Alright guys, im uprgading to new wheels so i have a tire (http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=819332#) question.

I have 18x 8.5F and 18x9.5R right now running 225/40 Front and 255/35 rear.

Im upgrading to 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears. Im getting the Varsstoen ES 1.1.2 LM reps with are et33 f and et34 rear i beleive. Im gonna put 5mm spacers all around as well, making it a et28 front and et29 rear

My question is, can i keep the same tire sizes? Just go up to 19s or is there another preffered tire size for 19s. If so let me know what i should get.

Btw im buying the hankook ventus v12s or would like to as my sumitomo htr z3's wore too quickly for me

Im lowered on coils as well. I want to be low and have a flush look, so please tell me what sizes i should get.

225/40 fronts with a 255/35 rear?

235/35 f and 265/30 rear?

or a 235/35 front with a 245/35 rear?

or 225/40 front and a 245/35 rear?

Scott, let me start off by saying - you sonnn of a beach. :mad

Kidding :stickoutt.

But seriously, we're one of the same man. We're going to have to meet up one day. I'm glad we're on other sides of the country though, our cars are twins, sorta. Same old wheels and tires, suspension, and now....

We're going to have the same new wheels. I have had the same ones sitting in my garage waiting to be mounted :eek:. After some other projects are taken care of. I swear, we're linked.

Now with all that said, I'm going to be running a 235/35 up front (perfect size for an 8.5 IMO), and then a 245/35 out back for that little bit of stretch and poke.

If you're running an ET29 rear, I imagine you'll have some rubbing out back with a 255. I'm planning on rolling/flaring done in order to go an inch or so lower out back with the 9.5/245.
