Default Tire suggestions...

07 is350..

Looking to buy the rims in the link I provided below. They're MRR Groundforce GF7 and I will be getting 19's (19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear).

Wanted to know what size rims you guys would suggest..
I am purchasing some BC coilovers with the Swift spring as well.

Thanks in advance.

The size you have are very good. You should stay 8.5 in the front to avoid rubbing. If you want more concavity, you can go wider rims on the rear. Just one little thing you might consider, the wider the rims you use, your fuel economy will also decrease but you gain more traction hence better handling.

I really love this rims especially its concavity. It is not really lightweight though, 24-25 pounds each. I was pulling a trigger on it but I hate to wait 6 weeks so I bought the TSW instead.

I meant to say what size "TIRE" would one suggest not rim. Made a typo. But weight doesn't matter to me, it's just going to be an daily driver, no racing for me.
