Hi guys, just bought an aftermarket wheel in 19, just wondering what would be the optimal tire size in regards to width that I can run. I wanted to go wider than stock but not too wide that will require suspension modification, just planning on lowering springs in the future. Most GSF guys that changed their wheels went with 20" but wanted to stay with 19. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks ssmoked, mostly going for looks and some spirited street driving. Not going to track the car. I am looking at Michelin PSS and Continental tires. How about the front tires size?

ssmoked

275/30 is a good compliment

My RCF is at 275/30/19 up front and 295/30/19 in the rear.
I recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s - great tire. A lot of grip!

The PS4s are great tires above 45F. Below that, they are like driving on greased glass. If you have cold weather and plan to drive the car in it, you would be wise to either keep the OEM setup and run something more inclined to work in colder temps, like the A/S 3s, or plan to drive a different vehicle when it gets colder. All summer tires are affected this way, but the PS4s, from everyone I know who knows tires, is especially frightening for how much grip is lost below 45F. The PSS definitely do not like colder weather much either and they skate around pretty easily compared to summer performance (I run them on my IS F too) but not nearly as much as the PS4 from what I have heard.
