good tire size to stretch on 19x11?

im looking to do more of a stretch on my 19x11 -15 rears. right now i have 245/40 federals but was thinking 225/40 or 235/35 federals or maybe 235/40 nankangs?

think thats too much of a stretch?

right now i have flat roll and slight pull running about -5 camber. i have HKS RS coils so theyre pretty soft but i have tein flex rear springs coming in to stiffen it up. still slightly rubs the sidewall on the inner upper fender on bumps right now. hoping more stretch and stiffer springs will allow for no rubbing and slightly less camber

brand readily available to me are federal, nankang, and falken fk452's. best price point for me would be federal or nankang. right now i have a 245/40 federal on it and it barely looks stretched

I would go with the Nankangs....previously had federals and i will never use them again, and since the nankangs run a little small you will be good with the 255/35 like he said^^

don't stretch 452s. I hear things both ways with federals - maybe a bit more with people liking them.

I LOVE my nankang nsIIs, and so does Blain/4DGS.

255/35 or 275/35. If your offsets are negative or single digit positive, you may want a 245/35.
