Hi:
I just bought BBS CK anthracite 19" wheels. they are 19 by 8.5 and 35mm offset.
Can anyone give me some advice on tire size?
Thanks

The most used size on 19" are 235/35/19.

For 8.5's all around, I agree with remmib, 235's all corners.

You didn't want a staggered set huh?

Thanks for the reply guys!
The rear wheel is not staggered. I want the staggered look, but I think the CH cost a bit more, and the CK doesn't offer staggered wheel

.

Would I need a 10mm spacer to make the setup more agressive?

Thanks

Hi:
Would the combination of 265/30/19 tire with 19/8.5 35mm offset look weird?
please help,
thanks

I think it would look a bit weird, if you have 8.5 all around, go with 235/35 all around.

But then the rear will be even smaller than my stock 255/35/18?
will i have less traction at the rear?

You could go for the Yokohama AVS ES100 at 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. The company's .pdf on this model tire says that the 265/30/19 size is approved to fit on 8-9.5" wide rims. All the other brands & models I looked up seem to need a minimum 9" rim.
