What size tire are you running, right now? Or, better yet, what is the "stock" tire size?

Go HERE:

Plug in your stock size, and it will show you what saze you'll need, to keep your speedo somewhat accurate.

My 19x8s fit with an offset of 37 (they're a 42 offset but I'm using 5mm spacers). I had 235-35-19 tires on them and they rubbed like crazy on my fenders (even with the fenders rolled). I'm lowered 2.5". I think a 225-35-19 will just barely tuck. With 9" wide wheels and a 2" drop you WILL rub. There's not enough room in the wheelwells to tuck that much wheel inside unless you're running a crazy stretch of a narrow tire.
