19" Coupe Rays on sedan

I've been back and forth about what tire size to choose for my OEM Rays...My car is dropped on Skunk2 springs approx 1.5" drop (picture below for reference)

What the hell is everyone else running? Got pics?

I'm leaning most toward 225/40/19 F 245/35/19 R

If you roll your renders in the rear, you can do 245 max. Otherwise, its going to rub.

Same on my car. I had no problems rubbing (I'm dropped on Tein H Techs) with Falken 452's, but replaced them with Hankook Ventus and now I rub in the rear on decent sized bumps. The Hankooks are wider than the Falkens, even though they are the same size. I'll be rolling my rear fenders next week.

FWIW, I like the Hankooks a lot better than the Falkens.

What's your suspension setup? Is it stock? I had 255/35 and they rub like crazy. Looking to go with a tire size that will most closely match the stock 17in setup and avoid any type of rub on any bump.

I bought em in november, they're sitting in my garage till spring. I'm gonna be lowered on tein s tech springs and rolling the rear fenders, without the roll they would rub but I'll be good once I get the rear fenders rolled. Probably gonna do 5mm spacers in the front to make them more flush.

The Hankooks were $15 cheaper a tire than the Falkens. The dude at Discount Tire was surprised I was putting them on, said he had never heard anything good about Hankook tires. I told him to fvck off, haha j/k.

Between Car and Driver and reading reviews on 3 different car forums I have yet to hear anyone make one negative comment about them. So far so good for me.
