Suggested Stretch on 19'' .....
Whats your recommendations.
19x9 rear
19x8.5 front
I am running a conservative offset in the front for now. its only a 45mm. I plan on pulling some negative camber off of them so it pulls the top out nearly flush though. Honda is very conservative as far as offsets in front of any stock car anyhow.
In the rear ive swapped spindles and wheel bearings that put the wheels 32mm further inward. I am running a -12mm offset 19x9 in the rear that sits just about flush. Im prolly gonna have to put a degree or degree and a half of negative camber and pull the fenders a few mm on the rear for clearance but whatever.
I considered a 225 35 in front and either a 225 35 or 215 35 in rear.. I realize thats odd running smaller on the rear, but im really pushing it as far as fitment goes in the rear. Plus my car could use some oversteer anyhow :) .
How small is a 215 35 19 on a 9 inch wide rim?
What tire do you guys suggest. I know they all vary from manufacturer. The main thing i want to stay clear of is, those tires with the built in rim/curp protector or the deep beads. When stretched i just dont think they look good personally. Pretty much the tires with the offset bead back further so more sidewall pops out there.
Thanks for any response.
This is all for a 98 bodystyle acura 3.2 tl if that matters
This is a 225 35 19 on a 9 inch, same kind of car. Looking at it makes me think a 215 is too much
stretch
This picture shows a 19x9 work, +45 offset with the stock rear spindle setup.

I would go with a 215 or the 8.5in and 225 on the 9in. If you need stretch, if your car is not low and about to rub than I would go wider. dont stretch if you don't have to. I would go with Falken FK452's or Kumho SPT's

my car is dumped.
Its got full coilovers though and its VERY stiff. all of the suspension is fully adjustable heim joints also so i can give it camber.
I wanted to keep the 225 in the front on the 8.5. I know it may not even look stretched. But theres some rough roads. Ive rarely bent a rear wheel. But im sure i could with something super stretched in the rear..
Do you have any pictures of a similar stretch on either of these tires?

I would not run 225 front, 215 rear. You will have a different stretch so it won't look balanced. Remember that the picture is only one brand of tire. Might be Dunlop FM901. Every tire stretches differently.
I would run
19x8.5 215/35/19
19x9 225/35/19
If you don't need the clearance go 225/235 FK452

I gotta agree with these guys. If you need the clearance, I would suggest Falken FK452's 215/35's for the 8.5's and 225/35's for the 9's.

its in mass pieces. This current build consisted of, full brakes, full suspension, full interior color change, repaint whole car, new wheels, and a full aero kit. I like to keep my stuff low key in the build process. Most of the pictures i have of it are with it all crappy looking and when i did stuff to it in 02
heh.
The only thing thats not changing really is the motor. And thats already totally built 11:1 anyhow..
Im kinda loosing ambition of wanting to keep it with all this work. But hopefully it will be done and i can enjoy it soon.
once i start putting stuff together really soon ill put up some pictures.. thanks for the imput though.
I got the 215 35 and 225 36 fk 452s
