How low is your drop and what size tires are you running?

Not sure how low, but I'm corner balanced. Theres pretty much no gap from tires to fenders and I'm running 245/35/19 up front and 305/30/19 in the rear. Amazing combo of tires.

I am actually shopping for 19" wheels and am going through this right now. I've pulled up a lot of threads and I think at the end of the day, you just have to pick if you are going the route of taller tires or not. If no, go with the 235/35 and 315/25 config and understand you will have a small tire selection. If yes, go with 305/30 in the back and then decide how concerned you are about the diff. If you are concerned, go with 245/35 in front and understand you may need to roll fenders if you lower. It does not seem like rolling the fenders is a very big deal though. At least that is my take on it, but there will always be a lot of varying options, most of which are fine and I feel like we are both probably sweating the decision too much.

Hi James (IRISH100P),

Any issues with rubbing on the 245/35 up front? Fenders rolled?
Thanks!

With as low as I am, my fenders are rolled to the max. I to rub slightly at full lock, which is really only when I'm pulling in and out of the garage or a parking space. It's low speed and doesn't bother me enough to trim the fender liners to stop it. no rubbing anywhere else though.

Thanks!
I think I'm just going to go with 305/30/19 (R) and 235/35/19 (F) as I'm concerned about rubbing as I'm lowering the car. I currently have 235/35/19 up front and have no issues, fenders are rolled on the front. With the lowering I should have no issue still. I do want to move up to 305/30 in the rears as I think 295/30 are a little too small for the nice wide A$$ of the Turbo!

For sure, having the tires installed tomorrow morning but springs won't be going on for another week or so.
