hey guys whats the correct tire size to use on 19 inch wheels to keep the odometer readings correct and to maintain the stock overall diameter of the wheel? TIA

You have more than 2000 post and dont know it yet?
225 35 19 is the correct size. you can go wider than 225 depending of the wheels.

Re: got a question for the 19 inch high rollers (turdbogls)

any combo that will maintain an overall tire diameter of 627.5 mm is perfectly fine. Going +/- 0-2% is also ok
most of us know this but for those of you who don't and want to size tires in the future:
aaa/bb/cc tire = ((aaa x bb) x 2) + (cc x 25) = overall tire diameter in mm
225/45/17 tire = ((225 x 45) x 2) + (17 x 25) = 627.5 mm
225/35/19 tire= ((225 x 35) x 2) + (19 x 25) = 632.5 mm = + 0.7 % = ok
235/35/19 tire = 639.5 = + 1.9 % = ok

I am running 235/35/19 up front and back and it fits real well. No rubbing up front on a 8.5" rim with a 25mm offset.

I don't understand this?? I'm running 19x8.5 CH's with an offset of et30.
I rub like crazy on the edge of the fender liner. Almost right where it meets the fender. Its only the tire that hits, but its a really annoying sound. I am pretty LOW though....
edit: I ONLY RUB UP FRONT

you won't rub with et35.
If mine were et35 I wouldn't be rubbing. Its "just" rubbing by like 2mm....

Hmm on my ch's I am running a 5mm spacer in front and an 8mm in the back and it will occasionally rub on the back over dips when people are in the car. No problem on the front though. How much are you dropped? I am dropped about 1.6" or so.
