Which size tires should I get?

Im in the process of getting a set of 19x7.5 RH Evo C5's. I can get a tire and wheel package that includes the tire size 225/35/r19 I dont want the rubberband effect. What should I do, just get the wheels and buy seperate tires that are 235/35/r19 so its a thicker sidewall making the ride a little bit more tolerable? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Get the 235's, I had 225's and I put a bubble in the sidewall. They are too short, and offer no rim protection.

My next full set will be 245/35's for the extra load capacity.

Thanks Joe, i was just worried that 235's would be stretching the tire on a 7.5 width. If you put 245's on that will be insane, whats the width of your wheels are you lowered?

235's are perfect on 7.5" wheel, no buldge but no stretch.

I have h&r sport drop with 19x8 wheels with a +45 offset. I know i'll have to grind off some of the rear fenderlip, but thats easy.

And I have 275/40/17's on the FRONT of my mustang (315/35/17 on the rear), so these ultralow profile skinny as hell tires dont really phase me. I cant believe how narrow some people pick their tires.
