#33203, "tire/rim size..."


          

Whats the biggest set of wheels you ever had on your 2gnt?

- I have 225/35/19 tires, i want to know if i can install 225/45/19 w/o any rubbing issues?

- I guess my real question is, does anyone have 225/45/19 installed or have had them installed and can tell me about them? I know this might take a while to get an answer since everyone either has 17 or 18in rims...
- Thanks in advance...

A 225/45/19 will be a very tall tire for a 2g. It will most likely rub on the control arm.

I'm running 225/50R16's on 3rd-gen Rx7 rims (16x8), which isn't the size you're asking about... but my single contribution to this thread will be: it depends if a.) you're lowered, b.) how much, and c.) with CORRECT camber (camber kits front & rear). You may fit @ stock height and/or with bad camber.

Me personally, I actually had to cut the entire lip of rear fenders off w/ dremel, and change spacers from 15mm down to 5mm (I think those are the sizes)... when I got my alignment that is. I'm on Tokico Illuminas, Eibach springs, with Front & Rear Ingalls Camber Correction kits... and my Eclipse is settled very low indeed.

Me and speed bumps don't get along as I scrape/bottom-out my undercarraige. Another sad fact: I can also tell when my tires drop below 30lbs, as I start scraping the speed bumps pretty good in my neighborhood.

your setup sounds intense haha...Right now i have 225/35/19 with goldlines and im gettting kyb agx in another week or so...no camber mods, i might just do the cheap $15 washer setup...but as of right now, no issues with tire rubbing, then again i havn't really drivin it that much...i haven't really driven over speed bumps, but im more worried about potholes destroying my rims because my tires are anorexic NJ potholes are the worst!!
