What is the best size tires to get with 19x9.5 +22 in the front and 19x10.5 +22 in the rear..I dont want to have to do any fender rolling or anything!



Pics comparing both are good also!

 

this has been discussed a billion times....but anyways...we'll definitely need offsets of the wheel if you want any useful help...

i'm not positive on those offsets...but i know with my GTS +17, +18 combo, you can run 255's up front and 275s in the rear with no problem. So i'm guessing you could get away with 285s in the rear w/ no rubbing....

 

This guy I just found has my rims same offset and everything and has these tires..

BFG KDW 285/35/19 19x10.5 +22
BFG KDW 245/35/19 19x9.5 +22

 

It also depends on what tire you get, some run wider than others with the same measured width. IE a toyo t1-r 275 may be narrower than a bfg 275. Are you going to lower the car?

 

The car I pictured is lowered with hotchkis springs. I kinda plan on it but if I dont have to I prefer not to so I can save some money...I still need to decide on what tire to get...A lot of people on here say go Toyo

 

Depends what you want in a tire. Personally I hate the t1-rs that sidewalls were way too soft. I do like my kdw-2s a lot though.

 

what does the soft sidewall matter?

 

You definitely should lower your car, otherwise it will look funny.

lower the car....saving some money? and you are buying 19" tires and rims? ok...the lowering springs will be a minor drop in the bucket considering the total cost.

I love my Toyo T1r's...The sidewall is so small on mine that it being soft doesn't impact me that much anyways.

 

what springs do you guys recommend?

 

I like my hotchkis springs, they are just low enough without being too low and scraping over stuff.

Soft sidewalls will cause the tire to roll over on itself when cornering which leads to sloppy handling. A stiffer sidewall wont roll over itself and will give you better steering response.

 

how much did the hotchkis springs run? is there anything else I need?

 

I ordered swift springs...and couldn't be happier with them. They are a very subtle drop...just enough to not force you to get supporting mods to get back into spec w/ alignment...but enough to get rid of the hideous wheel gap...

Here's some pics...from a couple days ago back to right after they were installed...

 

I have the Tanabe GF210. 1 inch drop in the front, 1.2 in the rear. The ride is pretty good. I know a lot of Z has it.

You can also do some research on other springs, there are lots of thread with different review on different springs. Good luck.

 

i just dont want the wheel gap, but I dont want to have to worry about scraping, that is my main thing along with a good ride


is there anything else I need besides the springs??

 

It's possible you may need a camber kit, but that depends on your car. Most with hotchkis though don't need one.

 

sounds like hotchkis it is then..any vendors on here and what are the prices? what would a camber kit do ? how do i make sure if possible i dont need one lol

 

you WON'T need one with the Swift springs...they are only rated at 0.6" front and 0.7" rear drop. They keep you within spec...and they don't suffer from the typical sagging over time that manyother springs do...
