Hey guys, I know this may seem repetitive but I gotta ask because I haven't seen anyone ask about these exact dimensions yet.

Well anyways, I am going to buy the Chromium Black XXR 530's:

19 x 8.75 +15 in Front
19 x 10.75 +15 in Rear

I have purchased H&R Race Springs, and I want to do everything at once.

So here is my question...what tires do you guys think? I really want a beefy tire, I run 285/35/18 in front and 315/35/18 on my mustang in the rear with a 2.5" drop and rolled fenders. They are absolutely perfect. I would like to have the same type of scheme on my Type S. Can I run 265/35/19 in the front and 315/25/19 in the rear? I will roll my fenders completely as well on the Acura...

Let me know what you guys think, and please brutal honesty. I am not one of those pussies that gets butt hurt when someone is honest about their stupidity. I am not a foreign car guy so this is a different world to me.

Thanks for you guys help!

Have you looked thru the sticky at top of this page? New wheel/tire spec thread.
I would look thru the last 3 or 4 pages just to give you what people are running.
There is one guy running 275 rears and 265 fronts I think, but I could be wrong

But 315 rears never seen it! That is one big tire.

That rear will NOT fit. Unless you cut out and reweld in wide fenders.

perfect specs are 18 x 9.5 et 22 on all four corners. Run them on 235 40 18 for perfect flushness

Thanks man, Yea I want a good staggered set, but I don't want to cut anything. just going to roll the fenders and add camber if necessary.

Josh, those wheel/tire specs are WAY too aggressive for the TL. Your fender is going to be sitting on top of the tire and you won't be able to move without damaging something.

You should ditch those springs and get a set of coilovers. That way you can adjust the ride height to accommodate the rubber instead of being stuck at one preset height.

This is the second time I've seen those specs specified for being flush. Are you running this, or where did you find them? Does this mean that the rim will be flush with both the front and rear fenders?

I wonder if there are any pictures of this setup. I'd love to see what it looks like.

Here's the post I saw earlier.

Yea I am rethinking my decision. I am so used to muscle cars that I don't take into account that these are so different. I am thinking 18x8.75 +33 and 18x9.5 +20. Then running 245 in the front and 265 in the tears. I would love to do coilovers but I don't want to drop $1100 quite yet. I will once I get the car in the right look that I like.

I just picked up some 18x9.5 +22 wheels.
They are the perfect sized because it clears brembos WHILE being flush with fenders.

When are you going to install them? I'd love to see pictures =) What tire size do you plan on running?

my car is supposed to be ready from the shop TODAY.
i have the wheels at home, they came off an Evo with 245/40/18 tires.

its all dependent on if the shop releases my car today.
if today, I'll have pictures up by tonight.

Can't wait to see the results!

Here's a car with similar specs with 19s and slightly different tires (225/45R19) in the front.

Did you get your car back? =) If the spokes on my wheel stick out past the edge of the rim, should I still make the rim flush with the fenders or should I make the spokes flush with the fenders?

robocam, got the car back on Friday.

the wheels do stick out past the fender a tiny bit!!
i'm looking to drop it a little more to tuck in the tires a bit.
also, i'll play with camber a bit
