Default Tires??? No One Answered in Sticky

Okay so I really need to get some tires. I havent heard back from anyone in the sticky. The guy at the tire store is a moron and I don't trust him. CL please help!!!

What tires do you think would be best for them? I was thinking 225 or 35/35/19 and 255/35/19 but not sure....suggestions as I would like to try to minimize my fender rolling and such as much as possible but also don't want it to look dumb like people throwing a 225 on a 10" wide wheel!

Forgot to mention it is sitting on Buddy Club Race Spec Coilovers...

19x8.5 +35
19x9.5 +40

Thanks in advance!

Im pretty sure you would get much more responses in the Tire Rack Tire section where all they talk about is..you guessed it, tires. Also, the tires sizes you have chosen will not stretch your tire or make it look "dumb" like people throwing a 225 on a 10" width.

I haven't purchased any tires yet, I have heard people saying that I need to do something different with the height due to diameter but I have no idea. I posted in the wheel and tire fitment section and had no response. I am sorry I didn't see the tire rack section. I would appreciate help and not a sarcastic response please.

With 19x8.5 35+ you should go with a 235 35 19 in the front to minimize rubbing...Your fronts are still a bit on the conservative side...I highly doubt you'll need to trim or roll your fender with these specs...

The rears are somewhat conservative also....40+ on a 19x9.5....Go with a 265 30 19...265 will fit your 9.5 perfectly....
