Can't really help you, but I'm running 19x8 with 215/35 tires. That stretched, but I'm lowered to no wheel gap.

You'll need a big offset to keep those things from rubbing on the fenders.It's going to be a hash ride and maybe even risky with possibly damaging them. All that aside, the tire size you specified is to tall (diameter). The aspect ratio of 45 for the 235 is to big. A 235/30/19 will get you with 1.7mm of the stock diameter, a 35 series will be 23.5mm larger. Jump to the 235/45/19 and you will be a running 694.1mm diameter tire from the stock 625.3.

You're speedo is going to be off but my concern is that it's just one more concern with rubbing.

Default SIZE 19

Thanks guys for all the responses....actually here is the specs...you right the tire would be too big...i'm thinking going for size 18 instead of 19...so what's the perfect size for 18 rims? specs?

The most popular 18” wide wheel spec is an 18x8.5” +48 offset. If you go 19’s, just be sure to comp for the tire profile to get the correct tire diameter and it’ll be like running the 18”. Raytrix bought a wheel with a +35 and is having problems with rubbing so I stay clear away from anything under a +45.

The +48 offset mean that the mounting surface of the rim is 48mm away from the center of that rim. The bigger this distance is the more the wheel will sit towrds the car. Big offset (gap) equals more room to the fender. Smaller offset will put the wheel out further.
