Hmmm...245-40 on a 19" rim would probably work with a 40mm offset. 265 may be a bit wide. Then again, I'm comparing to a Maxima but it should be similar.

I went to check them out and it resulted that the front was 8" and the rear was 10", some scuffs but no dents, I can easily repair the scuffs and
repaint them.At first I was kind of disappointed because of the rear width but ended taking them anyway, if they rubbed I would just freshen them up and sell them. But to my surprise they fit with plenty of space, tires are pretty shot but they can do for a couple of months until I get new ones. I KNOW I will do a drop, not too much because the roads are a piece of s*** here ( 1" or so), here are the pics. :couch

This was the moment when I got happy because the rears fit :yesnod

Now I have to save up for new tires and coils.

hope your suspension is stiff enough in the back to keep the tire from hitting the fender. That does not look like a 40mm offset in the rear.

Drop is a must, Im curious to see the fitment afterward. Might also consider painting your calipers now that they are naked. I waited too long to paint mine but it really does clean up the look.

Hear you on the roads man, I feel like they are actually getting worse as the summer progresses rather than any repairs being done. Why are we paying taxes?

The drop is coming soon and also new tires, I'm undecided on color for the calipers. Over here in Dover they do half a** patches , my street is horrible, what a broke a** town . Should stop paying taxes. :mad:

I guess they would stick out the rims too much, and the 10" wouldn't let me turn without rubbing. :confused:

Yet the front are the drive wheels in a FWD which is where the rubber comes into play :)
