretch a 265 and if you wanna be real stretched and have that look, a 255. Do some research.
What offset will you be running.

lol was in my original post, 19x9.5 +22 all the way around. from what i've found it seems most people run a 245/35 or 245/40 on 9.5 which is why i asked which is better or if there is even really a different.

on a side note don't understand why people are running different tire sizes front and back when they arent staggered? don't make sense to me to have different tire sizes if all four wheels are the same. am i missing something?

Oh okay, sorry I missed that. I run a 35 tire tread. You can think of that as how high the tire will sit or the thickness of the rubber. Because you are gonna poke out a little more I would do a 35 especially if you are going to be lowered! This will provide more room between your sidewall and fenders. I had to roll my fenders in the rear to get clearance. It's easy an relatively cheap.
For your side note, I don't understand it much either. The only think I can think of is for more traction since it's rwd. I have a staggered setup which is why I have two different sizes and widths.
Are you gonna lower it?
If so which kit?

Im already lowered about an inch from previous owner. I do want to get better struts and lower springs at some point but haven't looked too much into it cuz im saving to get a MD shockwave tdx exhaust. After that i'll look more into it. i think im gonna go with a 255/35 tire

I've got F: 19x9.5 +12 235/35
R: 19x10.5 +15 245/35
I've got coil overs and rear camber what would I do if I want a flush fitment? Would I need spacers? How much camber?

Yeah I would go with a 35
I like the MD products. They are A+ stuff! I have the spacer and it made a huge difference!
Idk if you'd be interested but I have the top speed pro 1 exhaust from conceptzperformance and it sounds amazing. It's relatively cheap also. I have test pipes with it too.
Conceptzperformance.com is the guys to go with! Always good business there!

I would recommend staying away from spacers, unless you get hub centric ones. You can get those to push your wheels out more. You can also get different control arms and a camber kit. They are relatively cheap. It's all preference. How much Are you lowered?

yea i've looked into the Top Speed exhaust. I definitely like the price point lol but from what i understantd its just from the y pipe back. My stock exhaust up by the headers has to be replaced because I have a leak up there. Sounds so freaking loud. So i decided I'd knock two birds with one stone and get the full tdx shockwave. I do have a MD 5/16 spacers in my room but I haven't put it on because of the hole in my exhaust but have heard wonders about it especially on a non-revup engine

Yeah I have the 03 model non rev up but it did do wonders
And actually the top speed if all the way up to the headers. All I had to buy was test pipes that went from headers to down pipe. It's a full exhaust, not just the y pipe. You can find it at conceptz.
If you wanna hear it I can text you a video to your personal number. Just hit me up if you got any questions about it

Nice! From what I found it seemed like it was just from the y pipe back but if it's full exhaust I just may do that. $1000 cheaper and only 1-2 hp difference is worth it. Did you get top speed test pipes or another brand?

Are the tires sizes alright? I'm looking for a stretched look? And want good handling. And I got coil overs I can drop it to the floor I also got rear camber spc

Yeah it's full exhaust. It ran me about 700. I used mango test pipes. They are cheap but test pipes are test pipes. As long as they are stainless you'll be good to go. Like I've said you can find it at conceptzperformance.com

Test pipes are test pipes if you're into rasp.
