Default help with tire selection

Well ive pretty much decided on a rim..19in Lorenzo WL27 rims staggered with 19X8-245/35/19 up front and 19X19.5-275/35/19 in the back.. i dont track/race my Z so im pretty much going for looks. question is what tire should i go with...kinda stuck between the following

1) Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110
2) Nitto NT555
3) Falken FK-452

Its my first time going with aftermarket wheels so if anyone has recs or sugestions i would really appriciate it. thanks again peeps.

if your just going for looks, i'd recommend either going with a wider wheel, or getting spacers because 19x8 will be sunken in a lot. what are the offsets of the wheels?

btw, go with Hankook

Without a doubt,I suggest the Hankook's..
I've got the same wheel sizes(ACE STRADA) on my Z...running the v12's
You will not be disappointed.I've run alot of tires.These are the best for what you say you want(street..not track).The OEM Bridgestone's were junk compared to the v12's.Great price...got mine at Discount Tire.
They are the best looking ,too...come in just about every size there is.
You may want to read some reviews on them...they stack up right next to
Mich.pc-2 at about half the price!

I currently have the Nitto NT555's and I have no complaints about them... but my new wheels (TE37 SL's) will be fitted with the Hankooks.

Since they are totally crap wheels, the offset is most likely +35. If your going for looks, go for a much better wheel. Stay away from wheelnext, wheelfire and off the other crappy websites.
