Another Tire Size Question...

Forgive me if i could have found an answer to this using the search..

I have an 07 coupe.
Going to run 19x10's in the front & 19x11's in the back.
Eventually I will have a decent drop. (next on the list)
I know I will most likely have to roll a tad with my offsets.

What tire sizes would you guys recommend for the front and rear?

At this point I am thinking:
255 35 19
275 30 19

What are your offsets? 275/30/19 is too short in the rear. Especially with a meaty 255/35 up front.

You need atleast a 275/35 in the rear. I'd personally go with a 295/30 since your offsets aren't low and give your rear fenders a good roll.

265/30 or 255/35. With the 265 up front on a 10 +20, you'll need a pretty good drop.

There are soo many factors to consider here. You also need to consider how low you're dropping the car (a decent drop doesnt tell me anything) Consider that dropping the car will add negative camber and decide if you can live with excess camber or if you wish to correct it by installing camber arms/toe bolts.

Well the only thing that has me hesitant about running the 255 with a 295 is that I don't think the amount of stretch will be equal.. Well if this helps - I will most likely not drop it too much it is still my daily driver (in chicago). How ever I will be doing coilovers. I Want some negative camber.. I was planning on camber arms if the amount of natural camber that came with the drop was not enough.

If you want the stretch, then go with 255/35F 275/35R. Get rear camber arms/toe bolts after you drop the car and correct some of the negative camber to bring the wheel/tire closer to the fender. Then you will be set.

Sounds good - do you think I can end up pretty flush with the setup?

Flush.. yes. HellaFlush.. no. I dont suspect you'd want HellaFlush anyways since you'd need a lot more than a mild drop to achieve that look.

No problem. Were all here to help eachother. FWIW, there's an entire thread dedicated to asking about wheel/tire fitment. Luckily i was just browsing and found your thread or you'd be waiting for an answer for a while, lol.
