What size tires ?????

Heres the info
Car 03 coupe OEM Brembos
Volk GT-7 19x9.5et17+19x10.5et24

The car is dropped about 1.5 inches What size tires should I go with ? & What brand ?
My main concerns is having a good tire for wet conditions and no rubbing
Status recomended 255/35 & 275/35 Im thinking about going 245/35 & 275/35 because of more options would I have any issue going this route?
Im thinking about going Bridgestone Potenzas RE050A or toyo t1r

^ i was wondering the same thing, 245 or 255 in the front. since the back is going to be kind of stretched with the 275, will 255 look alright?

I think i'm going with either Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, g-Force T/A KDW 2, or something else... everyone have toyo's.

thats my problem He told me to get 275/35 in the rear cause if I got 285 I might rub so I rather play it safe and go 275 the front is my main concern
I was looking at the KDW but theres mixed reviews about wet traction and hydro planing more people are saying it sucks in the rain havent really looked at the f1's

go 245/35... your front's offset is quite aggressive!

good choice. just be careful at high speed cornering, and high speed straightways on roads that have incredible dips. if i was still into my G, i'd run a 235/35 because of my 2+ " drop.

we can't run 255 or 245 with a 2+" drop? and fit 235 on 9.5" rim?

well that offset isnt goin to work thats for sure.
you have to have the correct offset if you want to drop the car 2"+ and want to run bigger size tires
