Why 225 all around? What your offset and width of your rim?

So you don't want a stretch look? Cause you 225 in the 9.5 rear is a stretch which doesn't match your 225 up front on 8.5. But you still haven't provided your wheel offset.

You can go 235/35 and 265/30 or 225/35 and 245/35. But the first set if you want a wider tires.

225/35 front and 255/40 in the rear for 19's will be pretty good. It's pretty close to the overall stock diameter and it's not stretched.

Hankook V12's are the best bang for your buck!

+1 on this. You should stay within the stock diameter before affecting the handling characteristics of the car.
