Its a tough choice right now.
I can either go 19x9.5 +22 all around with 245s (Volk Ce28n Genesis
)
or
19x10 +35 all around with 265 or 275 (Advan RS)
Im trying to go non staggered to be able to rotate tires and last my tires longer.
Quick quesiton, would running 10 with 265 or 275 all around affect the steering at all ?

im 18x10 +15
if you want performance go for the 18s
others will disagree and may very well be right, but imo the performance with this setup is not the same or even close to an autocrossing/conservative wheel setup, for the simple fact that unless you really pull or flare your fenders you are going to rub on any fast & hard cornering. hell i engaged tcs the other night accelerating to like 40 on a gentle curved road lol

If you try and run the +35 you'll need a very aggressive roll and depending on how low you go with those coilovers, you might need some aggressive negative camber which negates the whole tire life aspect of your requst.

as far as the fronts, hopefully someone else can chime in but 19" + 275 + coilovers + front fenders usually =

Ok, I know the tire sizes I will be asking about will fit, but I was hoping I can get some opinions from you guys.
Here is my issue. I'm getting a new set of wheels - 18x10 +36. I have some 5 mm spacers from a past set and I'll probably just throw those on as well to push the wheels a bit further out. I'm just torn on what size tire to go with.
My suspension setup is d-specs with tein s-tech springs. Rear fenders are rolled. The s-tech springs sit a little higher in the rear so I'm concerned about wheel gap. Should I go with 245/40/18 or 265/35/18? I'd prefer to go with the 265's but I'm just worried that the lower profile is going to leave me with more wheel gap and make the rear appear as if it's sitting even higher. 265's are about a 1/2 inch shorter in overall diameter.
I know the 245's will fill the wells out better but I don't know if I want that much stretch on the tires with an offset in the 30's. If I was running lower offsets then maybe, but I just don't see the need for that stretch with my setup.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Maybe there is a quality tire that runs pretty wide in 245 that I should be looking at?
Thanks.

Nuke runs 18's.
thought we were talking about 19's because that would have been a fun trick.
carry on...
