I've been going back and forth about this for a while now about purchasing wheels and since my saving acount dropped to less than 4%, I decided to start moving money but I digress.

I decided to get some 19" wheels for my 2IS, 19x8.0 with 40mm offset in front and 19x9.5 with 40mm offset on the back. My car isn't dropped and I probably won't drop it, at least not anytime soon. I also don't want to cause any rubbing so I'm sticking with 40mm offset even if it's not flushed (doesn't worry me much whether it's flushed or not).

I don't really want to compromise the ride comfort of my car (that's why I'm not lowering at the time) and my question is, what's the best tire size for a 19" tires to get for the most comfortable ride with a 19" wheels as possible? Some say the bigger the tire, the more comfortable the ride is, if that's true then I guess the question becomes whats the biggest tire I could get without causing any problems such as rubbing, etc...?

Thanks for any the help, it will be appreciated.

225/35 and 265/30 IMO

19's will not be as "comfortable" as 18's, and 18's are not as comfortable as 17's. More sidewall = more comfort. Less sidewall = less comfort. 19's and 20's have the least amount of sidewall, 17's the most.

I got that part down, it's just when it gets into specifics that I get lost. I was going to get 18's but since I'm not dropping the car, I figure 19's is the other best option of closing in the wheel/fender gap without sacrificing too much ride comfort.

Get 265/35/19 and 235/35/19 with 19x8.5 up front and 9.5 in the rear here are some pics of my car with that set up and it rode fantastic, but then again I did have PS2s on it, which are the best tire by far you can buy.

I wouldve told him to get 235/35 too but hes running a 19x8

Then I would get 225/40 and 265/35

The greater the overall tire difference from stock, the more your speedometer/odometer will be out-of-spec.

Also, the 19" may just make your car all the higher, and not fill in the wheel-well-gap unless you drop or go with a bigger tire that increases overall diameter without rubbing.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. Which one would have a bigger sidewall?
225/40 or 225/35? I'm assuming this is for the front?
265/35 or 265/30? I'm assuming this is for the rear?
