Front I have 18x8 with 225/40/18 which fit well. I have run 245's up front on 8.5 rims but I cannot see a reason nor am I sure it is possible to run 255s up front.

If you want to make sure things will fit without the hassle and trouble shooting I would go with a 19x8 with 235/35/19 and 19x10 with 275/30/19 tires.

My son hopped a curb and destroyed two of my wheels so I am currently looking at a new set up and I think this is the route I am going to take as well. Most likely I will be getting the 808's from Wheel Dynamics.
I plant to lower my car about .75 to 1 inch later on so with that in mind do you think i could run 245 up front with 285 in the rear with no issues? I think that would be about perfect, would it cause understeer? Wing, is the ride much harsher with the 19s and lower profile tires? Thanks
