That's what I'm running on my G coupe 19's with those size tires. NO rubbing at all with the Zfront springs/coupe rear springs/struts.

Q50 Red Sport 400 RWD
as far as your staggered comments I completely agree in most staggered aftermarket applications 100%. BUT, since this was THE wheel that I wanted that provided the aggressive size in verical(19"), horizontal(width), and aggressive as hell offsets on the sedan (not the coupe) while giving a still classy stock-like appearance---I had a choice of going 245 width all around or go slightly wider in the back. This gives a very nice look in person that you can't appreciate by pic. So rotating was NOT an option for me to begin with as the cpe 19s are staggered and going wider than 255 was against the tire manufacture's min. wheel width requirement.(even though people have gone wider, I did not want to risk it).

as for mileage, I only have about 5000 mi on them. I don't drive that much--5000 mi per yr for 3.5 yrs and for 6 mo. now I am now on track for 10kmi per yr or so with a change in office location.

Back to the OP's question on what tires to get. I have found in my personal testing between Toyo T1R, Falken FK452, Kumho SPT, Nitto 555 and Nitto Invo the Nitto Invo is by far the best tire choice.

The sizes listed in the 1st post won't be a stretch on those narrow wheels. However, those are good sizes to go with. Stretching tires just for the look, when not necessary, is lame.

Glad you didn't take my post the wrong way! Yeah, I hear you, and since you don't drive that much, staggered really isn't a big deal for you.

Any thing you go but not RE050A.
They don't last long and their grip is just OK...

You can look into T1R, Nitto Invo or Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
