SSR Input Appreciated!

So i picked up a set of wheels over the weekend from a local member Harvey (G35_FTMFW) and I cant wait to put them on my car.
They are SSR Type F wheels and the specs are 19 x 8.5 +22 and 19 x 9.5 +22. The wheels are insanely light, im very happy

Diego (VossengG37S) recommended that I run Ventus V12, 235/35/19 for the fronts and 265/30/19 for the rears. Im probably going
to end up getting that but I would appreciate some more input. Do you guys have any more recommendations of size and brand I
should be going with?

Btw the car is dropped on eibach pro kit, Thanks!

Wait no, for the rear you might need a 265/35 cause it's a 19. Don't get a 30

I think you should put more meatier tires on there if you're only on Eibachs.

I say 245/35 and 275/30

You can go to tire rack.com and look at the specs sheet on the size of tires. It will give you the overall diameter of the tires.

265/30 has a diameter of 25.3"
275/30.......25.6"
235/35.......25.5"
245/35......25.8"

YES. I thought I saw SSR in your sig yesterday. Welcome to the SSR club, bro!

FWIW I can't really help you with tire sizes, but I love my Ventus V12's. They're an all around good tire. Cheap, too.

I like the wheels, can't wait to see em mounted. I run Toyo Proxes PR1, I like them, good grip, really good in rain. I agree, go with a meatier tire.

First off, sick wheels!

Secondly, I'm running almost the exact same set-up (I'm a bit more aggressive with a 10.5" wheel in the rear and 9.5" in the front), and honestly, not to **** on your parade, but I think it might look off on an Eibach drop...

As for tires, definitely go with something meatier. I am running 275/35 in the rear and 255/40 in the front and I am lower than an Eibach drop.

I knew you were gonna like the wheels!

No parade sh!tting taken haha. Thats exactly why i made this thread to get input from people who know what they're talking about

As far as tires i saw your set up and i love it. Exactly the look im going for. Do you think i should go for 255/40 and 275/35 as well?

Yeah, those are definitely some hott wheels. Big thumbs up from me!

As far as the tire sizes, I would probably do a 245/40 and a 265/35 on that set-up. To be honest, if I had to do my own set-up over again, that is likely what I'd do. Since your wheels are 1" smaller in width, I would say that set-up would be almost perfect.

A +22 offset is moderately aggressive for our cars. So, my only concern, with a subtle drop like Eibach, is that instead of sitting flush with a little camber, the car won't be low enough to run a lot of negative camber so your tires would sit more square and poke a little. You know what I mean? Obviously, I don't know because I haven't seen it yet. However, considering the less aggressive widths you'll be running, I actually think you may be able to pull it off nicely.

I'm looking forward to seeing this...

SSR's are sweet. Had a set of integrals back in the late 90's. Great proven brand.

Great call Bill. That is the setup to rock!
