Default What is the Recommended tire size for 19s

I need to replace 4 tires for a set of 19” tenzos. Right now im running on 225 /35/19 front and rear. Im lookin to get 225/35/19s for the front and wanted to know if I could go bigger in the back or should I stay the same all way around. What are my options for the rears and should I go wider or higher or both. Anyone with 19s can u share your thoughts or just someone who knows there ****

Any advice or feedback is much appreciated

thanks

225/35 all around is good if you are planning to lower your car at all.
At your current height it looks like you could probably get away with 245's in the rear.

How wide are your rims? Are they tucking or sticking out past the fenders?
Maybe it's just the lighting, can you take more pictures?

My last car I had 225/35 up front and 235/35 out back. They were a great combo. Here is a pic.

225, 235, or 245 will work great. It just depends on height and offset of wheels

And you should go with bigger tires on the back unless you plan on lowering it more. 245s should do the trick

they stick out a little i think or might be flush. im not sure. heres only other pic i have on my work comp that is more angled. id luv to put 245s in the back to help fill the gap since i dont plan on gettin coils or springs. would having bigger tire in the back effect the performance of the car or throw off the speedometer and mileage. heres a link to my rim Tenzo R Sport Wheels: Type-M V1 (Black) - 19x8.5 inch wheel or could be 10inch.

i may have to do that thanks for the input. Very tastefully done car. What front lip is that. also like your headlights. Any recommnedations for tires. i was lookin at toyos and hankooks. Reviews were decent for both. This is my Daily driver so i dont need a high performance street racing car.

topsecrets car is sitting low though. you have factory wheel gap to eliminate. I think 245/35s would look amazing. but thats just me.

this is a link on my.is this car has 255/40 on the rear with factory ride height. he has the flares on his which dont really appear to be in use they appear to be for looks. take it as you want but i think the 245/35 or 245/40s would fit nice

the "225 235 or 245" represents the width of the tire. running a wider tire isnt going to help "fill in the gap". only way to stop the monster truck look is to lower the car. that car needs to be lower.

the tire height for IS 19s should be 35 if you went bigger it can start to throw off your speedo.

that link doesnt give any info on the wheel offset. knowing the offset would help tell what tire width to go with.
