Default How does this set up sound on an SC400?

Front - 19x8 rim +42 offset and 225/40/19 tire

Rear - 19x8.5 rim +51 offset and 255/35/19 tire

I did some calculations and they are really close in size to the stock wheel. I know it's an odd choice in tire sizes for the front but I'd like to keep a little extra tire between my rims and the street. I think I'm going to go with Michelin Pilots.

I hope you didn't already buy the wheels!

It's not a horrible setup but it's definitely something I wouldn't run....225/40-19? Hmm, I'd have to see what that looks like! 255/35-19 on a 8.5 isn't horrible though....

Why did you get such narrow wheels?

I got a pretty good deal on them. Since I bought the car in cash I didn't have alot of extra money layin around. I wanted some good quality 19" rims. Anyway, do you have a better suggestion on tires?
