1001% sure

Use 245/40/18 if you want a bit more MPG but less cornering ability.

Whoooohoooo!

Going to order these within the next week or so.

Wheel F/R (159 per)
225/40ZR19

Rim F/R (190 per)
19x9 with either 35 or 45 offset

This is for a 2009 R3. Do you guys think it's worth it?

+35 with 245/35/19. It looks like you are getting cheap stuff. I don't like cheap stuff, so I'd say no it is not worth it.

I already told you what would probably be best. It's up to you to take my advice or not.

Ok guys im about 90% sure these would be my best tire sizes to go with, but just wanted to double check this is right.

Wheel sizes are 19x8 +30 f and 19x8.5 +33r
Figured the stock R3 tire size is good so 225/40 correct? and then for the rears I wanted to run 235/40 but there arent many choices in that size so I am thinking a 245/35 is what would be best.

Basically the only real question is would it be very stretched looking if I just ran the same tires front and rear? Its only a half inch difference and im thinking if I run the 245s it may be too big looking even though I know it will fit.

I dont think I will have any rubbing issues, just lowered on S-techs.

Also sorry if im being somewhat unclear, just want to know what the best tire size will be for a stock look.

Alright well I have a little time to decide.

I think these wheels should look pretty damn good.

Flush and stock height doesn't really go together. I'd say 8.5 +30 with 245/40 if you really aren't going to lower the car.

I'm thinking of getting new tires on the stock 18's.... Was thinking 245/40/18 for front and 265/40/18 for back. Will these fit properly and look good?

(I could go for 45's as well... all are flexible, those are just some numbers that I was looking for)
