Took a few months but my custom 2pc forged wheels inspired by Work GT5 3P + SSR SP1 finally came to reality

Specs: 19x9.5 +22 w/ 255/35/19 Falken FK510

Is there a reason why folks choose beefier tires on those te37 wheels? Seems like will kill your range more with bigger wider wheels and tires?
It's the recommended size for the 19x9.5 +28 setup from System/Model+. Also, it keeps the overall wheel/tire diameter very close to OEM. Personally, after getting a pothole bubble on one of my tires and curb rash on the other within a two weeks of owning the car, the extra meat and width is welcome. The trade off in range is nominal. Going from a 20" wheel that weighs 30+ lbs. to a 19" wheel that weighs 21 lbs. offsets the rolling resistance issue. I haven't not noticed a change in range so far. There's a great Youtube video by Engineering Explained that describes the range penalty from running 20" wheels. One more benefit is that I can lower the car for aesthetics/performance and the ride feels the same as the stock suspension which is pretty compliant and soft.
 
Depends on wheel sizing and offset. Most 19x9.5 et25-28 setups are usually running 255/35 or 40 sizing. Some go up to 265s. However if its the new 18x9.5 Systemmotorsports sizing, they are likely on a 265/275 40R18 so rolling diameter always stay the same.
You're exactly right. I'm running the 19x9.5 et28 setup with 265s. It's very close to the OEM 20x9 235/35 setup 26.5" vs 26.3". With 255s it's 26" overall diameter.
