noob here to my new 08 A/C SE...sorry in advance, i did search and found a few posts on the subject, but nothing that really addressed my specific question.

I am picking up a set of staggered 19" G35 Rays Forged wheels tomorrow. i understand that 235/40 is a good size for an AC, but is that for stock suspension only? right now the car is stock suspension wise, but i MAY consider doing a very subtle eibach or tein kit down the road. will 235/40 be ok for a 1-1.5" drop, or would i be better off sticking with 245/35? i if i choose to never lower, whats the most rubber i can fit on these wheels without rubbing? thanks

also wanted to add that according to discount tire direct, 245/40 will fit on the AC without lowered suspension. anyone running this setup?

Any of these will work fine: 225-245/40 or 245-255/35
