    i currently have 18's with 245/40/18 on front and they miss the guard by like half a cm... i bought 19's and were thinking of buying 245/35/19 for the front but anyone think i would be able to squeeze 245/40/19 without scrubbing?? thanks

    :zlove:

    thought the ride will be more comfy :p and less chance of screwing the rims up 2... but yeh 235/35 should be alright i guess

    If you want the 40 profile sidewall, stick to 18's.
    You may find that 40 profile 19's scrub the inner guards on full lock, which apart from being highly not recommended, is defectable. The overall diameter of the 245-40x19 is over 7% larger. On the front, if you have to have 19's (I wouldn't), I would go 235-35x19 maximum, which is still over 2% larger in overall diameter than stock.

    What are you going to run on the rears? If 245-40x19, remember this will throw your speedo out by over 7%.
