Default what is your guys tire size?

I am buying some rims and they are 19's and I was just wondering the one's that are running 19's on their IS what are your tire size's? The shop said that they recomend that the tire size should be 215/35/19, does that sound right?


Thanks for the help

It all depends on the width for your 19's and offset. For the fronts - if its around 19x7.5 - 8 - 225/35/19 or 235/35/19 . Same for the the rears - if its around 19x8 - 9.5 - size 235/35/19 , 245/35/19, 255/35/19.

215/35/19 prolly work - What width size 19's rims? Size the same all around or staggerd setup?


As for my wheels, I have 19 x 7.5 fronts running 225/35/19 and my rears are 19x8.5 running 235/35/19 (my rear can go as high as 255/35/19 without rubbing).

my 19s' have 225/35/ZR19 on them. i would much recomend getting 225 at the minimum. if you have 19x8 or something i would suggest you get 235/35/19s.

The rims that I ordered are 19x7.5's and the shop said that they recomend 215/35/19. So I see what everybody else is running now I am a little curious.


Thanks

215 sounds right. you can probably fit 225 on it if it doesn't rub

225s won't rub unless you have the wheel turned all the way one way or another and you're backing up. that was the only rubbage that i had and not enough to really complain about.

The only way 225 will rub is if you get the wrong offset.
