what dont you like about them?

Too harsh ride? not filling up the wheelwell? Rubbing when you drive?

Help us understand what the problem is with the current setup

well they don't fit the wheelwell n I'm afraid that it's gone kill the ride..

1) 225/35-19 appears to be the incorrect size for the front
2) 245/45-19 definitely is the incorrect size for rears
3) And what does wheelwell fitting have to do with ride. Any time you up size wheels you decrease the sidewall height on the tire which will have an effect on ride quality.

i know when u up the size of the rim it kills the ride. but i dont really wanna ride on rubberbands if u get wat im saying my question was if its possible to use smaller size to gain a bigger side wall some what of a strech on the tire

And in the process you'll basically kill the accuracy of your speedo and odo if you go that route.

Luke@tirerack

the correct tire sizes for you car and those wheels are
245/35-19 & 275/30-19
