I posted a hile back about 18" rims and what size tires to get and i was impressed with the response. Well, i havent bought rims STILL and was actually thinkin of goin bigger. After all, thsi is America where we consider bigger to be better!

I was contemplating 19" wheels but i am unsure of what size tire. I want to put a goldline 2" drop all the way around but i dont want the tires to rub? :nails: is there any size tire that will fit and not rub? am i dreaming? any testimonials? All input is appreciated! Thanks!

FYI, I can confirm our recommendation to be 215/35-19, however, that is for a stock vehicle, once lowered, this size could spell trouble! This tire size has a diameter of 24.9" and the O.E. tire size of 185/60-15 comes in at 23.7". So the 215/35-19's are 1.2" taller than the O.E size.

215/30-19 is the tire size I have seen run on xBs.

215/35/19 slightly slowered should be no problem. but if your'e lowering it a lot. gotta go with a 30 series tire. hope you like rough rides :P
