Default Best tire sizee and brand?

volks te37. size of the tire on the wheels atm is
front 19x8.5 +22 245/35/19
rear 19x9.5 +12 275/35/19

would this be a good setup on stock hight z? what are my other options out there? how much of a drop would i be able to do without getting new camber links or rolling the fenders.

my other question is, i live in cali, not alot of rain but lately there has been. but what are the best brands tires i can use with good tire grip. im not too into the drifting scene i rather have my z hug the floor. any suggestions on tire size and brand would be nice. thanks

Your actually have a pretty nice set up there. Michellin Pilot Sports are really worth the money. just don't drive on them when it's cold cause they turn into rocks.

front 19x8.5 +22 255/40/19
rear 19x9.5 +12 285/40/19

im riding on stock suspension right now, but if i wanted to drop it, how much of a drop would be ok with this setup?

Too much sidewall, and somewhat oddball sizes. Stick to your first choices.

For brands, Michelin PS2 & Goodyear GSD3 generally get best reviews.

I live in NorCali and run Toyo T 1Rs. They have been fine in the rain.

with +12 offset and 19" 9.5 in the rear, would it look more flush or nicer with a 285/40, 285/35, 275/40, or 275/35 ? for the 2 rear wheels in the back.
im on stock suspension for a while. would it look to bulky if i go with the 285s now and when dropped?
