Pretty sure most folk on 19s are using 235/35/19.

I prefer 235/35 because they give the rim a tad more protection, but it depends on the width and offset of the wheel and whether the car is lowered.  For example my 8x19 with ET50 will take 235/35 without any rubbing issues, but my old 8.5x19 with ET45 rubbed occasionally at the front untill I did the screw mod at the top of the arch.

I ran 235/35/19's when I had the ED30 and the BBS CH's at an ET48 offset. Worked great.  :smiley:
