OK, I found another ASA wheel I like a lot better, but I cannot seem to find it for sale anywhere. Does anybody know anything about the ASA FR4?

 

i have Sumitomo HTRZ II tires on my car and i love them.... they are kinda expensive depending on your budget, but the tread design is viscious in my opinion, it looks awesome

 

Just to chime in.... wheel width is very significant, but so is the offset. I'm at 35mm offset right now, and I can't even fit my index finger in the gap between the tire and the upper ctrl arm?.... In addition, if you stretch 225 to fit on 8.5", doesn't that stiffen up your sidewalls a lot more? Of course, in many cases, this is a good thing. I opted to go 17X8 on 235 because I make frequent trips to NYC, and I need some cushion in the tires. also, they protect your wheels better Of course, my tire radius because a tiny bit larger... [&:] Lastly, forged wheels is always the way to go, IMO...

 

Check out reviews on the Toyo Proxes-4. One of the best all-season tires with quite a few of us using them atm. Good wet/dry drip, not much sound feedback, and doesnt wear fast

 

I have 19x8.5 with 235/35/19 on sport with no problem. Even when I have a car full of people + full tank of gas I don't rub, from the side the tire is hidden in the fender.

 

I love mine very quiet + good ride even on 19's

 

That is crazy... I was running 235/45/17's and would rub, once I lowered the car. The rears would never rub, but when turning the fronts would, as I rolled over bumps at speed. I got rid of my 235's and went to 225's, and I'm now much better.
I like toyo tires, the proxes 4 as well as the T1-S or R... but I just found that their prices went up and up.

 

i got 8.5" on my car, it looks really nice, you can tell they are wide rims, but they fit inside the wheel well for sure, real nice look

 

I don't get it either cuz I have heard other people say the same thing as you.....mine are fine

 

It's because you haven't lowered your car... that explains it.
