Post zauber gettin tire question?

i have a 1995 sc4 and is interested in purchasing the zauber gettin rims 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. My question is what tire sizes should I get? Not to thin or not to fat, just perfect for everyday driving in the city.(more on the look) My buddy recommend 255/40/19 all around. Any suggestion?

help on the offset would really be helpful too

Thanks!

245-35-19
275-30-19

255-40-19 will not look right. you friend does not know what he's talking about. YOu will rub in the front for sure depending on drop, and the rear tires will be way stretched.

by the way, good luck in getting those rims!

yup, you can also read the guide i posted, it has more info too

245/35 and 275/30, that's the normal setup

if you want more comfort, you can get 245/40 and 275/35. more sidewall, more comfortable, a bit over spec

Don't listen to him. Sweet wheels though, just make sure you post up some pics once installed

LOL. thanks henry!

offset anywhere in the 40's should be fine, depending on how low you'll go.
