bigger wheels but not growing width?
Hey guys, What's appropriate tire size for 19" rims? I want to 19" rims but don't want get wider tires, is there a way I can do that? If there is no choice to go wide, how much slower would it be when accelerating? is it noticeable? Please help and thanks in advance!

^ I think that these would be perfect for you. These are 19x8.5 all around. Bigger in diameter but not overly wide. Also, they are super light at 21 lbs per wheel which is much lighter than the coupe 19's. LMK if you are interested.

OP - a 225 vs a 255, etc. is going to have NO adverse effects on acceleration or quarter mile times. NONE. It will as I previously stated effect grip and handling.

What I was thinking was as the tire width go wider the surface of contact between tires and ground will increase. 225 to 255 is 30mm increase, as the friction getting bigger should the resistance become greater to slower the acceleration?
