I'm planning on buying a car with 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 wheels. The tires will need to be replaced, though. What are some size combinations that will keep the ABS, TCS etc. systems from freaking out?
Thanks
Thanks
Do you know how much it's lowered?
Does it have a camber kit?
Do you care more about looks or performance? Explain.
Just trying to get a feel for what to suggest to you.
Also, it heavily depends on offset. GeauxLadyZ posted great tire sizes, I run very similar only with 275's in the front, however there's a chance it might not work depending on your offset.
Given he doesn't know the offsets, I'd imagine they are somewhat high, so his suggestion *should* work.
Do you have a picture of the car?

I like the tire sizes *30 series on the 295*, but there is NO WAY to know if those will fit without knowing the offsets. OP - you can usually look inside the wheel for a stamping that shows the offset. If it's high enough, you can run nice big tires. If it's too low, you'll need to run standard sizes (245/275) or if it's real low, you'll need to run hellaflushstretchmytiresyo.
BTW, I assume we are talking about a 350Z?

What is the car lowered with?
just springs, unsure of the make

Performance. As far as tires go, I'm not too concerned about the looks


Oh, I didn't know the offset was shown on the wheel. Thanks, I'll check that out when I get it. He says he's running 305/30/19 tires on the rear.
These are the sizes I originally asked the guy at the tire shop for and he told me to stop wasting his time.
Thanks for the help. I will revisit this issue when I've got the car.
