hey guys...i need some tire advice

hey guys i was wondering if anyone here or if any one knows somebody that is knowledgeable about tire sizing

my delema is that with the new set i got, my rears are prefect: 19x10 +15 245/35 (rear)

but my fronts are HORID!!! 19x8.5 +15 with super ghay 215/35!

im not sure if i should go with 225/35or40 or 235/35? what would u guys recommend? i just dont want my tires to look off from front to rear and flow with that car as well i hate sizing

thanks guys
-Andre

225 should make it about the same stretch as the rear, ( or closer for that matter)

i personally run 255 in front and 275 rear on 19's( but then again im more concerned on sticking to the ground)

i vote for 225/35 which should give a similar fitment to the 245/35 you have in the rear on the 10. if you got 225/40 on your 8.5 it will be .3 inches taller than your rear setup.

You definitely want to go with 225/35 on the 8.5 up front since you are running 245/35 in the rear. 225/40 will be too tall compared to the rear, 235/35 won't stretch like your rears are now.

225/35 up front and drop the front more to match the rear.

sorry to say but that reminds me of my neighborhood friend and his lowrider dayton wire wheels with stretched tires.... (they look unsafe to me) to each their own.... nice wheels by the way.
