275/30/19 isn't the best fit for the back 255 35 19 seems to be dead on http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit

doesnt really matter, you can still easily bend stock 18" wheels, that is a risk you have to take when getting new wheels and tires, start driving more carefully

275/30/19 is slighty off stock diameter, but why get aftermarket wheels and stick with the same tire width as stock

I am gonna run 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 when my 19's get here.

but my question is will i rub with the tires that im going to get because if i am iim going to have them changed

ChrisM910

just called up my company and changed the order to 235 35 19 in the front and 275 30 19 in the rear thanks for the input i appreciate it

tim817

That's the best tire size for 19" with your set up

Offset also has alot to do with rubbing issues also not just tires

Hey Chris...glad to see you got the staggered setup. The 235s front and 275 rear are perfect. Sometimes the front if too big make a horrible noise turning in parking lots and etc. Youre on your way though, should look great. As for bending, I bent 4 of 5 rims on my IS3, you should be ok...especially in Florida...my poit being, if youre gunna bend them a few mm of tires isnt going to help or hurt you.

thats true i guesss your right, yeah we have pretty good roads down here in miami so hopefully i shouldnt have a problem. I cant wait to get them let me tell you for three piece forged wheels all chrome and staggered with tires i got them for pretty cheap atleast i think so. but you guys are a great help. another thing with that tire set up would i have a big gap. i cant tell you what off set there going to use because i know nothing about that but if it isnt flush i will make sure that i send them back and get it right.

Hey guys after going thru all the threads regarding our tire size I'm pretty confident that we all agree on 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 as the best tire size. Now I've looked and we still don't have a definitive answer for offsets, I am willing to wait for rims with the right offset so any help would be appreciated. From what I've gathered it's 36/38 front and 40 rear???

Thanks again!

ChrisM910

you see i ordered my rims and they didnt even ask me about offset, is that something i have to tell them or will they just know???

unless they have experience with the new IS... you are probably better off telling them what offset you want.

ask them what offset they are using and go from there.

ChrisM910
