Unhappy correct tire size :(

Ok so i looked around but cant really find anything regarding this specific set up. I came across some wheels that i want to put on my 2006 Base Coupe. The wheels are 19X8.5 +15mm all around. My question is, what is the best tire size and will i have issues with this offset? Stock suspension. Any input is greatly appreciated before i purchase new tires. Thanks

The offset will be your only issue, you could safely run 245/35X19 on all four corners...Gary

That would work but why go staggered when your wheels are identical. The nice thing about having a square setup is the ability to rotate your tires. Even with the offset, there shouldn't be any issues at stock height.

Stock 19" tire sizes are 225/40-19 Front and 245/40-19 Rear. And the stock rear wheel is 8.5" wide, front is 8".

So use stock tire sizes, or if you want square setup, use the rear size all around. I don't know why a smaller tire than stock is "common" but I've seen weirder things.
