I have the stock sport 19s and want to know the biggest tire size I can run on the rear, I hate the way the 245s look there way too skinny for my taste. Thinking aboout getting 2 rear tires and moving my stock rears to front.

 

I've got 275/35. People have gone wider but then it starts to buldge a little. And if you lower or anything you can rub. 275 seems to be the most popular option.

 

Ya I want to get eibach springs and some spacers
Too

 

I've just recently replaced the stock Bridgestones on the stock 19 inch wheels with Falken FK452's but with wider set-up. I went with 245-40-19 in the front and 275-35-19 in the rear. Personally, I think it handles and looks much better than stock. Although the Falkens looks like they dont have much of a rim protector, which wont matter unless you are very careful when parking.

Anywho...to sum up. Go with the 275-35 in the rear, 245-40 in front. Hankook and Falken's are both good choices for cheap replacements.

 

Any pics of those tires on your car? Had you previously lowered your G?

 

yeah, 275/35/19 rears should just right.

 

Hankook 275 on the rear wheel:

 

Any rear photos? Or side shots?

 

Sorry bro, no pix of the car with the new tires. My car is all stock.

 

if you stay with the stock rims then yeah 275 is prob the largest you wanna go w/o worrying about rub especially if you're gonna get eibachs, but if you get another set of rims (in my case my stock rims got all messed up so I had to find a replacement set -- I went to 19x8.5 with 245/40 in the front and 19x9.5 with 285/35 in the rear but you're definitely right lol, the stock tires look very skinny for my taste as well

 

not sure if its been covered but i will probably need new summers next season but i have 2 front tires that are 225/45/19 that have 85+ left and will only be needing rears. if i go with 275 35 19 rear will it look funny ...or any other down sides?

 

275/35/19 on the rear will fit flush to the rim. It looks very aggressive from the rear. I think it suits the car better than the 245s

 

haha, oh how times have changed, from wanting fatty tires to stretch and poke, so many options!
