Wheel/ tire spec advice

Whats up guys I am trying to bring my wheel decision to a close. I am deciding between 3 options all in 19"x 9.5 +22 all the way around (one of them is offered in +30 as well)

here is my car


Its on BC coils and has no gap between the tire and fender with stock rims rite now. So with about another 1/2 inch to 3/4 of and inch lower do you think I will be able to run 9.5 +22 without rubbing? keeping in mind that Im in NY and I dont want to run insanely stretched and skinny tires (dont get me wrong I would love to). And I have read and heard awesome things about hankook tires so I will probably be using them.. what size tires do you recommend? Im extremely clueless on tire specs relative to rim specs so any help would be awesome!!!

New york car...


You'll be fine to fit those wheels and you'll probably end up adding spacers down the road.

I would run a 245/40 all around, mild stretch but nothing silly and still has a decent sized sidewall.

hankooks are good, but keep and eye on the PSI....

You should get a set of WORK Varianza T1S for your Sedan.

Lucky for you, I have a set for sale.

a few things. 4DGS thanks for the tips that was very useful info! Do you think I would have to run any more than -2 camber to fit the rims with those size tires? (im running -2 rite now). I would rather keep it conservative and add some small spacers than go ***** out and end up with problems. Since this is my first lowered and stanced car Its still new to me and I need to learn by seeing how things fit you know? So in terms of tire specs 245 is the width and 40 is the sidewall correct? What would be the "normal width for a 19" rim?

lol here are the problems with that Konxeptionz.. 1 they would stick out 3 feet past my fenders.. 2 they are to pricy for me..

also in that pic you posted (Bentley rite?) that nyc.. a little different than the suburbs with pothole filled back roads and its my daily that guy probably drives that once a year. and is it just me or does that car look like a T-rex with its tiny little arms and huge legs thats falling on its face but still standing on its legs hahahaha idk why it just puts that picture in my head..

It won't stick out that far. Just run a stretch, throw a little negative, and go a bit lower and you'll be fine.

With the standards today, +15 on a Sedan is only mildly aggressive.

Regardless, wheels are out of your price range. Please forgive my shameless plug to try and expedite the process of selling my wheels.

Haha it fine good try!! and +15 on a 10.5 rim on a sedan.. good luck fitting that!! that is super aggressive for a second gen sedan.. I think 9.5 +15 would probably work if you ran like -3.5 camber with a really stretched tire..

No, that's a mild stretch. Normal tire for say an 8 or 8.5" wheel. But yes 245 width 40 is the profile. You'll be fine with -2 degrees like I said you'll probably add spacers once you get the wheels on the car

lol here are the problems with that Konxeptionz.. 1 they would stick out 3 feet past my fenders.. 2 they are to pricy for me..

Na they would be aggressive but not that hard to do.

also in that pic you posted (Bentley rite?) that nyc.. a little different than the suburbs with pothole filled back roads and its my daily that guy probably drives that once a year. and is it just me or does that car look like a T-rex with its tiny little arms and huge legs thats falling on its face but still standing on its legs hahahaha idk why it just puts that picture in my head..

Actually it's a Q45, and he's from queens, daily driver in the summer.

thats illlll! and I was just reading up on some posts over in the v36 area and people are running like 9.5 +36 in the front im getting worried that +22 is too aggressive.. I wish someone had 9.5 all around with aggressive fitment so I could see what offsets to use.
