Question bIGGER pROFILE intead of suspention upgrade

I just ordered 19" Wheels, the tires are probably going to be:
245/35/19 and 275/30/19.

I was thinking may be of getting tires with a little more profile to reduce the space between the car and the wheel, so it looks better.

Is this a good solution or should i just get the Tien S-Tech Springs.


Sorry if you read this already in the wheel/suspension section of the forum.

nah, drop that sucker! I put the Eibach springs on my car, and it really transforms the car, even with stock body work. Your tire choice will work just fine with a 1" drop and you won't look like you're driving around on high profile truck tires. Good luck!

you can fit 275/35 in the rear... your going to have a bigger wheelgap with the 30 series then your stock setup... check out this pic of my old rims w/ 275/30 on the rear



p.s. the 275/30 setup in the rear will probably also cause your tcs/vdc to malfunction and go off randomly during normal driving, at least it did for me, and numerous other people on the board... i would go with at least a 35 series in the rear

you don't want to go bigger without dropping. When we had the G35c, I went 255/40-19 rear and 245/40-19 front. It looked like a 4x4 until we put eibachs on it, but it looked really sweet after.
(I would post a picture, but it was black and you really couldn't make out the wheel wells in any of my pics.)

Thank you all for the good info, so i sdhould probably go with the same profile all the way around plus lowering the car with Tien S, my only question left is if the car is going to be to low when goping over bumps or inclines.

i always thought that going with a tire that is a larger diameter than the stock would mess up the speedo?

Ya it will mess up the speedo and VDC. Not to mention it will actually raise your car higher, giving you more ground clearance. Always stick to the same overall diam. as factory wheels. If you want smaller wheel gap, go with some lowering springs..
