Beafy tires what ya think?
I recently got these wheels and tires brand new for a fraction of the tires worth alone and just threw them on. The wheels are 19x9.5 +22 wrapped in Continental DWS06+ 245/45 275/40 R19. The fronts did not clear BBK, 5mm hubcentric spacers and rings were needed and added to both the front and rears. I also installed BC Racing BR Coilovers and Whiteline adjustable end links. Dampening settings are both 15 from hard at the moment. The tires rub a little when going over decent size bumps and when taking sharp turns too fast at full lock, mostly on the rears. The fronts also look like they’re slightly toe-in. My adjustable SPL FUCA’s & Rear Billet Camber Arms and bolts were also delivered today. I bought the SPL arms and received lockout & bucket eccentric bolts and an additional Brake Master Cylinder Brace thrown in the deal. Do I need anything else in order to get an alignment?.. and am I good to drive the car meanwhile? Car drives nice, the grip is great and ride is smooth aside from the occasional rubbing. I may have a potential buyer for the tires. If I do sale what size(s) would y’all recommend for this setup? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Looks kind of silly, IMO. But your car, your choices. Props for experimenting.
Does it hook up any better?

Haha I agree. It’s been bothering me. I’m having 245/40/19 squared or 245/40-275/35 19 installed tomorrow, and have a buyer lined up for this set. (Mustang owner) Any suggestions on a tire brand? It definitely hooked up better.

I've been into 3-season tires for the last 20 years... 8 months of summers, 4 months of snow tires. All I really want is to maximize grip with a reasonably priced street tire, one that will last 15k+ miles. Based on that, I've been happy with the Contis.

The tighter sidewall in the rear looks better, IMO.
Now clean and dress those tires. Man if I had a black car, that would be an obsession.

Yessir! That’s the first thing I did after having them installed. I was actually going into oreilly’s after leaving the shop when I took this. They were filthy!. Whatever that stuff was it was hard to get off especially right behind the lip. They’re clean and dressed now though.🫡👌🏽

Thanks man, yeah it definitely looks better. Just need to install the SPL FUCAs rear camber arms and have it aligned now. I want to replace the sway bars as well. In doing so after having it aligned, could they throw off the alignment?
