Anyone have 245/35/19 on 8th gen coupe?

Hey,

I'm thinking about getting 19's with new tires to replace my stock set. I started an earlier thread to see which tire size I should get and I learned that 245/35/19 is the best conversion.

Anyone have this size tire on their 8th gen coupe? Does it fit alright with no problems? (ie. no rubbing, etc.)

Thanks.

The recommended size is actually 245/40/19 and you'l see lots of members here on DA running that size. The closest conversion would be what you said, 245/35/19 but you will be giving up ride quality with the smaller side wall. I suggest you to go for the 245/40/19 as it fills up the wheel well nicely and it works well with a drop too.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it.

Like jpc17 said 245/40 R19 is recommended but the size is somewhat of a odd size to find. I run Falken's in the 245/ 40 and I like them. If you wanna refrence a pic with how they look I have one for ya :D

Nice! I like how it looks! Thanks for the pic Taffy!

Do the tires rub at all? Any trouble with the speedometer being off or anything else?

Nope no rubbing and these tires are about 1/4" shorter then stock so the speedo reads like 1-2 mph faster according to the charts i seen.

The Falken tires...do they last a while or does the tread run down quickly? If you haven't noticed, I'm new to the whole tire/wheel modding. lol Also, how much did the Falkens cost you?

Not sure on how fast they wear down. I have winter wheels and tires on atm. These have about 1500 miles on them now and still look new but they should still look new..lol
They were $180 a piece from discounttiredirect.com

Assuming you're talking about the Falken ZE-912, the warranty is as follows:

60/65 series: 65,000 Miles/106,650 KM
55 series and below: 40,000 Miles/64,400

They are actually Falken FK-452. I found the website on them but no info about milage they get.

I read some reviews on the Falken FK 452 and lotta people have complaints on how noisy they are. What's ur opinion on em?

I heard about the same complaints before ordering and to be honest I have no idea what they are talking about because mine are not noisy.

Aiight kool, thanks for the info Taffy! I appreciate it!

Hey Taffy, what wheel color are those, Black machined. The ones that I see have black around the rim but yours doesnt.

I have 245 /30/ 20's On my fronts and 275/30/20's on my rears, on the HFP Suspension No rubbing, and my trunk is loaded from my audio Install.... :)

Here's my '08 coupe with the 19" HFP wheels and Goodyear F-1 rubber. Pic below. These tires kick a$$ both in the rain and on dry pavement. (Not recommended for ice or snow!)
