Default Noobie needs help choosing tires

ok so i just bought a set of VS-XX wheels. Specs are 19x9 offset +8 and 19x10 offset +14. Now my question is what size of tires would be best on these? would i need to stretch to make these fit? oh and btw im on gf210's. Thanks! here's the link to the wheels i just bought. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_2817wt_875

I think you would have no problem with 245/35F and 275/35 rear since you are not slammed....Nice choice of wheels but I think you could of got them a little cheaper looking on the wheels4 sale thread but great choice of wheels.....

thanks man! i used the bing cashback on this so im getting about 200 dollars back in about two weeks which i think is a really good deal considering these wheels are like new. oh yeah, do you think these wheels will stick out? a friend of mine said it might stick out a bit on the fronts.

No one can be 100% sure on that. Each car is a little bit different. Best thing to do is install everything and if it rubs, get the fenders rolled

I have a +/- 0 offset with 9 inch rims and a 245/35/19 front tire and they tuck perfect with -1 camber

I would bet you may "want" a 10mm spacer in the rear to be flush (wheel lip slight poke) and to be flush you need a roll.
