      I doubt it.

      16x8 et20 and running 225.45.16 and it is pretty close with a basic roll. I think I could run a 235 but that might be pushing it.

      Roll it a lot and it would probably work.

        ^You realize the 245/35 is 1.2" shorter than a 225/45 right?

          I have the same setup but my offset is 14, and I'm FLUSH with my front fenders lips and I have no clearance in back, but I'm on coilovers.
          Seeing as how you're on H&R sports, have your fenders rolled, since the springs are soft and you'll be tracking it.

                  This is fitment #37 I've spec'd for you. lol.

                  Without spacers, that's already at the limit for the rear. This isn't taking the ridiculously small diameter into account though, so it will probably clear safely. You'd have to find at least 10mm of space by rolling, which isn't the easiest.

                    This is for a new car though! What I've seen the 195/45 is 23" so still a touch taller than the popular 215/40 at 22.8"

                    It's probably a bit extreme on the spacers, I may just get them and see where it's at.

                      alright, just bought a set of 14" et30 wheels. Prime style 239's. realistically how much rubber could fit in the wheel wells? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes ???

                        i already asked about rubber and rolling on my 16x8.5 et13s. If i want to make the rears even with the fronts, how much spacer? And i assume more rolling for more spacer

                          15-20mm for a low early model is pretty much even

                            Those will be very close to the front struts, you will likely need a 3-5mm spacer to clear comfortably. Otherwise, you're good to go.

                              For early arches, I vote 10mm. Maybe 15mm.

                                Looking for the ideal tire size so no rolling will be needed. Thanks.
