not as aggressive as everyone else but working my way there.

Old setup
19x10 on a 225/35
19x11 on a 245/35

Any tire size recommendation on the new setup? Would like to go a lil wider. Rear fenders have been rolled with a slight pull. Fender lining tabs have been taking out up front.

Naw still love it but dig this look to. I still have the other wheels and will just switch them out from time to time. Also wanted to go to the dragon which has like over 300 turns in 10 miles or some thing like that and wanted something with more grip.

Sodero- loving the 305s. How do u like handling of this setup?

Been researching and using tire calculators and keeping within the 1 to 1/2 diameter difference and now my final setup will be hankooks using 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 tires!!!! But anyways, i'm actually looking for feedback to make sure i did this right.

Front tire is taller than rear, wont work.

255/35 like the car a few posts above, even has the same rear tire as you. Very nice sodero.

A few crappy pics. Suspension is back on. Car is about .5" lower all the way around than before. Still 285/30 on 18x10.5" all the way around. Just put them on to make sure there was no rubbage on hard cornering...

Car is very dirty due to the 2390418210934230" of rain we have gotten the past 15 or so days in the Mid-A.
