Torn between tire sizes for my RS-gt!!

peanuboy · 04-17-2009, 04:40 PM

Alright folks, i've done a lot of reading and research and am going to make my decision as to what size of tires to get for my BBS RS-gt 19x8.5 ET35 all around.

2 choices

1. 235/35/19 fronts and 245/40/19 rears and with 15mm spacers in rears
2. 255/35/19 all around and 15mm spacers in rears

I know the oem 19 rears are 255/30/19, would going to a 35 or even 40 sidewall a possible setup? Keep in mind i will be dropped with HR sport+koni yellows in the very near future.

Thanks in advanced for any inputs or cmments

I say 245/35/19 in front and 275/30/19 in rear

Since your wheel isn't staggered, I'd go with the same size tire all around, 235/35/19 and spacers in the rear.

thanks for all the inputs folks!
I finally went for 235/35/19 in front and 255/30/19 in back and a pair of 15mm H&R Trak+ in the rear.

I just put them on yesterday, hopfully this setup is suitable (not too loud, improves handling vs stock...etc) for my daily driving! (50/50 HWY/city)
