I have a 2014 gt California special lowered with ford racing 1.5 inch lowering springs. I just bought a set of tsw mirabeau 19x9.5 inch rears. Was wondering what size tire and brands are you guys going with on my setup. I am na right now but planning on boosting this winter. Thanks for the help. Rear wheels are +40 offset also.

A set of nitto nt05r's provide great traction and great handling all rolled up in 1 package. With 9.5 wide wheels i would go no bigger then 285/35/19's. I have 10 inch wide wheels with 305/35/19 nt05r's awesome tires! Discount tires have the cheapest prices and free shipping!

ideally the 275/35/19 is perfect for a 9.5" wide rim but each manufacturer is different, I run bridgestone's and the 285/35/19 is more suited for the 10" rim, but if you like some bulge then go with the 285/35, for me it was more about responsiveness from the tire so I went with the 275/35. I use to run a 285/35 BFG tire but I could feel the tire roll on itself during hard cornering with the bulge.

I'm lowered 1.25/1.5 on 19x9.5 275/40's all around. No rubbing at all for me. You could maybe squeeze out a 285/40 in the back (but like said above, that is probably the biggest I'd go on 9.5's).
