What are the thickest tires i can get on LCI if i put 19's with +35 +40 offsets??

I'm not sure which manufacturer makes the thickest tire, but there is probably an industry standard. I believe most performance tires have 1/4" of steel belts, then rubber molded around that, then 9/32" of actual tire tread.

A lot of people are also interested in how wide of tire they can run and I think 275/30/19 would be the widest I'd recommend on a 19x9.5 ET35 or ET40.

I have +45 offset in the rear with 9.5" rim on my LCI. I use a 265 tire but there will be no rubbing whatsoever with a 275 tire.
