Hello All!
I have been doing a lot of research on tire size and just wanted to see what you guys recommended based on your personal experience.

My goal is to do as minimal as possible on fender work. I would prefer to not touch the fenders as a whole which I understand can be challenging. I also want to note that I do not want to drive on rubberbands and want as much tire as possible that fitment will allow.

I am currently using the DataSystem Air Controller to control ride hide. For daily driving I am driving 6 for the fronts and 3 for the rears ( I decided to run this setting because the back is always lower so to have a level height I increased the fronts).

The rims I am using is the Volk TE37s. 19 x 8.5 +30 for the fronts and 19 x 9.5 +34 for the rears. I was originally considering running 225/40/19 for the fronts and 235/40/19 for the rears. Any suggestions or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not directly related but be wary of the data controller. It will ruin the stock airbags. Some may not care but they are rather expensive.

I would do 235/35/19 up front and either 265/35/19 or 275/35/19 in the rear. It would look pretty mean from the rear.

That is very true! There is no telling how quickly it will kill the bags though. Depending on age/miles and how low you go it could happen in a few months or it take a year or more.

Thanks for the advice. If worst comes to worst I'll switch to a coilover setup. Might as well enjoy the air bags now while I can since it appears some people have problems with them without a data controller. I'm gonna just roll the dice!

I feel like the 35 sidewall is too thin.The 265 on a 9.5 won't that be too big?

Sidewall is going to kill the ride. Even at 40 it's rough. My old 18's originally came with 245/40 and I upgraded it to 45, which was the correct sizing for speedometer accuracy. Anyway, the difference is very noticeable. A 35 and below rides like a rock and you can bend the rim easier.

On 19's 40 is the correct sidewall size for speedometer accuracy.

Stock system/bags are going to go regardless (from what I've read), my sensor just went out after it had been sitting for a little while. I bought a DataSystems controller had it on for a couple days took it off, had my car in storage during my recent deployment to Afghanistan, took it out and the sensor was bad after I got it out of storage, battery had died not sure if that had anything to do with it. But I know people that had the DataSystems on for years and no issues. They recently changed over to aftermarket air because the DataSystems was too slow, not because it broke or anything.
