Need Aftermarket wheel/tire size advise.
Just purchased some 19" wheels.
Front 19 8.5
Offset: 45mm
Backspacing: 6.25
Back 19 9.5
Offset: 45mm
Backspacing: 5.86"
What size tires would work best?
I'm getting the Brigestone Potenza RE-11's.
Thank's

You can run 245/35/19 front no problem. You still have room for 5 or 8mm spacers to make them flush w/o rubbing... that would bring your front offset to +38 or 40mm.
The rear is more tricky at +45mm.. I'd recommend you 265/30/19 if no drop, 255/30/19 if dropped.
What kind of wheels did you buy? BBS CH-R?

I hear u.. I can't even fit 275/30 w/o rubbing. But I've seen ppl using 285/30 with the right offset.
As for the front, u can use 255/35 on 19x8.5 +45mm no problem. But I'm not sure if it will help the handling.

Dont know why tire rack only recommends the 45mm offsets front and rear?
The car is dropped with H&R sports.
AS far as front I really like the 235's... car turns great at track and 265 rear balances the car super.... Dunno if 245 fronts would help any...
Guess Im just gonna make it to the shop to have my mechanic put on one of the rims in the rear without a tire just to see what we up against.I'm looking into maybe having my rear fenders rolled so I can run 275"s on the Forgestar's.
Thanks for your advise.

No prob, if ur ready to roll ur fenders.. The sky is the limit.
But with stock fenders.. 19x9.5 +45 with 265/30 will be very close on ur H&R drop.
I have a friend with the Breyton in black.. I can post pic in this thread to show u.. They look hot even at stock height!

On H&R springs, I had 9x19 ET54 with a 10mm spacer so the offset was 44. I ran 275/30/19 tires without rubbing issues (I think they were Pirelli Pzeros).

Matt, r u saying u ran 19x9 +44mm with 275/30/19 w/o rubbing? Noooooo .. I don't believe u! Lol
Edit: I'm also on 19x9 +44mm with my oem , and my 255/30/19 are closed to rubbing, no way I can squeeze 275/30 with this set-up.

Yokohamas are more "square" than Dunlop, Toyo, or Pirelli so they run a bit wider.
If You really wanted 275/30/19 You'd need to get one of those tire-brands.
It will look almost the same.
I honestly think that Your setup looks better because the face of the rim is not "sunk" into the tire.
