    Anyone else running a 19x8 or 18x8 rim. 38 offset. I was thinking 225/45/19 in front and 235/45/19 in rear. Looking at the 45 series to have some meat on the rim and to close up the gap. The truck will be getting a 2/3 drop in two weeks.
    What size are you guys running. What's the max width you would recommended for the rear ?

    Also anyone running a 2/3 drop without notching the frame?

    20190506_173324.jpg I'm on 18x8.5 +25 (235/40-18) front and 18x9.5 +38 (255/40-18) rear @ 4/4 drop with djm mini notch. I also have a set of stock wheels 19x8 front 19x8.5 wheels on 45 series tires i think 225 and 245. Neither setup rubs under normal driving. Only rubs on the passenger side if I have 2x full sized dirt bikes in the bed and a passenger.
    The tire profile on the 19s are what I'd consider "squared" not stretched or bulging. Ill admit the ride is better with the 19s with the 45s but they just looks so skinny...

    Takemoto thank you for the info. I am actually looking at a 225\45\19 front and 245\45\19 rear. Does the 245 still stay tucked under the rear fender ?

    Yes. Both wheel setups are flush or tucked my 245s and 255s. Seeing that Im a good 2" lower than you all around and running 40s I doubt you will have issues with 45s. I just confirmed my G35 stock 19s are also on 40 series tires.
