Stretched tires help

I need help on picking the right tire to stretch and if anyone has any personal experience or advice for me would be very helpful. I plan on going 225x35F for 19x9.5 and 245x35R for 19x11. I researched a lot and I have it down to Nankang NS-II, Nexen N300, Fuzion ZR, Hankook V1,or Dunlop Direzza DZ101.


Thanks!

direzza DZ101's were my first choice when i bought tires this year...but they were back ordered for 6 weeks.

i went with fk452's and they've done a great job so far fwiw.

^i'm running 225/35 on a 19x9.5 +25 and it's been just fine.

you're really reaching for the stars huh? hope you have some major fender/camber work lined up to fit these wheels.

what kind of wheels are they btw?

Definitely 245/35 for the rears. Nankang NS-IIs are what I'm running right now and they provide a shit ton of clearance since they don't have rim protection; in other words, they run narrow, naturally.

Falkens bubble very easily so I stay away from them.
