Max setup on stock suspension
I was pleasantly surprised that these wheels do not rub at all with my stock suspension. They are Volk LE37-T's, front 19x8.5 et43 with Falken 235/35 and rear 19x9.5 et45 with Hankook 245/35's. I had planned to go an inch or so lower once I got my KW's, now I'm thinking that I'll barely go any lower.
I'll eventually go lower and try 255/30's, etc. Of course both of these will require some rolling, etc. I even plan to research shorter brake rotor hats eventually because I'm never selling these wheels. I guess the real problem will be if I ever damage them, they were made in 2003. Btw, the ride is not much different, just a little smoother. But the front Falkens are noisy, further enhancing my hate for Falkens. |

It looks like a 245 is a bit too small on the rear. I wouldve gone with a 255. It would make the lip of the wheel stick out less. Other than that I like em.

Thanks, I bought the setup already like that. Looking at the pic it appears a 255 might fit in the back depending on the tire. I'll drive these until they wear out and look it over closely, especially as I lower a little.
