So in my local classifieds there are some Falken circuit rims and tires. Size is 235/35/19. I know the side wall is going to be super skinny but he just wants 400 with an extra tire that can be patched and locking lugs. Let me know what you guys think preferably before I buy. Oh and I'm at stock height so if anyone has something to drop my E with let me know what it is and how much you want. Thanks to everyone in advance

Do you really want tires that are more than 2" smaller in diameter than stock, and have a load rating that is 400 lb less (even a 50psi)?

I assume that since you are getting the tires together with the rims, that the rims are wide enough (8.5"). What is the offset?

Didn't realize it was that big of a difference. What do most people run, 245/50? The tires are on the rims already but I really like the rims so may need to get new tires. He doesn't know the offset off the top of his head but I will check it out when I show up tomorrow to look at them. Thanks for the help

Forgot to show a pic of the new rims. Put on 245/45 and they work good. Going to lower it now.

When you bring it down, it's seriously going to look nice! ;-) I know someone who's selling a set of springs, PM me if you're interested.
