Need pics to suggest sizes. It better be super aggressive to want that kinda stretch. I don't even need all that and I run a 10" front on a 245/35 and a 12" rear on 285/30. Both are a nice little stretch not to much not to little.

I think a 245 on a 11" isn't really needed from what I'm thinking. Your not even that low anyway

How low are you in the rear and what are your offsets. I just helped a guy out with a 11" rear low offsets and he runs a 265/30 rear with natural camber.

I wasn't just taking about sedans my friend.

Thats impossible if he is as low as i am. My cousins just as low as me and has a 19x10.5 et 28 in the rear with a 265 tire and he rubbed the sidewalls right off even with rolled fenders and 3.7 degrees of negative camber.

You want to poke it not tuck it. He has not near the camber I run and alot more room.



You can go with the 245 though that's what I recommended to him the 1st time but no shop in his town was willing to do the stretch

There's lots of these around just got to look. More of the real Works actually compared to reps.

It's a nice classic look. As long as your happy that's what counts man. Envoy
