Default experts plz: getting new wheels soon..need help with tiresize

thanks in advance. Im considering getting either MRR gt1s or the gt5s staggered in 19s and lowering with H&R springs. I don't wanna have to end up rolling my fenders so..i would love advice on what size tires to get for front and rear for all of you guys out there with 19s and a decent drop. Sorry if there is already a thread similar..im fairly new to the 2is scene and great advice would be greatly apprecited!

19 8.5 and 19 9.5 offsets: 35 F and 45 R

Not sure about the tyres but your wheel offset seems bit too high on the rear. I think you should be aiming for about +35 to +38 if you want it nice and flush with your fender. If you go with +45 you'll probably need spacers or its going to look sunken on a 9.5 wheel

I dont think MRR makes custom offsets..but in their line up the 35 and 45 rear is right for what they stock..with the gt-1 they will look good with these off sets..here is a picture of Ricky's IS with gt-1 and he has +45 in the rear. If you want I think you can fit a 5mm spacer in the rear to make it right close to the fender...

225/35/19 and 255/35/19 should have no problem.
