get 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 (not the 275/35/19 as they are narrow)

Will that size fit stock rims?

The S-04s run a bit narrow, so he was suggesting that you go up a size to be closer to the size of the OEM tires. You can run a 305 on the rear sport rims easy

Sweeeeet! Thanks for this

How about the fronts?

I've run 265 up front. I think you can run a 275. At stock height.

Note that I when I go up in width a few sizes, I usually go down in profile to keep the diameter as close to OEM tires as possible (this keeps the speedo more accurate). I like to run 255-265/35/19 up front and 285-305/30/19 in the rear.

yes it will.

The 245/40/19 is normal width but for some reason bridgestone made their 275/35/19's narrow. probably for them fella flush a toilet type folks, maybe?

for the rear, get the 285/35/19 which are nismo size, but will fit the 10" width Sport wheels just fine.

the PSS's are lighter when comparing same size tires, at least in 19's
