How certain are you that it will fit awd. My one rear stock is not even close to fitting. I am interested in 245 40 19 on front with as least poke. Any help?

I don't think AWD has any differences in terms of wheel fitment. 245/40 is ~9mm taller than the 255/35 so you may have issues there. At +32 front on an 8.5" wheel my front tire is very very close to the strut as is it; there's probably like 0.25" of clearance

I run 245/40/19 on my stock wheels with no issues.

My odo is off a little, but the ride is much better.

My 19x8.5 35 offset Rohana Wheels fit with no issues.

There is room at the strut and the caliper, No problem. The 19" wheels sit above the spring seat anyway.

I'm buying 245/40-19 tires for it to fill out the wheel gap a little.
I live were the roads are bad so a slightly taller sidewall is good for me.

Yes, I know the speedo will be off 1mph at highway speeds.

245/40-19 on all 4? That should definitely give you a slightly comfier ride

Yes,
I want to be able to rotate tires. they last longer that way.

After a pot hole claimed the life of one of my 18" OEM wheels , I replaced the remaining OEM wheels with 4 x Platinum Smooth Trip (18x8) from Tire Rack.

AWD

 

[CoconutRob]

Lowered?

 

[CoconutRob]

Looks very good!

No, just upsized the wheel/tire package to an inch larger overall diameter. It fills the wheel well really nicely. Some people say upsizing is a no no, others will tell you the only issue is with the speedo being off slightly. I’m very happy with my choice.

 

[CoconutRob]

Finally I think that's the set up I want looks very good

Okay, so this just happened. I wanted the ability to rotate all around, so these ARK 225S fit the bill, at the right price. Tires are all 245/40/19

What offsets did you go with. That is what I am afraid of, I personally don't like how much the fronts poke. It does look good tough.

Anyone running 19x8.5's up front with 255 width tires and 19x9.5's in the rear with 285 width tires?

This is the configuration I would like to go with but I want to make sure that the tires will fit the wheels and that the package isn't too large to fit under the fenders. To my eyes, tire poke is ugly. Tiresize.com says they'll fit, but it seems like no tire/wheel vendor wants to sell me this combo.
