lowered or unlowered? i think 19's rub on the rear at least with any sort of lowering, but 18's and a 30/15 drop shuld be just about fine

19`s with arch mod

 

But 18`s very safe

Dont go wider than 225 if lowered

or 235 if not lowered

If you gonna get 19's you have to fold the rear arch lip up otherwise it will just cut into your tyres. I've got 19's on mine and they dont rub. I'm running 235/35's and they dont rub at all. The cars not lowered at the moment but the front will be getting dropped slighty 10-20mm the back will stay the same as it sits just right already.
