Just get 19x8.5 That will fit the 245/35/19 perfectly. That's what I did, (see other post).
That set up is almost identical to the stock set. The only difference is the offset on the wheels the NSX wheels would be the best in this option but that’s a lot of cash to throw away.
How have the kumhos held up? Any issues? Thinking of going this route too. Mostly for price point.I just ordered some Kumho ECSTA PS91's(Poor mans Michelin Pilot Super Sport) in 255/35/20. They have them for a steal right now on Amazon for anyone that needs new tires for OEM wheels... $113/tire is pretty cheap.

Less that $500 per set for Ultra High Performance Summer tires is a huge win IMO. This is the cheapest size I could find in this tire so I'm glad it works on the factory FK8 wheels. See TireRack comparison review here...

Nice. I had PS4S on my previous car, they were excellent, I especially liked the traction on wet roads. You will enjoy the 4s. I recently got the R and abused the stock Conti's by using them in cold weather. I got the flakens as a replacement.I got myself these. I wanted to try out a wider tire. I felt less steering response but the extra grip was definitely there. The tires are quiet compared to the OEM continentals. You don’t get the massive rock and gravel accumulation like the OEM stock tires did. Well worth the expensive price tag to drive around town or the occasional track/canyon run.
give us an update once you have some more miles on these. i am looking at this exact tire & size for my stock replacement. i don't want to sacrifice any performance though...I got myself these.

You can try any of those out and chime in with your opinions on it. It gives us more insight on choices of brands and models. I am open to less expensive brands if they are just as good as my Michelin’s or atleast close.
A few comments:
I have been running the fire hawk Indy 500 in 255/35/20 on the track and on the road. It’s a good performance tire on the road and acceptable on track in the wet and dry.
