Is anybody running a 19X9.5 rim with a 235/35/19 tire on front with the car lowered about an inch. Or does anybody think it would work without rubbing?

 

I think some people (HDDP etc) are having problems under hard cornering with original size rims on the front, when lowered.
Do a search somebody has photos somewhere of the front wheel rubbing.
Somebody has also 'rolled-out' the wheel arch flanges to overcome the rubbing.
I have no idea if this will affect the steering response etc., and/or any other systems.

 

I kind of thought there would be a problem stepping up to a 235/35/19. I ran across a set of 19" chrome wheels for a pretty good price, but they are all four 9.5 inches wide and a 225/35 would be stretched to fit the wheel. I have already heard a rub once since I lowered the car with the stock wheels & tire's on front.

Here is another potential problem (I think it's in INTENSBLUE's gallery)...

Thanks for the advice, if I end up doing something with chrome wheels I'd better just go with 18's, I really can't afford to replace a perfectly good pair of front tire's like I just did on the back. I was helping a friend get some chrome wheels for his black SRT6 and got the fever myself. When the car is sitting in the garage I look at it and think chrome wheels sure would look good on it, but when it's outside on a nice day I look at it and don't think they make a wheel that would look any better on the Aero Blue. The OEM's just look classy on the car, but on the black car of my friends you just can't go wrong with doing chrome wheels.

 

I don't really run high speeds on a regular basis, I've only done the high speeds over 170 MPH two times. Other than that I've only had it up to 100 MPH a few times, I hardly ever even drive it. I do need to get it out more often, I've had it since October and it's only got 1,894 miles on it. It's not even been out of the garage since I had the new 285's put on the back two weeks ago and the only time it's been out since I put the Eibach springs on it was to go get the four wheel alignment done. I really need to get it out and see what the springs & tire's have done for it as far as handling and traction, I know it rides a hell of a lot better with the new springs.
