245 def. a 40 series if you want to keep the rims together with those NY streets. usually they will try to push a 35 series on you, but I wouldnt go with that.

make sure you definitely get a 245/35/19 at the least... I just got a set of 19x8.5 with 245/35/19's and I'm glad I did.. If I wouldn't have, the tires would have been way too stretched onto the rim.

I went with a set of (4) Falken Azenis ST115..

A 40 series tire should be fine.. I probably could have went with the 40, but instead I did the 35 series.

It's just that 40 profile with that size will look really ridiculous. I'm running 235 on a 8.5 right now, but wish I still had my old 245 on an 8.

Yup, 255/35/19 is what I plan for next set if I still have these rims by then

255 wont rub in the front with maxspeeds would they?
and you say with a 40 series acceleration will suffer but with a 255 it wont?
255 will slim your search results far greater than 245 when searching online.
