Default Help with tire size for these rims.

I got Avant Garde rims coming within the next few days.

They are 19x9.5 +20 offset front and 19x11 +18 offset rear.

I just put tein flex coil overs on my 2008 Z, only dropped it about an inch because im getting bigger wheels and dont want it to be to low to where they rub.

lookin for some advice on what tire sizes to get for front and rear.

all help appreciated

are you looking to stretch your tires? if you do then i would go with 225 front and 255 rear but that is for a decent stretch. if not then go with 245 and 275 it would be meaty though!

here is a tip try looking at this website http://www.tyrestretch.com/

and you wont rub by going down an inch but you might want to roll your rear bumpers just to keep it safe!

It depends on what type of tire you go with. Tires are like shoes some run more narrow than others.

A Falken FK-452 in the 275/35/19 does stretch on the 11" wide wheel. But the Hankook K110 does not stretch as much.

I learned this the hard way.. i run 20x12 in back w pirelli 305 25 20s and from the fender side.. you cant even tell theres tires on the back they are so stretched.. its ridiculous really. i assumed a 305 had a section width of 12 inches, but alas, they do not all fit the same, which to be honest is very odd to me.

255/35 f and either 295 or 305/30 r would be ideal given your wheel width and ride height. Any more narrow will stretch a bit. May need to roll your rear fenders (not bumper). Going the stretch route will be unsightly at your current height.

^ This. 245/35-19 front and 275/35-19 rear would work well. Great tire also.
