Tire size suggestions for TE37s?

What's up everyone,

I have a set of 19" TE37s w/+22 offset and spacers in the front and rear. I currently have 245/35/19f and 285/30/19r. My fronts are perfect but my rears sometimes rub if I take a corner too hard or if I have a passenger. Because I have no tire thread left, I swapped them out for my stock 19" wheels and tires. I hate to admitt it but the ride is so much better, comfort and performance wise. So what tire size do you guys think I should get with out having to stretch the tires and not rub?

I was thinking 265/35/19r would be perfect but Tire Rack doesn't have many options in that size. What do you think about these tire combos:

255/45/19
255/40/19
255/35/19
275/35/19
275/40/19

Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

guessing they are the normal 9.5 front and 10.5 rear but you said you have spacers..we need to know what size spacers to know your true offset since its not +22 anymore.

the average te37 wheel owner goes for 245/35 front and 275/35 rear..all depends on your final offset..im on te37 replicas with +12 offset and im running 245/35 front 275/30 rear..but tomorrow ill be running 235/35 front 255/35 rear for a small stretch and -3 offset

What drop are you on? What camber are you looking to set at? How much of an aggressive/flush look are you going for?

I think most will run 245/35 275/35 for 9.5 and 10.5 wheels.

Best combination that will offer the most tire selection is 245/35-19 and 275/35-19. Lots to choose from and won't cause a rubbing issue.

^ well actually he's at 10.5 +2.... running a full size tire with this offset will probably rub.

I say pull the fenders a little you're obviously already running a bit of camber if you're at +2.

Either that or go to a smaller spacer if you don't want to stretch/camber.

I'm on Tein Basics with a camber kit at about -1 all around. My fenders are rolled all the way and pulled slightley. My car used to look like this:

I'll try and post pics of my current set up from my phone (at work right now)

I'm starting to think 255/40 for the rears. I don't want to stretch the tires too much and still want to be able to drive the car hard...

My buddy has a 550hp G and stretches a 255/35 out back, all is good.

How much is that "stretched"

I figure my 245/35f for a 19x9 is just fine so a 255/40r on 19x10.5 should the same...
