will 19" rims with265 tires and lowering spring rub? I'm planning on again using tein lowering. Does anyone know or have 19's on their car with loweing springs?

No 265 wide 19" tire is a good fit, it will either be too short or too tall. 255/35 is a good fit and about as tall as you can go at an even 26" with the stock struts.

I had 265/35 on my 5zigen 18 by 8.5 and they worked awsome. But ok even with 255 on 19's think they would rub with lowering springs?

As Jason stated 255/35/19 is right at 26 inches tall. Stock is 25.7.

Your 265/35/18's were actually shorter than stock too.

Also, seeing that you are a 1g, might i suggest 18's over 19's? 18's fit the pointier 1g nose better and dont over power the car.

thanx, btw i had kyb struts and tein lowering springs, till a car tboned me. anyway thanx for those specks. So, lowering the car won't really be necessary to close the wheel gap if I have 19 by 255/35's ?

appreciate it.

im making a stealth from scratch new front end, headlights, rims ect..

255/35/19's are going to fill the wheel well only slightly more. 3 tenths of an inch total taller isnt much. A nice drop never hurt these cars. I love my drop.

The main reason i am on this damn debate is because i found a kickasss et of rims that only come in 19's

Heres my 99 with 19's and 255/35 tires.

And this is an indirect pic of my car at the ECG and you can see that you wouldnt want any taller of a tire or youd rub like crazy.
