Looking for opinions on the right tire sizes for my set up. Maybe a mild stretch if needed. I'm dropped on tein coils, fenders rolled, may end up with spacers because I went with a +22 offset to be on the safe side. Coupe.

19x9.5 front
19x10.5 rear

thanks...

Mild stretch 235/35 / 255/35. Common more aggressive 225/35 245/35. Most aggressive stetch for your wheel sizes, 215/35 235/35!

My oem rays are 235/35 front and only used since last summer so maybe I'll mount those first and see how it turns out. I guess the 255/35 would go best with that.

There was a G from Jersey "spoil3d" plates (don't know if shes on driver) I saw with the same rims and offsets running 225/35f and 235/35r. Looked good on hers but maybe because she was so low.

Thinking about go for 19x9.5 +0 or +12 fronts and 19x11 +0 on the rears. Coupe with brembos. Will be dropping it on Eibach lowering springs at the same time.
I obviously want to go wide, now I just want an aggressive tire setup. I want some meat, but some of the mild stretches look nice.. I do spirited driving once in awhile, so if that helps with anything. I was suggested 265/35 and 295/35.

Your thoughts, please? Also, anyone think I'll rub? Necessary to roll the fenders? Please and thank you!

Dang I think that is meaty. I would do 225 or 235 front and 255 or 265 rear. That's just me though. And yeah roll those fenders.

still trying to decide on new tires for my rears to match my fronts. I have 19x9.5 19x11 +0 all around.
right now I have some nankang NS-20 255/35 on the 9.5 and its a mild stretch from running small. sorry for the crappy big pic of it. on the 19x11 I have a nitto nt555r 275/35 its just way too big. im trying to get some new nankangs for the rears which run small and trying to decide if I want to run a 275/35 (will fit like 265) or a 275/30.
any opinions?

would that be stretching? tire sounds rather small. i'm on 235 on 19x8 right now haha wanted to go wide for sure

another question. for a "meaty" look, would I go for a bigger profile sized wall, or would being meaty mean that i'd have the tire as wide as the rim.. which would look like a normal, unmodified setup. a little confused right now, please bare with me!

Why does it matter what the definition of meaty is? It comes down to how you want it to look. I'm not an expert when it comes to this offsets and sizing stuff, but I'm fairly certain a 0 offset for those sized wheels is too aggressive with a 275-295/35 tire. Especially when you plan on driving aggressively on a lowered G with OEM shocks.
