+1

I just purchased a set of Toyo's from them. Cheapest around + great customer service + fast shipping.

I would suggest keeping 245's in the rear.. 255s don't make enough difference.... trust me.. just get a good tire and keep 245s in the rear... I have the OEM 19's.. and thats what I'm gonna keep doing till I get dif rims!

how much of a difference would the aspect ratio make? I know it changes the wheel diameter but would it make a difference in how long the tires last? ...

245/xx/19F and 255/xx/19R -- 35 and 45 aspect ratio

getting toyo T1R's from tires deals 4 less... is that a good place to buy? good experiences there everyone?

I think I'm going with 245/35 for the front and 275/35 for the rear. There are a few people who swear by this setup. Any other size combo, other than stock, would risk the VDC freaking out.

I just don't like the look of the stock tire size...but love the stock 19's...I wish they made the rear an inch wider!

Have this setup for a few months now.... toyos 245/275 x 35. luv it.
Quieter than stock tires, more grip, very close to correct speed... throw some 10mm spacers all around to make more flush with fender and it's as good as your going to get with stock rims.

Just in case you change your mind...

www.evasivemotorsports.com

This is the only place I know that gets Kics spacers. The benefit is they are simply bolt on... they come with studs already on the spacer so you don't need to lenghten the stock studs.
He gets limited quantities of 10mm size. You might be able to 15mm on rear but it's very close so I didn't chance it.

Would it be straight to put on 245/35/19 and 255/35/19 on the OEM 19's? anyone I've heard of with this setup usually goes with a 255/40/19 in the rear.

i have nitto invo tires on my 19" 235/35/19 front 255/35/19 rear this is the best setup i recommend it to everyone.. and 19" tires don't come cheap! the rear is 19x8.5... going 275 is not call for.. if you go 245/35/19 front and 255/40/19 rear that is off the mark.. but if you do GL getting a match set...

How is that setup(245/35 front and 255/40 rear) "off the mark"? Redlude97 recommended that exact setup in previous threads and that was the setup i was considering going with. Is there a reason why I shouldn't? I just want to get the falken tires but they don't make the OEM 19" size(225/40) so thats why I am considering different sized tires from the OEM sizes. What would be the option that is close to OEM that falken makes?
