hello, I just purchased a set of Vossen CVT in 19'' offset is 19 x 8.5+32 19 x 10 +42..Whats the best ideal tire size for these wheels? i was recommend running 235/35/19,265/30/19..also i was recommend just running 225 and 255s(225/35/19 f & 255/30/19 r) as well.

Also probably going with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s because they have a $70 gift card from TireRack,what do you guys think

Thanks!

Congrats! Personally I would go with the 235/35 and 265/30, only because the rear is a 10inch...and the 235 is the matching front.
just my two cents.
Michelin is a great brand.

Very pure upgrade. OE upgrades are absolutely top of the heap, especially when it comes from a Manufacturer's performance line/division. Regardless of price, those wheels are superior to all aftermarket choices. Extremely nice! very jealous. How much were they if you dont mind?

Default Fitment question

Ive been searching for hours and I haven't found the exact answer I'm looking for. My question, can I fit a 19x9.5 (((((+22))))) on the rear of my 3IS without any fender modifications? If so, what size tire should I go with? Are 255/30/19 good? I'm also looking into getting some Rsr Downs and drop to right at the top of the tire and adjust +/- depending on how it looks. Won't be slamming it. Not into the whole "slammed" look.

The simple answer...no. One member tried it, but it was rubbing on the fender. Lowering would make it worse.
You could camber in the rear wheels to make it clear, but then you'll be going through rear tires like crazy...and you'd still need to mod the fender.

Hey thanks bro. You saved me a few grand on wheels that don't fit. I appreciate it. By fender mod do you mean having to just roll the fender or would I have to pull as well?

You can't roll the rear as it's already factory rolled. You would have to pull it...and it will likely involve bodywork and paint.
The front you can roll a little, and then pull from there.
