I need help choosing the right tyres so I don't get any rubbing .
-
Totally depends on wheel width and offset, and how low you are...

This was answered in your last thread about the same problem yesterday. If you want to solve your problem fitting wide wheels with tyre size, you need to fit 215 to be sure. You could try 225 but what's the point in taking the risk of having the same problem. :happy2:

didnt realise you was running 8.5 rims but as mentioned try 215 tyrs
-
I'm running 225/35/19 with 8.5j ET45 wheels, now i am only lowered on H&R springs but have had no issues with rubbing at all. :happy2:
As others have said, it all depends on how far your wan to slam the rim up into the arches.

am on 19" et44 with no rubbing but yours been 8.5 will stick out further

215s

This is why I'm asking , everybody's different . I want to get it right this time . The more help the better init .
This is going to sound rude but I fail to see what you are having issues with in choosing the tyre size. 225 will probably not rub but it depends on how fast you drive and what compression you put into the shocks on any given day. So why not get the size that has the least chance of rubbing. Do you have some strange need to get it right close to rubbing :chicken:
Just buy the 215 size and reduce the risk. You have already slapped yourself in the face not doing correct research and now you not quite sure weather to slap yourself in the face again for good measure. :stupid:
-
The amount of times people ask this question, you give them advice, and they ignore you.
I might write a "whee/tyre fitment guide" over the next few days that could be stickied for people to read. :indifferent:

Did he know you were lowered? Hes just sold you the "correct" size tyre for your wheel
