Oh it's definitely aggressive alright. So much so that I was rubbing on the front
So yeah, 255/40 will work best IMO. That's also what majority of the people run anyways.
What caused the rubbing on yours? Did you have to roll any fenders?

Here's mine

Nice, can't go wrong with Mag Blue. Car was too low with not enough camber. It was sitting at around -1 degree of front camber but it wasn't enough and I didn't want to spend $1,000 on front camber plates. So I ended up raising the car 3/4 inches with a corner balance and called it a day.

Don't think there's much to roll on this car. I felt the fender underneath and it was already somewhat tucked over.

245/50/19? that would be way too tall, it won't even fit within the fenderwell arch and tire well.

what is the offset (also called ET) of your wheels?
You don't think it will fit at all? Damn my et is 35 all around square set up.

245/50/19 is 28.6". It will contact the spring perch, rip the fenderwell liner while turning, accelerate way slower and look 4x4 off road.

Thank you so what would be the best size to run and still have a good amount of ride quality. Would 245/4019 be good?with 19x8.5 +35 be good?

And sure, here are some pics of my current set up.
How much camber in the rear to fit?

Think it was sitting at roughly -2
But it's a safe fitment in the rear

Here's my 18x9.5 setup if you want to reference it:

255/35/18 is perfect with lowered cars!

Do you think a 255/40r18 would work with a 18x9.5 square setup?

Honestly, if you're just going to fit a 255/40/18, then I would go with a 18x9 ET29-32 wheel.

The purpose of going with a 18x9.5 wheel would be to use a square set of wider tires like a 275/35/18 at the track.
