Hey, recently i bought some Niche Targa wheels to use on my old I30 (2009), they're 19x8,5 et44, and i'm thinking about using a 235/35 tires to get some wheel protection, is there anyone here using these tires? Any rubbing by using it?    :mrgreen:


Ps: The car is lowered on Eibach springs!

235/35 might be a bit tall.
215 or 225 would appear to be OK.

or 245/30R19

But as to clearance. That's anyone's guess.
You've got the wheels so you just need to find a tyre shop who'll fit something and offer it up into the wheel wells.
Consider what happens at full lock each way and also when under load. As in with people on board as well as with the body leaning in a corner and on an uneven surface.

If it's a close call, you could get the wheel arches rolled by a panel shop (but then you need painting or some sort of edge trim...)
