Just a tip, I would throw on some cheap 18" rims with winter tires.
- This way you keep your good rims clean.
- You don't have to keep switching tires of the rims, with more risk of damage.
- You get the extra give from a higher sidewall which will help if you drive through any hidden potholes.
- Your winter set up will be cheaper with the 18" (granted except for the one time you buy rims)

Thanks for the response. I read the thread I didn't see anyone with that setup. Does anyone know if it will work I really need winter tires I found some that size. I honesty don't plan to drive in snow at all but don't want to get caught with summer tires and flurries in the winter. (drive on weekend and could get a decent deal on those tires) please someone help. Thanks.

225/40/19 is 2.4% smaller then stock, 255/35/19 is 2.1% smaller then stock, so both will be fine.

As for width, 225 will fit wheels with a width up to 9 and 255 can fit comfortably up to a width of 10. As your sports wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x10, you are fine there as well.

You don't want them too small, you will light up those tires easily
