The wheel I'm ordering is 19x8 with a 25 offset. What would be the best tire to put on them? I was thinking 225/40/19 but after reading a bunch of post on wheels i think I'm more confused than ever lol. My car is lowered nothing crazy maybe an inch. Also the wheel comes in a 42 offset if that would be better. I want to stay away from staggering just so it would be easier to rotate tires cuz I'm on the road a lot

 

I have a feeling 225/40 is fine, as this is perfect for 8" rims.

As for the offset, +42 would be extremely sunken. Lowered about an inch shouldn't cause any rubbing issues on the +25, as long as that is +25...

 

Awesome thanks man I appreciate it!

 

fyi stock 18s are 8 inch wide and came with 245/45. the decision is urs. this for sedan or coupe?

 

You can easily run 245/35X19 on all four corners and stay with the -25 offset. I ran that size on my last Z for years, (125K miles) it will give you way better control than 225...I promise!

It's for a coupe.

I found some 245/40/19 tires for a really good price I'll check on the 245/35 size

 

You can easily run 245/40X19! Tires, be careful not to buy really cheap tires..."Your life may depend on what's between you and the road!" Check with www.thetirerack.com they sell tires at wholesale.

Discount tires direct is also another good site. They offer a warranty on top of the manufacturer warranty for replacement in case of defects. I have bought from them several times and they actually have better pricing than tire rack. And I agree with the fellas, no need in going with a narrower tire than stock. I can't see a probable reason to do so

 

I really wanna get to the bottom of this because tires are speed rated and quality controlled. Is a brand like accelera or Achilles really a bad idea due to inexpensiveness? I've searched on here and seen very little proof of them actually being any worse than a Hankook or more expensive brand

 

...

It is too complex. Your low prices tires could be the best thing out there. It really comes down to preference.

 

I researched Achillies ATR Sport tires and haven't found a bad review on them and they are a very good price.

 

I dunno...something called Achilles on the "foot" of a car!? Way too ironic for me. LoL

 

and add on the fail on wheel of fortune

 

Just an update I ended up getting a set of Verde Parallax wheels. 19x9.5 square +22 offset. They just got here today and I love em. Can't wait to get them on tomorrow. Wrapping then in 255/35 falken ze 950s
