To Rub or Not To Rub + Looking For 16" Stock Wheel

[krunk_muzik]

I've done a WHOLE lot of searching through here and i still can't seem to find a clear answer. I'm planning to buy new wheels for my '03 LS. I already know which ones I want. They're 19" x 8.5" with an offset of +42mm. I'm also lowering it with Eibach springs. So the question is, what's the best width of tire for these wheels without rubbing or rolling the fenders? I'm debating between 245/35/R19 or 255/35/R19. I don't want the tire to stretch, which is why I was considering 255. What do you guys think?

PS. I'm also looking for ONE (yes, seems silly) OEM 16" 11- Spoke Chrome Wheel for the LS. My rear right wheel is bent, and it shakes a lot. I want to leave the stocks on for the winter. Anyone selling? Thanks!

I'm not a wheel guy but I'm thinking it will rub. A few member have 19x8 rims with +46 offset , 245/35/19 tires and it sits flush. 255's, half an inch wider rims and 4mm more to the outside might be pushing it, although getting the fender lip rolled might help. You shold try to use one of those tire calculators and put in your specs to see how much wider everything will be and measure how much room you have to play with. You'll need to measure and punch some numbers but you should get a pretty good idea on it.

OR let a wheel guy chime in.
