Default 19" Tire question *Update* Recieved wheels *pics*

Hey guys, i've used the and can't really find a helpful answer. Here's my question:



I'm looking at some 19" wheels:


TSW Vortex





They're 19 x 8 (35 offset). What size tires are best to use? One website told me 225/35-19's and another has told me 235/35-19's. Which is it!?


Thanx

i'd personally go with a 215/35/19 because its the nearest over-all diameter to the stock tires, btw where did you find the vortex in 19s for the TC?

/\/\ Wouldn't 215's be streched on 8" wheels?


I found them here:

They also have them in silver, but I'm getting black for a SW tC and this is what they will look like, this is a photochop:

And I would go for 215/35/19 if you don't want to spend the extra money for such a LITTLE difference. IMHO, it's not worth it. So, I'm going with 215/35/19 Toyo Proxes 4.

145.81 were the cheapest I could find until I found this site. Saving about 90 bucks with this site.

cool deal on the heads up. Too late on the Vortex's, already ordered them several days ago. Gonna go with some 215/35 Falken's only because the treadwear's 380 vs the 300 on the proxes.

$125 per tire here:

Well, are they ALL-SEASONS? IF not, then that might be why, but good luck on your set up!

Na, not all-seasons. I don't need all-seasons. I never drive my car in the rain and it never snows here.
