I'm honestly in love with my wheel setup... DRIV/Niche GT 19x8.5 34 with 255/30zr19
it is the widest you can go without stretching ( I hate stretched tires, ugly, uneven wear and not safe)

ya i have to agree with guiguilandry stretched tires look like shit and are not safe. i have quantum tek 18 inch rims with 235/40/18 and i like them. but you have to get rims that you like. what is your price range for rims and tires.

front and back.. it is also the widest you can go in front too without rubbing when dropped 3,25'' like that (keep in mind that i don't have lot of suspension travel, du to the stiffness of the coilover)...

You are using a 34mm offset? Im using a 42mm and the biggest I've gone is a 235 and its bloody close to the strut.

yep 34 offset is the only way to fit a 8,5 in wide rim in there, on stock strut I had to use a 1/8 spacer on the rear to clear.. I still have them on my coilover
