Default My Sevas R77 Rims Finally Came In !

Well i ordered these awhile back and finally got them in well 3 of the rims that is. I should be getting the last one in on Tuesday.. I got the F-sport springs that i will be installing hopefully soon and am pricing out tires as we speak. Will post pics once i get everything done. Ive done lots of searches but saw lots of people with different answers regarding tire sizes. My rims are front = 19x8.5 and rear = 19x10 was told to run a 235/35 for the front and for the rear a 265/30 does that sound right?

Those tire sizes sound good for that drop. Get them mounted as soon as you get that 4th wheel

I would get 275/30/19 for the rear. I had this on a 9.5 wheel and it was a slight bulge in the rear.

Pic of Rear with a 19x9.5 and a 275/30/19 tire:


Pic of front with 19x8.5 and a 235/35/19 tire:


as you can see the front is kinda starting to stretch so any smaller I think would be too much stretch. That would mean a crap ride, worse handling, and more prone to wheel damage with a smaller tire.
