19" wheels from the meat head

We couldnt get the 265 in the back to look cool so I went with 235 all the way around. Final tires are 235/30/19 on 19x8.5 mrr wheels

Those must be some sticky tires! I've never seen a car stick to a wall before!

Ok OK . . . Honestly they look really tight. I think it would look bad *** if you removed the side moldings.

19" Wheels

Loving the ride! TSW 19" Mondellos with Toyo 225/35. We're about to trade it in for a Mazdaspeed3. The new family car. Can't wait. Keeping the wheels. Putting stock back on. That's the E in front...the work vehicle. That sits on 20's.

wow....235s huh...i wanted to do 235s in the rear, on 18x8.5 with 225s in the front. but i was afraid of rubbing issues. since you have 8.5 width wheels w/ 235s, do u rub at all?!??! and what's the offset on those anyways?? and how much is your car dropped?
