What size tires to get for Falken FK452s (since they dont have matching oem size)

i was originally considering the michelin PS2s, but the price is just too much to justify with the way i drive (very very conservative).

so then i was deciding between the toyo t1rs and the falken 452s. at first i was leaning towards the t1rs mainly because they have it in the oem tire size (front 225/40/19, rear 245/40/19). but after reading some threads here, im thinking of the 452s. but the only thing is that they dont have them in the oem size.

what size should i get for the 452s if i want them to be as close to stock as possible? what differences will i see by getting a different size?

also, i have the stock 19" wheels that come w/ the sport package.

thanks

the speedometer will be off by ~1%, not noticeable at all. What you will notice is more neutral handling, and the tires not being as stretched on the wheels so you'll have better rim lip protection(not much better)

with the tires not being stretched on the wheel, will it still look normal, or will it bulge out and look somewhat ugly?

^^ Start with 35 and adjust up or down according to feel. Try up first.

No. 245/40/18 and 245/45/18 would be the correct sizes for the oem 18's

Considering that the standard settings on my car are 225/50/18 (front) and 245/45/18 (back) wouldn't you want to stagger it and go with 225/50/18 and 245/45/18?

LOL, maybe you shouldn't ask a question about sedan wheels in a post started by a coupe owner. It leads to confusion.
