I have 19x8 (45mm offset) Axis Se7en Mods wrapped with 235/35/19 Goodyear Eagle F1s. This is the only 235 series tire you can find in 19" that will stay around the stock diameter. Every other 235 series tire is about an inch over stock which will cause some clearance issues. Anything lower like a 215 tire will be stretched over the rim and look goofy, not to mention your wheel will be more prone to curb rash. Im running the stock suspension (for now) and i have no rubbing issues at all. My tires barely clear the fender in the back and theres probably 3/8"-0.5" of play between the tire and strut, so running a 8.5" wide wheel may cause some issues. However, because of my 13" Baer brakes and I have a 2.5" lip on these wheels, Im having to run custom 13mm spacers to give an 1/8" clearance between my wheel and brakes. I still havent found the right size lengthened wheel studs to date. If you buy spacers from H&R they will provide you with studs.
