fyi...I have the 19" linea corse's and lowered with eibach's with 275 35 19 and rolled fenders. If you get on them hard they will rub just a hair. I might try some 285's next time around and push my luck. Just thought I would chime in.

Yah, I am scared of rub as I want to auto-x the car on occasion. It is good to know that they can rub with eibach's. I wonder if another lowering solution would prevent rub? Stiffer springs maybe...

OP...i have seen 295s on the rear on a V with a 10" wheel. i believe the widest tires you can get on the back is 305, and the front is 255 or 265. that was with Stock fenders too.

The conclusion I drew after reading hundreds upon hundreds of posts (and asking just about as many questions) was that I can be 99% sure that without rolled fenders, or aftermarket trailing arms, or any other suspension modification except for lowering springs, a 275-35-19 tire will be problem free. That's what I'll be ordering to wrap the wheels in once the nicer weather's around. 245-40-19 front and 275-35-19 rear. I already know what tires I'm getting and I can't fricken wait to see 'em on my V. I had 'em on my previous car and absolutely loved them. You'd never guess a tire would get so many compliments.
Last, even if you made the necessary modifications, a 305 tire on a 10" rim is probably really pushin' your luck for auto-xing or even spirited driving on the streets. I wouldn't be comfortable with a tire that's over 2" wider than the wheel. Search the forums (the other one) for a story about someone who put 275's on their 8" rim (almost 3 inches wider than wheel)... they just about killed themselves on the highway because of the lack of stability.

Agreed... I saw those and emailed wheeldude right away. But the only ones that will be in a 6x115 or whatever we are cursed with is the 855s. BTW they mentioned something about most concave rims not fitting over our brakes.

That's gotta be with aftermarket trailing arms, at a minimum. I searched the forums for countless hours before I ordered my hyper black L.C. Veneto's and although there were some varying experiences it all boiled down to most people having issues with rubbing on any tire over a 275 width when lowered with either H&R's or Eibach's.

ALL,
We are going to try and organize a group buy on LC855's. Wheeldude will manufacture them for us, I am hoping if we get enough people together we can get a good discount on the price. If you are interested PM me & we will try to work with Wheeldude to get the best deal.
THanks,

I was about to order the other Linea's but I'd like to see what these look like first.
Anyone know what the typical turn-around time is from wheeldude?

Has anyone run a 295 on a 19x10 successfully with a lowered cts-v? If so, what trailing arms did they use?
