I currently have 245/35s on mine. They ride good. However, I heard 245/40 is even better in regards to ride quality. I'm switching mine when it's time to change my tires. Also let me know how the teins are. I'm kinda in between getting them or just go ahead and do coilovers.

I think i am going with 245/40/19 for better ride quality but some people have tell me that i can't go too low with 40. I will let you know how the ride is with the teins coilover.

Man your ride is incredibly clean. And the fact that your going for OEM wheels is awesome because they are so sublte. However, with 245/40/19 you will rub. I had 245/40/19 tires on my 19x9 + 45 wheels and I rubbed my rears. Even after I got my fenders rolled, I would rub with lots of people in my car. I never had a problem when I had 245/35/19 though. And at the time I was just on springs..

nice clean ride, i really like that grille.

one thing that bothers me though, it's the Euro R badge at the rear. i think only 1st gen has Euro R, for us the euro equivalent would be accord type s i believe.

In order to keep the proper outside diameter, the 245/35/19 is the proper size although it will ride harshly.

I'm not sure that I'd run anything with such a short sidewall in any inner city environment. That said, the 40's won't help with impact damage either. Big wheels are always a "form over function" thing and only you can decide if you can live with the (sometimes significant) downsides.

Nice looking wheels though.
