MORR FS77 - tire size?

So I pulled the trigger and ordered the 19" MORR FS77 in Satin black. Wanted to ask about recommended tire sizes, prefer to get MPSS!

19x8.5 et33
19x9.5 et40

245/40/19 & 275/35/19 or 235/35/19 & 265/30/19? I'm lowered on H&r sports.

The F30 wheel wells fit a 20 perfectly without looking oversized.

Is there a thread on that car above, because that thing is perfect?

Is that a factory color, or just tricky photoshop?

Look isn't everything though. At least for me there is a reason I lease performance cars. Much performance is lost in a 20'' for the 3'er. It makes no sense unless your car is purely for looks. I can see you cali boys doing it, but on the east side, you would be dumb as hell to be riding on tires that small, with all the holes in the road around here.

I run several sets of 19s on mine, and although I will agree I get the feeling sometimes that they look small, they perform great in all weather conditions, and even against the holes in the road I fail to avoid. I have not lowered my car as I have a home on a large hill which the car bottoms out on sometimes, but I regularly have the trunk filled with heavy stuff, and when the car is at dropped height, the wheels look perfect. If you want to see it in person without getting the drop, just stuff 10 cases of water in the trunk from Costco LOL

I'll be purchasing MPSS and what tire sizes would you guys recommend?
235/35 and 265/30 are the standard recommended sizes right? Id prefer to have something a little more meaty
19x8.5 et33
19x9.5 et40

OP, please search but looks like there may be issues with customer service regarding Morr wheels.. so depending on if that's important to you, may need to factor in your decision to go with said company. hope it's not too late to change anything, but if it is then here's wishing everything works out for you...

just my 0.02¢

That's my car. I haven't posted much on the forums lately. I can't remember the last time I created a thread but the wheel sponsors have been posting shoots with my car here and there. Velgen wheels also did a shoot on the car. If you'd like to see more pics, check out my facebook page I made for my car at https://www.facebook.com/projectestoril or hit up my instagram- itsyaboychino

19's are not too small on a sport sedan. Some may prefer larger, but I'd hardly call 19's small on a mid-sized sedan or coupe. If you like the rubber band tire look, to each their own, get 20's. But 19's are not "too small."

nice... I am going with the same setup as well (H&R Sports FS77), actually just received my FS77's last week (after a long wait). My shop guy is recommending I stay conservative with the 235/35 265/30 for MPSS tire size, but i wanted the beefier look. Your research find any issues with the bigger tire combo? Morr actually recommended that I stay with the 235/35 front as I could run into rubbing issues... they did say the 275/30 would be ok though.

Mister_k is running the same set up on vs8.2 and mhdelarosa is also running the same on his velgen vmb5. Looks good to go based on their cars!

Edit* but their cars are 328. And kauro is running the same size but with hankooks on cf5v and looks great.

How long did it take you to receive it? They honored the Presale for me because I never got a response from them and ordered mine in late oct. I've been emailing them for an ETA but not getting any response... Post up pics once you get it installed!!

I ordered on their presale in late July, they charged my card in late August and just got them this past week! It was a drag to get solid info from them. Still waiting on the Go Pro and actual invoice and documentation on their replacement program. At this point, I was just happy to finally get the wheels. I wont be mounting them until January though as I have to finish the holiday shopping first, haha. As soon as I get them on, I'll post pics. Just gotta figure out what size tires I'm gonna go with...

Stick with the 19" I had 20" and if you are lowering the car. You may bottom out. If you have the 19" with a decent offset you'll accomplish the lowered look without being "slammed"
