Widest 19" tire with sportlines

What's the widest tire I can get for a 19" wheels with my sportlines. I was thinking 225 35. I didn't know if anyone has a 235 on theirs. Any help would be appreciated. THanks in advance.

Don't forget that the biggest factor is the wheel offset.
With 38-42mm, on 18s, some guys have no problems with 245s.

Good, that offset is right in the middle, so your tire should be centered pretty well in the wheelwell.
It depends on the width of your rim too, but I'd guess you should be ok with 235s or so. But I have no personal experience so wait to hear from the guys that are runnin these.
I'm not trying to be vague, it is just that a lot of things affect how wide your tires really are. Different tires from different companies sometimes vary in the cross sectional width, even with the same tread width. And an inch wider wheel will definately move the tires's edge out 1/2" So even if some guy comes on here and says that his 235s fit, you need to know his offset, width, and exact tire or his setup may not work on yours.

Good Luck!

235 should work fine. Ask Remedy, he knows good tire sizes for 19" wheels. Good luck...

im pretty sure he is running 235's on the back but he has a larger wheel.. he has 19x9.5 if im not mistaken... but 235's would be the largest you could safely go. 245 is gonnna be .3 inches taller as well as being a wider tire.. my scrub some

You have 18's. I'm talking about 19's.
