I'm planning to buy 19" Vossen CV3, but before buying it I want to know what tire size should I be getting on these wheels?

Is 235/35 and 265/30 19" the most popular for this setup? if not please chime in and help a dude out!! thank you.

id personally prefer 225/35 and thats the closest to oem spec so i think its best
whats the width of the wheels?

Tire size looks fine.

I don't know the widths, but i did ask one of the vendors for more information on it.

EDIT:
19x8.5 front, 19x10.0 rear.

from what the vendor is saying,
225/35 19" and 255/35 19" are closest to OEM. But 255/35 19" is little bit too small for 19x10.0
235/35 19" and 265/30 19" are most popular

will I be rubbing of any sort? I'm dropped on H&R springs

You won't rub. Those are the most common sizes and it isn't aggressive so you'll be fine.

What do you mean by aggressive ? So since these are common sizes which is consider good for my setup correct? And also which size are you referring to ?

Since you let vossen decide your rim sizes, then they'll probably give you the most common size:

19x8.5 +32 for the front
19x10 +38 for the rear

These rim sizes with your tire selection of 235/35 and 265/30 will not require you to do any fender mods. They will fit without rubbing. These are also good tire sizes. If you went up to a 275/30 in the rear, you would probably need to roll your fenders.

However, when I say they aren't aggressive, I mean don't expect any real concave on the front or any super flush rims; those require you to go to a more "aggressive" offset.

sorry I'm new to this, Is there a way I can get aggressive offsets or is that the only offsets for the 19". Also it'll be concave Atleast correct ? I'll stick the rears to 265/30 because I don't want to rub at all.

If you getting them from vossen then you can get any offset you want.. remember aggressive offsets=fender mods

So the new 19s aren't as wide? Mine are 20x9 and 20x10.5. maybe thats why they aren't as concave in the rear.

You can ask for any offset you want from vossen, just that the offset they'll give you if you don't specify any will be "barely" concave, IMO. But before you go rushing off to get aggressive offsets, which will give you more concavity, you really should do your research. Getting aggressive offsets will result in fender mods which require quite a bit of skill and knowledge to get right.

Do a search and you will come up with literally hundreds of threads of people trying to find the right offsets. Read through them and get a grasp of what offsets you want and then ask on CL to confirm them. Its almost impossible for me to explain perfect offsets if you don't do your own research first.


The 19s can be wide, but the standard +32/+38 offsets wont be as wide as your 20s because they are 9 and 10.5 inches width, as opposed to the 19's which are 8.5 and 10 inches width. In order for the 19s to be as wide, they'll have to be running somewhere in the high twenties offset I think.

thanks, I think I rather go with something that wouldnt involve in fender rolling.

Thanks edgeucated!!! I've been trying to research but I don't know if Im researching it correctly on forums. I'm planning to just get the offsets that won't be rubbing on my car. Vossen told me that it'll have a concave look just not as much as the 20". But with the standard offset for the wheels, I won't be rubbing in the rear even if I have passengers sitting in the back seats correct? I'm dropped on H&R just to clarify again.
