Just need a lil help

Alright, well my tires are down to 20% lifetime left and I need to purchase new ones, and I also need rims so I decided I should go ahead and get those along with the tires...

I have decided on the rims, I will be getting the Black Falken Koblenz w/ Chrome Lip.

I'm getting 19x8.5 (All Around)

What I need help with is the tires... What size tires should I get because I'm pretty new to the tire/wheel scene :-P

Any specific brand of tires I should get?

Thanks!

Well since you got 19x8.5 all the way around I would buy 245/35-19 tires(Kumhos,Falken,Toyo's whatever can't really go wrong with these choices). I would say this is more of a conservative fit for your wheels. Goodluck and make sure to post some pics when your done.

I'm running 19x8.5" 255/35 front and back. This is actually the closest you can get to the OEM tire/wheel setup.

I had Tein Flex coilovers installed today with the standard drop (approx. 1.5" F and .75" R) and no rubbing.

People have had problems with that off-set.

Get as close as you can to 45mm.
