Best Tire Size
I have zenetti fives. they are 19's X 8's. the tire size i have is 245/40 19. To me the whole package looks a little small or something and i dont think they are the best choice for what i want(0-60, 1/4, etc..)
I understand that the wider your tires are the more contact with the road , the better traction, etc..
What is the best tire size for the rims i have? Is the 8" holding me back? I chose those to have the ease of tire rotation.
Any and all replys are appreciated.

You're limited by the 8.0. I would have tried to get at least a 9" If I was going aftermarket

255/40R19 minimum recommended with is 8.5, but you could mount them safely.
