Default Help between 2 tires, and 2 sizes...

Ok...well I need new tires. They'll be on 19's 9.5 front 10.5 rear, with +22 offset...

The two tires in question are:

Nitto Invo 255/35/19 and 285/35/19
Yokohama S.Drive 245/35/19 and 275/35/19

Any opinions are greatly appreciated both on the tires, and the sizing...I need a summer tire that is for daily aggressive driving with good rain traction as well...quiet is a bonus.

Its a set-up for looks not performance.

A 275 mm tire belongs on a 9.5 inch wheel. Yet you want to stretch a 245 mm tire on a 9.5 inch wheel, and a 275 mm tire on a 10.5 inch wheel.

19 inch wheels and stretched tires may be the latest vogue, but please do not use performance in the same sentence.

You just described the Envo's perfectly. Ive had mine for 22k miles now , and couldnt ask for a better all around tire. I've also seen 2 people use them for HPDE with great results.

255/275 is the way to go if you do not want to rub your fenders.

If you fenders are rolled, then go 285 in the rear.

I'm pretty low right now...my front wheel sits right at flush, and my rear is as close to flush as my coils will let me...probably about a pinky away from it.

Rear camber is set at 1.89 or 1.91 don't remember...front is 1.3/1.1 right now which I will fix when I get new tires...
