Tire sizing recommendation
Ok, guys... need some of your expertise on which tire size setup to go with. Here is what I have.
Car: 1993 GS300 (Fenders will be shaved/rolled)
Suspension: Ksport Coilovers
Wheels: Work VS-xx
F: 19x9 + 36
R: 19x10 +23
Q: Which setup do you think is more suitable? Can you recommend a setup?
Kumho SPT
F: 245/35/19
R: 255/35/19
OR
Falken FK452
F: 235-245/35/19
R: 255/40/19
Thanks in advance!

I would go a step wider in the back, 265s instead of the 255s. Other than that, I had the SPTs, they are ok, ride smooth, handle ok, but Ive never had or been in a car with the Falkens. Either way, 245s would go up front for me 255s are for 9" wheels, but I guess you want a stretched setup.

With pulled/rolled fenders you still have to put 255s in the back? I realize thats a pretty damn low offset, but I would think 265s would fit. Im more about safety, if you dont plan on pushing the car then I guess 255s would be fine. I just dont see it as safe with not enough tire on the rim, but thats just me. I have a friend of mine with a S13 240, he has 12" wheels in the back and hes stretched 265/40 on there, but hes thinking about putting a 275/35. I told him either way, Im not riding in his car. Hes got a turbo 1JZ swap in it, and has about an inch and half of exposed rim, hes freakin crazy.
Oh and one more thing...got with 255/40 if thats what you wanna do.

I'd do 235/35-19 + 245/35-19
The fronts are a slam-dunk, but the rears are going to take some work
unless you stretch the tires.
Also, my experience with the Kumhos is that they get quite noisy after about 5,000 miles.
I'd go for the Falkens - they look nicer, too.
