If there isn't much difference between 40/35 in the front and 35/30 in the rear I'll go with 19" .
Make a trip to northern Alberta, then you will experience shit roads. GVA roads are like glass whenever I drive down. Anyways, I drive shit Alberta roads on 35 series tires with no problems, you can go with 30's easily.

will be upgrading rims, current ones are 18" with (225/40) tires all around.


new setup could be either one of the two:

18" with (235/40) front, and (275/35) in the rear

or

19" with (235/35) front, and (275/30) in the rear.

im running 19x8.5 and 19x10s with 235/35/19 and 275/30/19s...roads in vancouver are okay for this setup...granted i dont have super cheap rims, bumps here and there haven't killed my rims yet....just try to avoid big holes when you can...or take them slow. 3yrs now for me...and nothing yet. *knock on wood*

so let me get this straight.....you hate how the roads are because of low profile tires but yet your going even skinnier??? your logic is like reversed

that's horrible.

I need more beef.



the package I was looking comes with 235 front and 265 rear (nankang NS2)

go to greens and instead of spending the 1000+ on cheap wheels that may look tacky on a classic legendary car....i would rather widen ur current rims....
