Okay if I were to go with a 9.5 front and 10.5 rear then what tire sizes would I be looking at in order to not throw of the speedo and what not. I know that 275/35/19 is recommended for 9.5 inch rims but how about 10.5 inch rims? Is it possible to go w/ a 295 or 305 rear w/out throwing things off too much?

 

I just had some Volk GTC's quoted in that width. I have had two different suggestions so far.

One vendor recommended 245 fronts, 275 rears. The other recommended 255 fronts, 285 rears. Mine were for 18's though but using the same 35 aspect ratio.

 

you can do either...

245/35/19 / 275/35/19

or... if you want to do some cutting...

265/30/19 / 295/30/19

 

Isn't 295/30 shorter than the stock rear? You can run 295's or more, it depends on the offset of the wheel and if you are lowered.

 

.3" shorter on 295/30/19
.3" taller on 295/35/19

Personally I would rather go shorter then taller... if you stick with 265/30 / 295/30 both wheels will be shorter but carry the same fractional rotation as the stock sizes...

 

wow its pretty hard finding tires in 265/30/19 and 295/30/19 fitments. Any suggestions?

 

I'm running a 275/35 19 on the wheels i just got with a 10.5 rear. If i change tires, i'm going with a 295 35.

 

Try 255/35/19 for that front wheel. I think it will fit a bit more flush, and several tire manufacteres make that size.

For the rear, I really suggest NOT to put a 275 on that 10.5inch tire. It will look stretched on the rim, and provides very little curb protection. Go wither 285 or 295. Depending on your offset and how low your car is, you may have to roll the fenders.

 

Heh, heh, heh . . . this is the million dollar question, eh? I have 10.5" rims (+22 offset) and I find my 285s are not wide enough. The tread is stretched and there is NO curb protection. If you plan on lowering the vehicle, you will probably have to roll the rear fenders. I'm at stock height and the 19s fill the wheel well very nicely and I have no clearance issues. BUT, good luck. I have yet to find a manufacturer that offers a suitable set of tires. Currently, I use 245/35/19 (8.5" front) and 285/35/19 (10.5" rear). Find someone with a 295 or 305 with the right stagger for the front also doesn't look promising.

With the tire headache alone, I almost want to revert back to a 9.5" rear . . . despite it all, the 10.5" rear lip looks bad @ss on my TE37s (+22 offset)

 

im running a 295 pirelli and i have no rubbing issues wat so ever and a 245 in front and looks perf and no rubbing with the wheel fully turned and over bumps

 

I was just looking on discounttiredirect and i ddint' see many available options for larger tires. Who makes a 295/35 19 or 295/30 19 or a 305/30 19 or a 305/25/19
