295,305 or 315?

So I just got my wheels and test fitted them (19x10.5 on all fours) and the big question is what size tires should I go for? On the recommendations it says 295,305315 I don't want a bulging sidewall just want it clean looking.

Any input guys? If you are running this setup please input pictures please thank you!

If you don't want a bulging sidewall, I would run a 295...

Agreed.

When you pinch a fat tire on a skinny wheel.

295/35/20 Michelin Super Sports on all 4 corners. Balance with sway bars for neutral handling.

That's up to your preference, I run my coilovers softer on the street and stiffen them up a little more for track...Like your signature picture...

Thanks I drove over an hour for that picture.

So what are my options for 295? And what profile should I get? Michelin super sports are expensive.

Oh well, I think you would have almost the same tire track size on the road with 295s, since your wheel is tucking it in with 305s.

On 1LE, the rears definitely have a larger track on 11"-wide rears compared to 10"-wide fronts, even though the same tire is used.

at 230 a tire on amazon prime cant beat that and I went with Hankook Ventus v12 and they're awesome had 3400 miles on them now. And they're even cheaper now coz there's a new version that came out.

Well to be honest, I did the same. I also have 19x10.5 wheels, and went with 305 tires since RS3s were very deeply discounted : ))
