Hi,

Guy at the tire shop seemed convinced I needed the following tires for 19" staggered setup:

235/30/19 F
245/30/19 R

Thing is he then saw they only carried two really expensive tires in those sizes.

Currently I am running stock 17" M-Sport wheels with Perelli 225/45/17 all around.

Please tell me if he is right or suggest a setup for me.

I'm planning on getting 8.5 in front and 9.5 in back.

I also need to know about the offset.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. things that matter to me:
* ride comfort
* sidewall height (want nice and low-profile looking)
* flush with side of car
