I'm looking for new wheels for my coupe, currently checking out the Racing Hart R5s with black lip. Guy at wheel auto haus suggested 19 x 9 F and 19 x 10.5 R on 245-35-19 F and 275-30-19 R... is this good, bad???

My goal is for as little variance in tire height in front or rears, and no rubbing or vcd issues.


The OEM size is
05 6MT:

5-spoke, 19 x 8.0-inch (front), 19 x 8.5-inch (rear) forged aluminum-alloy wheels with 225/40R19 (front), 245/40R19 (rear)


thanks,

those sound like some messed up tire sizes. your stock 225/40/19 and 245/40/19 are 26.1"/26.7" diameters. the proposed 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 are 25.8"/25.5". rears would be smaller then the front. a better size would be all 35 series 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 gets you 25.8"/26.6"

you want to stay within 3% of your oem tire height for best results. 35 on front and back would be best.

 

id go 275/35/19

 

^ what truplay said

 

so 275/35/19 back, 245/35/19 front? is that good?

 

The sizes you mentioned will work great.

I run the following on mine-
Volk Racing GT-C 19x8.5 F, 19x10.5 R
Falken FK-451 245/35R19 F, 285/35R19 R

 

I want to run the same setup. Do u any rubbing? Problems with VDC? Mine is a little smaller 19x8 & 19x10.

 

The (275/35) sizes are fine but you also have to watch your offsets. I didnt and I had to roll my fenders.
