So, I am getting 8.5x19 fronts and 11x19 rears, haven't decided which wheel. A while ago, someone posted the proper wheel for optimum characteristics closest to oem settings. First which tire gives better performance, dunlop or the Conti's. Second should I go with the dunlop 9000's, 235 front, 305 rear, or 245 front 305 rear, which is best. If I go with the Conti's, 235 front 305 rear or 245 front 305 rear or 235 front 315 rear or 245 front 315 rear. What is the best option and which tire? BTW, I do not like the Conti's all that much, however, I do not know much about the dunlops and which sizes??

I am waiting for my HRE 19's 2 inch and 4 inch lip, very aggresive offset

I decided to go with Contis 295-30-19 and 235-35-19

I was going to run Pirellis but the Conti rear is much wider and I do not want a rubber band sidewall especially with the pothole roads in NJ

The Conti 295 is wider than the Pirelli 305 and gives you more sidewall at the same time
My car is lowered with H&R springs and after a lot of research I found this to be the best way to go
Hope this helps you
Maybe we both should have kept our Sport Techno's and made life much easier, I was going to powdercoat mine black and polish the lip but I wanted a more radical looking wheel
