Best tire size for 19x11 rear wheels

[Yamazuki]

I can tell you that on a 24 Dark Horse Handling Package car with Steeda Sport Progressive lowering springs, Pilot Sport 4s in 305/30-19 will fit the factory 19x10.5 w/ 24 offset front wheels without any rubbing whatsoever during normal and/or spirited driving. As will the Pilot Sport 4s' in 315/30-19 fit the factory 19x11 w/ 52.5 offset rear wheels without rubbing under the same conditions.

No it does not.

Yes, it does.

305 are 26.6" in diameter
315 are 26.5" in diameter

That means, yes, it does. The front are taller than the rear.

Go to tirerack.com and look at the specs for the Pirelli Trofeo RS.

Those tires are what I installed on my car in December when I wore out the Pirellis.

So how much lower is your car with the lowering springs? I already can't go some places with the stock handling package Dark Horse. I have to be very careful in many places that I do visit.

Somewhere between 3/4" and 1", I guess, according to Steeda. I have exactly 4" from the bottom of the front splitter to the ground. And yes, there are plenty of places that I have to be very careful getting to or avoid entirely.

Yes.

Could be a typo or mix up on the site. There's no reason why a larger tire would be shorter. Every other brand is the opposite.

If you are running 19" wheels I like the 35 series tire best. I ran a 305/35/19 on SVE X500 wheels 19X10 front and 19X11 rear. On the front I ran a 285/35/19...here is a couple of pics. I don't have this car anymore...moved on to a G87 M2.
