So after hours of research, reading, and surfing the net, I've FINALLY narrowed down my tire sizes to the following:

Option 1: 245/35 (front) and 255/40 (rear)
Option 2: 245/35 (front) and 265/35 (rear) (IGNORE: 265 will ONLY fit 9" wide rim, NOT OEM 19's)!!!!
Option 3: 235/40 (front) and 255/40 (rear)

I am currently running the STOCK OEM 19's (19x8 front and 19x8.5 rear). I'm pretty new at all this and am really unsure as to which setup would be the best. I really do not want to have any rubbing issues (as I am lowered on Tein S-techs) nor any issues with the VDC!

As far as tire brands, I've narrowed it down to:
Falken FK-452 or Toyo T1R

Coincidently the only tire manufacturer that I came across that makes a 265/35ZR19 was Michelin! Michelin is out of my budget for now considering a complete set of Michelin's would run me $1400 to $1600

Thanks for you votes, advice, suggestions, and help guys! I truly could not make this decision on my own

 

option 1, falken 452 would be my pick

 

shouldn't it be 245/35 (front) and 255/35 (rear)?

 

Falken doesn't make a 255/35 for the OEM 19!

 

I had option 1 on my OEM 19s... originally PS2s.. but then Falken 452... I liked the Falkens a lot..

 

Thanks for the votes guys, keep them coming! Hope to get my tires orderd tonight!

Please ignore Option 2 (265 rear will ONLY fit a 9" rim, NOT the OEM 19's)!

So looks like either Option 1 or Option 3...

 

whoops! my bad, i thought this was strictly just size recommendations and tire brand availability didn't matter.

 

No, the 255/35/19 is too short for the rear, the 255/40/19 is a hair taller than stock, but much closer to the everall diameter. Since the tire will bulge slightly more than stock, then the overall height will be almost exactly spot on.

 

So, I'm pretty much decided on going with:

245/35ZR19 (front) Falken FK-452
255/40ZR19 (rear) Falken FK-452

Found them on Ebay for $815 shipped!

 

Update:

Just ordered Falken FK-452 (245/35ZR19 and 255/40ZR19) from 2-day-parts for $767 shipped!

Thank you all for your help

Did you notice any gas mileage change with this tire set up compared to OEM.

Thanks.

 

Didn't read the thread but 245/35/19 F 275/35/19 R is the most common setup and closest to stock diameters. Not sure what sort of "research" you did.

 

sure its the closest to stock diameters, but not recomended for stock oem 19's. Sure some have done it, but not route you should go for safety specs.

 

I agree...it's not only not recommended for the OEM 19's, it's not worth it to compromise your safety!
