Tire size options on 19" stock rims

Hi,
I need new tires for my G37s coupe and wondering what other size option tires can fit on stock 19" rims? Looking for wider set up.
Thanks

Best bet is to get spacers.

You can run 265/35/19 in the rear and the will give you a nice bit more tire in the rear..

Front you can run 245/40/19.

if youre looking to bring the wheels out a little further than yes, as csnpsu said, spacers are what u want (if you are staying with the stock wheels). getting a wider tire wont accomplish this. if youre looking for a wider tire just for the sake of having a wider tire, i believe most common set up would be 245's front and 275's rear....

275 is to wide for 19x9inch wheel and will through off his speedo and also more side wall you have hanging over the more body roll you will have.

I'm running 245-40-19 front and 275-35-19 rear and I love it. There is no excessive bulging in the sidewall and no noticeable increase in body roll. My speedo is as accurate as it was with the stock setup. I'll try to snap some pics to show you what it looks like it you want...

You guys don't see it but I do. You want your side wall to be pulled a little .. You look at the 240.40.19. You see the side wall is pulled and fat looking . The 275 looks like it's fat. I would not run a 275 on 9inch wheel.

A 275/35, has the closest diameter to a 245/40, and a 225/45.

Also went with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 ventus V12 on the stock rims.
I don't see any tire fat, the car just looks massive from behind, and i like that. However, you will need to hold your steering alot more then the stock tires. Wider tires do follow the road with more response, not such a good thing when the roads are in bad shape(ex:montreal).

Btw, the ventus are alot more comfortable a bit less noisy, of course much cheaper then the OEM overrated potenza.

You're the minority as far as that issue is concerned. A 275 on the rear is totally fine and has no sidewalk buldge.
