Hey Ben,

Here's a tire calculator for ya to assist in determining proper size: http://www.net-comber.com/tirecalc.html

I'd be careful with your decision as you're pretty low and currently tucked

Cheers,

Steve

thanks steve....

i would assume that the purpose of the tire calc is to find a size where I get minimal changes from my current wheels/tires right?

hey McHammered...what wheels/tires you running ..size too please =)

Correct !

BTW, why the Dunlop Sport Maxx ? There are obviously lots of tires to choose from but there was just a group buy in T.O. that got an amazing deal on the top rated F1's ... through BrunoS4 on AW ...

Cost me $400 to fix that as the tire pulled the fender lip down and cracked the paint at the edge at the same time.

I run a staggered setup with Keskin KT4's with Goodyear F1-GS and I have no problems with it.

Front: 19x8.5 ET30 w/ 235/35/19
Rear: 19x9.5 ET35 w/ 265/30/19 and -1.9 camber to tuck them under the fender lip. The rear tires are holding up really, really well considering the camber I am running.

The look and stance to me is sweet but having the wheel wells filled in to the max doesn't leave much room for error as I found out with the pothole.

I've went with Sports Maxx for 2 reasons....I recently had a chance to drive cars with the Sports Maxx and Michelin PS2...they are very similar..but I felt i liked the Sports Maxx a little bit more....also i've heard that Dunlop and another brand..i think Toyo?..tires intends to have a more narrow edge to help with rubbing issues IF ANY...

2nd reason being that...I do have a set of Good Year F1's accessible...but they are on a set of LM's which won't be mine until sometime ..hopefully in September... so I figure why not go with something else that I can swap around with...since both are 19 x 8.5


sad enough I asked my cousin to help me call about my tires and they already arrived I'm stuck with 245/35/19....but after calculations with that site..theres only minimal changes....but 235/35/19 produces even Less changes =(

..very nice setup McHammered ...pretty car *drools*

The 245/35/19 should be fine as long as you aren't too low of they might rub when you hit a depression due to the extra height of the sidewall.
