Hey guys, I'm new to the forums as well as new to cars! So basically im trying to upgrade my 17" stock wheels on the kia forte 2022 gt line to 19" wheels! And I've got a good deal on this rims so i got em! But currently I'm stuck with finding the perfect sized tires to avoid any rubbing or any issues! It would be really helpful if anyone can suggest me what would be the best option for me! I've attached the wheel specs below.
Looking forward to hear from @Arith

How is it going to perform with a 225 stretched over a wheel that wide?

Yikes, it's going to tough fitting wider tires with that +35 ET offset. Ideally you want +45 ET, then you can go with either 235 or 245 tires.

But with +35 ET you'll most likely rub with 235 tires, especially with a 8.5" width. So with that I'm kind of in agreement with 2023BD and 225 tires. Granted you could probably make 235 work, just need to negative camber the rear to death.

Everything ”you” are after is on Aliexpress.

Just curious as to why you using quotation marks everywhere.
