Hey everyone i,ve been looking at the american muscle staggered packages the dark stainless 19x8.5 front and 19x11 rear not sure which tire sizes to get and brand. The car is stock height and has the track pack option and i'm on a budget. Thanks in advance

Hey bllit - I guess part of the question is what sort of driving do you do with your car? Do you like going around corners, do you need all season capability, etc? If you have a Brembo package car, those 8.5" front wheels are narrower than your stock wheels, meaning potentially narrower front tires. If you like cornering, I wouldn't recommend that.

Personally, I prefer a square wheel/tire setup and cramming as much rubber as possible for better handling and traction. You might want to look at something with a 19x9.5 or 19x10 square setup with 285/35/19s. I know you are on a budget, but good tires make such a gigantic difference in feel and performance. There are certainly a ton of threads on this and other forums that might be able to help you more with your choice. Good luck!

If you are on a budget, Id suggest indy 500s, best bang for the buck.
