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.

what you guys think about this setup
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?
