Default Tire Size

Hey guys im currently running 235/35/ZR19. Can any body tell me what the benefits are of running a bigger series tire like 45 series. I want to get a smoother ride but not sure if this is going to do it for me. Can some body help with this.

How low are you? 19's won't be compatible with 45's. Plus they look retarted unless you got an SUV. 18's may fit with 45. That's the thing with big rims, they won't be smooth and look good at the same time. Go with 40/r18.

Im sitting on 2002 Sport Suspension now. Its not as low as you see in the pic below. I have the 19's already so to go buy 18's is not happening. Would a 40 series tire fit. With my 35 series that i have now its like rolling around on rubber bands. i was thinking like a 235/40/r19 or any combo with a 40/r19. What do you think. Thanks again for the help.

I dont know if that is ok actually. Cause your overall tire's size will be huge. You will need to find some good tires with thick sidewalls.
Here, ask them, they know watsup. http://www.audizine.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12

Rubbing is not the issue with me, i just want to have more rubber on my tires. Want it a bit thicker. Do you think a 235/40/19 would fit. I have a Sport Suspension right now.
