https://tiresize.com/comparison/ This Tire sizer calculator has helped me many many times. I have a question for R owners. What size is stock wheels/tires with offset?

thanks, i realize everyone on this forum is scared to tires that are slightly smaller than oem.
I sell tires for a living working for a tire wholesaler so i fully understand heights/diameters/sidewalls etc.
my only concern is rubbing on the car
That's not really the case, at least for me anyway. I'm speaking solely from an aesthetics standpoint, your car is hardly lowered, so having a small sidewall just isn't going to look good. I run 265/30s, but my car is also lowered like 3" lol
Would 245/35/19 fit on a lowered car?
ED springs so about 1.3” 19x8.5 et 45. That’s what I would run if it would fit. But it would require stepping into 19’s from 18’s.

You work for a tire re-seller and you're asking about posted tire width?
No offense mate, but tire vary so significantly between manufacturers on widths that a 235 can be as wide as a 255 between different brands. Just look at a 235/40/18 direzza z2 ss...it's 9" wide on tread width!! The same "size" in a PSS is only 8.5" wide. I believe an re71r is even narrower at 8". A 255/40/18 in a re71r is 8.9" wide, but the same tire in 255/35 is 9.3".
I recommend anyone looking at this thread to look up the tire you want on tirerack and look at "tread width" under specs. That's their own standard measure and is comparable between brands.
wow. thanks. i have never looked at a tire manufacturers specs sheets. things like overall width and tread width are things i have never heard of before. so i have no idea what they mean nor do i know that those specs are based on a specific rim (measured width)width that is also listed in their spec sheets.
i asked what i thought was a simple question. guess not. i may even run 255/35/18 but since very few people have can say that x tire with x wheel with x offset with x suspension will fit i guess i’ll have to try myself.
I had 245's on a 9 wide rim and et45! Lowered on springs. Only rubbing was in the front before the fender screw mod, after that no rubbing.
