Sorry Another Tire Question
Specs:
19x8.5 et45 fronts 19x9.5 et48 rears will a 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 work on stock suspension? Oh and tires are Nexens if it makes any difference. |

Tires do make a difference. Nexens run in around the top 30 percentile for being small by my guesstimate.
I think this will work as in allow you to go down the road without rubbing too bad. However, I think it will rub fairly severely if you hit a big bump the wrong way or if you carry passengers. A good fender roll might allow it to work but most likely you'd need that and to add some camber. With those wheels the only 265/30 that will work okay will be a Falken, maybe a Toyo. Nexens are very cheap so it won't be that big of a risk and you can just watch out for big bumps or big passengers.

i originally wanted falkens or toyos but tire shop guy said it'd take longer to get. i was in a hurry and trying to get my car back on the road ASAP so i opted for the nexens. you think that a 265 will really be that bad on stock suspension?

Well did it rub driving home?
My Toyos were twice what you paid so you did fine. Just make sure you only carry one lightweight passenger max..j/k..lol.
