From what I have been told when I was looking for rims and tires 235 is the biggest you should go and even then you have to roll your fenders if you are going 2" and below.

I run 225/40/18 and wish I would have gone with a 225/45/18 because its still a rough ride. Maybe if I sell my blues and just get Illumina's it would make a big difference.

Oh yah you have the option for 234/40/18 in your poll twice!

Thanx for the catch!! I tried to fix it with know luck. So yeah, I meant 225/45/18. So just act like thats what I put there, lol.

I want to run 225/45/18 or maybe 235's. Do you guys think I'll have probs? Id like to stay away from rolling the fenders. I have the Eibach Sportlines.

I didnt know they made 19X7 inch wheels. Why would you want such a big rim thats so narrow?

If you don't want to roll the fenders I would go with a 225/40 or 45/18 Depending upon ride quality and or looks. The 45's make you rims look smaller then what they are, but ride nicer. Just depends on what your overall goal is.
