Default x-ricer has 235/35-19 (8.5" et35) and 245/35-19 (9.5" et40), but..
he is not able to go as low as the 225 crowd.

235/35-19 seems to be the norm on et38-40, but based on Got Audi?'s experience with 235/35-19 on et35, he also cannot go as low without occasional rubbing.

I have et35's which NEED 225/35-19's not to rub with crazy lowering.

I'm considering 225/35-19 front and 255/30 rear because of rubbing wqith et35, OR 255/30 all the way around. Buying two Rosso's to test today.
