Hello I tried using the rim calculator but its confusing to me. Im interested in purchasing some wheels that I found. The wheels are 19x8.5 ET35 whats the best recommended tire to go with. I was looking at 245/45r19 seems that according to the calculator this is too big a variance from stock?? This tire size seems to be in stock at a lot more places and gives me more options. I want a decent tire no capital sports or some unknown brand. im going to be putting these wheels on a 2012 TSX sportwagon on stock height and I want to have as much rubber as I can get without having any problems. I may drop the car in the future an inch or so but not right away so what are your guys suggestions?

 

the stock tire configuration is 225/50/17
you want to keep the same rolling diameter.

a 245/35/19 tire would keep the same rolling diameter by .41%

 

you could use the 245/45/19's if you really wanted to, but it would be 7% taller.
which would mean your speedometer would be 7% faster

 

i have 19x8.5 +35 with 225/45 and fits juuuust right at front and rear without fenders being rolled... good luck... I wanted to get 245/35 but I know it would rub both front a rear without a doubt

 

I am highly opposed to aftermarket wheels with no drop, especially 19s, I'd rather drop first on stockers than do that. But since you say you might get a drop later, I'd go with the size closest to OEM specs, what JustnSpace said initially: 245/35/19. Any larger and you will run into other fitment issues if you do decide to get springs later on, especially with that rim width and offset.
