Im running 265/295s great combo, I'm going o have to replace the fronts soon tho. Would 275s in the front be better for the ratio? I believe it's 1.52 compared to my current set up of 2.38

Really depends on what series or combination of series you are running. (40's, 35's, 30's)

sorry the rears are 295/30/19 and fronts are 265/35/18 was thinking of going to 275/35/18.... now what's with the ratio is it the closer to zero the better or is it to certain percentage?

***running hankook v12s my rears lasted about 25-30k miles

Either will work fine, 275 will have less understeer.

Im sure you can fit 305/30/19s. I have the same set up and i have 285/35/19s now, contemplating 295s for sure next tire purchase

EDIT: Hopefully you have your fenders rolled especially if you are lowered...Pix naoooo!!!

I'd definitely recommend rolling the fenders!

295/35/19 will be a better choice, 305/30/19 is pushing the limit.. you will need conservative offsets and rolled fenders to fit 305

Depends on the offset. I'm running a 305/30/19 Toyo R888 which run large. Could pass as a 315.

Default +12 offset wheel question....

before everyone starts telling me I should search. I have searched the big tires thread, 19's thread, volk threads etc.... lot of info but nothing really conclusive or too verified on exact specs

So my question...

with a 19x9.5/10.5 +12 offset
running 255/35/19 and 285/35/19

how much camber is needed needed to run this setup with a normal roll and not a pulled setup. I want to stay in factory camber specs all around so this is a big deal for me as I dont want excessive camber wear.

I know a lot of it depends on tire brand (ie toyos are smaller, bfg larger, etc) so I will take that into account for sure. I just have heard a lot of people say it will fit find and then then post pics of their setup with nothing but tire specs and rim sizes.... thats without a camber spec it isnt that useful. Almost anything can be fit with excessive camber and pulls.

So yea basically I want to know from the experts how tough it will be this setup to fit with just rolled fenders.

Also I was wondering if I ran tire sizes 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 would I still have to run a lot of camber? It seems most people who are running more aggressive setups are using these tire sizes, but again a lot of people dont post the camber specs they are running with this setup.


For reference I have run these setups with my rolled fenders with no issues or rubbing problems

19x9.5/10.5 +22 with 255/35/19 285/35/19
18x9.5/10.5 +15 with 275/35/19 295/35/19

the car fell in oem spec camber. I believe about 1.5 front 1.75 rear. i have to find the paper and will update after

Anyways TIA

Depends the tire and how much your lowered. I'm running 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot SS and 285/35/19 Michelin PS2's w/o changing my OEM camber but Michelins run "fatter". I had PZero's in 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 and had to raise the front 1.5 an inch.
