Just making sure before I order the tires!
Hey Guys,
So I am really pleased to say my new rims are now safely across the pond, and sitting patiently in the garage waiting for tires.
I managed to snap up probably one of the very last sets of Wedsport SA-67R's available (now sadly discontinued ).
The rim sizes are as follows:
19 X 9 (Front) with 35 offset
19 X 10 (Rear) with 42 offset
I'm looking at buying a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports (MPS) with the money I made on the sale of my OEM BBS rims.
Sizes I have read on here that should work fine without any rubbing are:
245/35/19 - Front
275/30/19 - Rear
Just want to double-check with all the wheel/tire guru's that you agree with my findings before I pull the trigger and order them!
My car is currently running on stock suspension/stock height with no arch rolling or anything like that.
I may end up going with the KW V3 coilovers at some point down the line, but that won't be for a good few months, unless I get a lottery win or unexpected windfall!!
Just trying to provide as much detail as I can to get these spot on.
All advice/guidance will be gratefully received.
Cheers.
Peter

Thanks a lot Sean.
With the cost of tires being a lot higher over this side of the pond (as with pretty much everything especially fuel! Lol), it's not something I would want to get wrong!
Hopefully a few more will just confirm what you are telling me before I hit the pay button!
I was also wondering if this was the best size setup I can go with? As I mentioned in my first post, I am running stock ride height at the moment, and won't be dropping the car with lowering springs (may do coilovers with a slight drop in the next year of so).
I'm guessing I should feel some improvements over the OEM sizes I was running on the OEM BBS wheels??

Would a 285/30/19 work at the back?
Think some of you guys are running that wide?
I don't want to roll my arches if I can avoid it.
Think the fronts would be fine with the sizes I mentioned in my first post, but I'd love to get an even bigger rear if possible??
Thanks in advance for your help guys.

If you are open to a different brand, the Bridgestone SO-4 Pole Position is offered in the 285 and has been used by other members with success.

ISF Pat is running a 305, m4ksup is running like a 285 i think, Im running a 255/275, wish I was running a 245/275 to help the front rubbing.
